Thanks! (lemmy.world)

This is corny, but thanks for being awesome! It feels so nice to see this community grow out of a shared vision of what the internet should be.

Standing up my little instance has been a blast! I'm not quite done with it, but your combined enthusiasm gives me hope for the future of the internet. 😊

Oh wow, thanks for your perspective!

Regarding your last point: My chinese-made e-scooter can't be readily used right after you buy it. You have to:

  • download the app
  • register an account
  • sign away your soul and firstborn in the privacy and TOS agreement
  • Watch a several minute long & UNSKIPPABLE intro video
  • Finally unlock/activate your scooter

Especially the video felt super dystopian. As if I were not a conscious person, but an asset that needed training.
