....Usually the case. I concur. 🐈⬛
For the new ppl here to the community, just wanna say welcome! This is an exciting time to find your way to the Fediverse. It's a massive network and has potential to be even larger. I see so many new and interesting communities pop up daily with members that are here to share knowledge and collaborate with others as well simply be social and chat, even large social platforms are now finding their way to the Fediverse as well. Threads by Instagram/Facebook is now part of this huge space. This is a great thing, I feel with large social platforms finding their way here network stability will increase. There's some cons to this too. We all know when big business moves to town the ads come as well. What is everyone's thoughts on this? 🐈⬛
**There are those that say a picture is worth a thousand words...meh, I require only two...for those interested you can help Christian (Apollo app) refund the yearly premium subscribers of Apollo by getting what may be the last of Apollo merch here https://cottonbureau.com/people/apollo also you can apply the promo RIPAPOLLO for a 10% discount. I'm as of now unsure how to support the devs and Narwhal community but there are talks on various forums, once I find out more I will post the info here. Much respect to those that stand with and contribute to this irrational move by Huffman. 🐈⬛**

I just checked the and noticed Polygon has been steadily decreasing in value since Huffman's ridiculous price for use of the API....well ya know. Now for the creators there their once valuable avatar NFT's are slowly beginning to take a tumble and feel the heat as well. Thought this article was quite fitting. Also I noticed Christian from Apollo has got some Apollo merch for sale at a discount to cover refunds to the Apollo app premium members. Use promo code RIPAPOLLO and you get 10% off at his site. I find this truly bad for the platform and don't see it recovering anytime in the near future. Its good to have another platform (here) and kickstart something that I hope to see go mainstream and be a wonderful and valuable asset to others. 🐈⬛

Agreed. Mercedes and others of EV vehicles now "rent" you horsepower. For a extra fee your car's horsepower won't be throttled or limited. Ahhh technology....we've came so far. 🐈⬛

Perhaps we can learn from this. As I raised my whiskers from r/programming as it went dark and as took in the Reddit landscape. I dare convey the disgust of my view and what once was a fairly decent host of valid servers covering meaningful content and topics has became home to some of the foulest users and mods alike, hosting some of the most absurd and leud servers. Looking for another habitat for this ole cat, I found none.... r/programming is still down but even if it opens the doors under new moderation, I will not be returning as those that made the subreddit what it was will not be there, thus they may as well parse it with r/programminghumor and be done with it.
I am glad to see other programmers like @tyfi take a stand as well and break ground here. I'm hopeful for this small community. 🐈⬛
