It's Kbin.social. It was already there when I joined but it had no active moderation.
Recently the dev, Ernest, has made a lot of improvements and one of them is an automatic process to request to take over abandoned communities so some of us are fixing them up.
I agree. Also, if the climate catastrophe unfolds as predicted, there will be a return to intense regionalization of dialects because people will live in smaller groups and have less contact with outsiders.
My ancestors are from at least 6 different countries and many of them spoke languages I can't even really speak the modern equivalents of.
I think as long as I remain mute people will just think I'm a simpleton or the local equivalent (since I don't understand them and don't know how to work 16th century tech).
In 500 years from now, presumably they will know that time travel has been invented so they will be more likely to suspect it.
It fell behind, it's started up again and I'm loving the improvements. I'm.on .social so Ernest is kind of the instance host as well as the dev. I do trust him, he's cool.
When I first joined it wasn't even federating and we had constant Cloudflare challenges. I'm patient.
Besides, I have accounts all over the fediverse if I feel like it. Lemmy still doesn't feel right to me.
Basically it means "we really wish we could stop this embargo but we acknowledge that none of us can physically stand up to the US, so we won't attempt to make it illegal for any of us to obey the US".
