Always happy to see more transit options especially expansion of public transit.

Not something you see everywhere in the country

Amazing, now lets just hope serious progress is made to these goals

Man this is seriously awesome! $2 billion in public transit investment is no joke! Keep the money comin

Experiencing it as well

I have noticed this as well too. However I had thought that all passengers for Amtrak trains were supposed to wait in the Great Hall. Not sure if it was a temporary change for covid. Did you see construction?

Spotted cow is #1. Just went to Devil's lake this weekend and had to grab a 12pk

Really excited for this to be done as the train travels super slow through this area. Should improve speed along the entire line once this is finished.

Just wish it wouldn't take so long

Friday morning swim club is awesome! Definitely recommend going, just try and get there early to hear their instructions/announcements at the beginning and grab a close parking spot if you drive

Free coffee as well

If you're looking avoid the craziness what I usually do is wait in line for coffee before jumping in, and then once its clearing out a bit jump. It makes it a lot less crowded and chaotic, also you can go further down not in the center (which is where all the pictures are taken)

Awesome!!! We've got ourselves a community now!

Do you mean beelink?

Replying here instead of your other reply but yeah it definitely is like the paradox of tolerance but I will also add that for most people an open platform is probably not the #1 priority. I think a lot of people just want to be able to access content and/or update their friends and separating off threads wont help that

However who knows what can happen maybe threads will flop, or maybe they will make the fediverse mainstream and we will have the interconnectedness that we all want

At the end of the day though, some servers will block threads and some wont but with enough options everyone can join a server that fits their needs and that really is what the fediverse is about

Phodega has definitely been on my list for a while. Ill definitely make note of the fried pork dumplings and Ube cookies. Sad to hear about their beef pho though.

Can confirm it means busy area (busier than usual), depending on how much you zoom in it will show up heres another example:

Also you can tap for information on its busyness and things in the area

Very well written response. I appreciate it.

It will be interesting to see how much growth will remain thats not just anti-twitter anti-reddit users willing to momentarily move out of spite and will remain here in the long term.

I really hope ActivityPub/WWWC does not get overrun with corporate interests but only time will tell

Personally I think it's a test to see if the fediverse has the legs to stand on. I dont think we will see an internet in the future that exists without corporation run social media and blocking them before they even launch is against what the fediverse is for

Now if they have rampant content moderation problems and degrade the site then sure block them but I think they should be treated the same as any other fediverse site
