Oh, this would make things much easier. I signed up… do you have any idea how long it takes to get an invite?

Ah interesting, that could be an option. It only has Telegram, Signal, and Whatsapp, but that's half the battle.
You can if you have the top bar enabled. It's to the right of favorites.
Don't listen to the naysayers. The vast majority of us are appreciative of what you're doing here, and thankful for the work you've done so far. 600+ donations to back that up! We're happy to help contribute specifically because we're not the product.
Check out Grow Your Own Services. It doesn't have everything (e.g., kbin, Lemmy, Calckey) but it does offer what I think you're looking for with a number of the other more popular services.
Matrix is one area I've wanted to get into, but haven't managed to yet. How does bridging work?
I hate the tipping culture, and wish it would go away. But I'll still do it for sit down service as that's part of the deal. The ones that really get me are for pickup as well as the fastish food services where you go to the counter to order, prepay, you pick it up from the counter and bus your own tables. What exactly am I tipping for?
And why do taxis need tips? Or hairdressers?
With so many things in this country, the origins are racism. While tipping originated in Europe, it became popular in the States post-slavery as a way to not have to actually pay black people. Haven't shaken it yet.
And annoyingly, the ones who often push the hardest to keep tipping culture are the servers themselves as they can take home a lot of money on a busy weekend evening. Hopefully, we're getting closer to getting rid of it though.
Thanks! That was really helpful!
How does something like this compare to Obsidian?
That's in the same vein as "it's not the crime it's the cover-up"
Hmm, I think I could manage this. What hosting service did you end up going with?
