This is great. Kei cars are so fantastic, I love my Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV and all cars with this kind of shape and style are just so damn practical. Would love to see exports targeted to other countries too not just Japan, but that still seems so far off. Sigh.
Dude, this is an EV community. We ALL know what ICE stands for in this context. If you see ICE and EV in the same sentence or headline, it is VERY clear what the acronym is. Maybe if it was a tabloid newspaper where few people know much about EVs your complaint might make sense.
Honestly? I live in a small town, and face to face isn’t much better. People are incredibly bigoted, and might be polite to your face but incredibly judgemental and small minded, especially to anyone perceived as different. Empathy is a skill that needs to be practised, like meditation. And many people lack it both online and off.
Thanks for this comment! It really explains exactly why Friendica is struggling.
Is a real shame as IMO events (and groups) are really important to get a critical mass of adoption in Fedi. I look at sites like Allevents.in which allow people to submit but most of their event data is scraped from FB. We need Fedi instances which make searching events easy. So many groups and individuals and organisations feel unable to leave FB because they can’t see anywhere else to tell people about events, at the moment that is pretty true. But it needs to be an allrounder site, not an event specialist site.
But not being able to connect to busy Lemmy communities would mean Friendica isn’t an ideal allrounder, and even if the Friendica instance got big and has very busy groups, it would have issues.
I hope that these issues get solved!
