Probably the case. It would be quite the coincidence if Toronto, Poland also had a Toronto Metropolitan University…

I’ve never used this, but a friend of mine spoke very fondly of it.

It’s interesting to see these old comics. I never knew that Violet was originally introduced as a love interest for Charlie Brown!

Boil 'em

Hang on, is that Isildur’s only line?

Honeycrisp is near the top, as it should be.

Now what are these “SweeTango” apples that beat my beloved Honeycrisp by two points? I’ll have to seek one out…

This is a great resource!

In addition to your excellent “Why Lemmy?” comment, would you consider including a version of our “Why not Discord?” comment?

That’s great to hear! Thank you for the work that you do.

Thank you all for your responses!

I’ve summarized them into the following 4 bullet points:

Discord is a poor replacement for Reddit. Here are 4 reasons why:

• Format: Discord’s main strength is chat-style messages, not forum-style discussion threads, like Reddit and Lemmy. Discord groups with more than a few dozen active users can quickly become disorganized.
• Barrier to entry: Content on Discord is inaccessible unless you have a Discord account, while almost all content on Reddit and Lemmy is available without registration.
• Discoverability: Google (and other search engines) index Reddit and Lemmy, and relevant threads show up in searches. Discord content cannot be indexed, and won’t show up in searches.
• Censorship: A Discord community is ultimately still controlled by a single Big Tech company, which can delete your community on a whim if they so choose. Lemmy, being a distributed social network, is inherently resistant to censorship.

Any further suggestions or tweaks?

Quite interesting to see how many parts of the current launch mount and ground infrastructure are not rapidly reusable. I can see why they are so eager to get Pad B operational.
