Unfortunately 24 hour libraries, or even late night, are pretty much non-existent now because 1) parents use them as babysitters and 2) nothing against homeless people but librarians aren’t equipped or staffed to take care of them appropriately.

And now with the book bans librarians are in short supply too, which means shorter hours and even fully closing on some weekdays.

Support your local library, everyone! See if there’s a “friends of” group. It’s a great way to connect with your community.

God bless Firefox reader mode.

I wonder if this will have any effect on the film industry…

Condolences OP. Mine got bent recently too and it’s not looking good…

I think my home instance should count!

Sorry to be grandpa reddit but the last one felt forced too

The comments are suggesting everyone do charge backs.

You ok there bud?

Agreed. Hopefully it’s just a temporary reaction because of all the skepticism floating about.

Wow… I’m new here so I’m still learning how all this works but I tried to apply to beehaw at first and they were having severe issues with their approval system so I either got denied or, most likely, got stuck in application purgatory.

Honestly, with how Lemmy is set up, it seems like it makes more sense to cater your instance to a more niche crowd than “all nice people” like beehaw was attempting to do.
