On se dit qu’on va seulement s’investir pour sa ville.
On se dit qu’on veut participer aux idées de projets communaux.
Juste regarder.
On se dit que, bon, de toute façon, on ne passera pas. On regardera comment ça fonctionne. Et puis…

Merci pour cet article tout doux sur le rôle d’élu local. Je me tâte à m’investir dans ma nouvelle ville, mais je ne sais pas si tes propos tiennent la route quand on vit dans une ville plus grande – même au niveau du quartier on parle de dizaines de milliers de personnes, et je…

Replied to Fediverse Account Portability And Blocking by @edent@edent (shkspr.mobi)

One of the many great things about the Fediverse (Mastodon, PixelFed, Lemmy, etc) is that your account is portable.
Let’s say you’re bob@social.boring and, one day, you decide to move your account to foxyfun@furryextreme.yif. Well, with a few clicks of a button, all of your old followers are now fol…

My turn to test: I’m wondering if posting from my Wordpress website, which is compatible with activitypub, works to post a comment to Lemmy. If that works, I’ll then have to figure out how to create a post in a community 🙂

The McNulty spectrum

Liked I am on the McNulty Spectrum (Jay Little – Software Obsessionist)

So over the last few weeks, I have been re-watching one of my favorite television shows of all time, The Wire. If you haven’t seen it, you should probably rectify that oversight. That being what it is, I’m currently making my way through Season 3 and I had a revelation of sorts: I might be a McNulty.

and you’re not alone in this exact state of mind! (minor spoilers for season 3 of The Wire)
