This doesn't belong in this community.

...that multiple people agreed with here...

The admin/mod team here make the final decision as to what is nice or not. Do you have a genuine grievance?

10 years and 10 months of this!

I'm so fed up with this shit. I want it to end so badly.

Yes, Beehaw admins are still planning a move to other software.

Looking forward to this.

Is UBI = Universal Basic Income?

Yeah...I believe a revolution could, easily, break out in America.

...I don’t see that happening before revolt does.

This has come to my mind many times. I have this gut feeling that a large portion of our population will just come to the end of their rope with nothing to lose. I believe that a massive civilian uprising could begin to dismantle civilization as we know it. It could get ugly here.

About five years ago, I tried to make my way through One Pixel Wealth. It was so disheartening that it took me several months to get to the end. My mind and emotions were so taxed by the experience.

I believe that J.R.R. Tolkien warned us, through his books, about 'diseased dragons laying on mountains of gold'. The, roughly, 400 Americans (representing the '1%') aren't human.

I don't know where America is headed, but this country I live in is in despair and need of great reform.

late-stage capitalism

I haven't heard about this. Would you mind explaining?

BTW, my brother lives in Portland Oregon. I was able to visit him last year and was impressed by downtown and the shore.

^^^ Brand new sentence!

We are discussing moving Beehaw off of the Lemmy platform, yes.

5 years ago I founded /r/AskBibleScholars and I've been wanting to bring this knowledge off-Reddit and into the wider Internet. Thankfully, @Penguincoder@beehaw.org has been instrumental in getting this set up for us.

I have a handful of scholars that have agreed to run through some beta testing and they have their accounts set up.

Right now, we could use any of you to make accounts there and ask some questions. This will give us all the opportunity to test out the software and generate feedback.

If you would be so kind, then please head over to AskBibleScholars.com, create an account and ask some questions.

Thank you.

In this post I am speaking as a Beehaw fanatic and not as an admin. That is why it is placed in the chat community. To be clear, I am not speaking on behalf of the Beehaw admin team nor the community as a whole.

Currently, we have $5,430 that is in our collective purse to be used to further this endeavor. When I take a step back, and look at that amount of money, I am humbled. That is hope…it is an expression of where we want to go and what we want to preserve.

You may be wondering where we are with the testing of alternative platforms and any other considerations.

The testing phase, as far as I can tell, is over. We are, I believe, in a stage of digesting all of it. And, I have a feeling, that we are holding out hope that there could be other options we haven’t encountered yet.

I appreciate the patience of everyone involved and I don’t want to make a hasty decision.

Thankfully, we have had persons such as PenguinCoder to rescue us from the huge Reddit exodus and all the technical problems associated with the Lemmy software platform that we rely on right now.

There have been whispers that PenguinCoder could be working on a new platform for the Beehaw project.

Thank you all for grabbing onto our northern star, be(e) nice, and running with it.
