  • I am unable to comment in some .ml instances. I can comment and post no problem in my home instance and beehaw (I’m not sure if I can now due to them defederating) but not in two instances on .ml.

    I can comment here interestingly enough. Otherwise the app is pretty dang responsive and runs better than my previous 3rd party reddit app. I have noticed some crashing rarely, but I think that may be due to my broken android install rather than the app itself.

    Kudos to the developer(s) of Jerboa though, for an alpha this runs pretty well



  • In the US and my city unfortunately public transit takes some time. My local transit system has had a hard time keeping up with maintenance of their E-hybrid busses and has busses out of service more often than not. This causes many trips to be overwhelmed with double the amount of people they would usually take.

    In addition to lack luster infrastructure, you can experience safety concerns with some members of the public. I was personally followed all the way to my old job once and had to tell my manager “A crazy man followed me here, if he comes in the store call the police because I will remove him”

    Despite these downfalls public transit becomes much more useful when combined with a bicycle. I can take the bus to the shops and ride back because most of the return trip is downhill.

    When I owned a car I would often choose the bus with bike over my own car because then I wouldn’t have to worry about parking.

    In my city, it’s not out of the ordinary to look upwards of 40 minutes for a spot. I used to have to park 20 minutes away in the hills then skate back. Otherwise I’d be doing laps around my neighborhood trying to find ANY legal parking.

    I can definitely understand why some members of the public prefer cars over public transit just for safety.

    I’m not a little guy by any means, I’m 190 pounds of muscle and have some facial scarring. I’ve been described as “scary” and “You look like the devil” but I have had a number of run ins that made me fear for my safety.

    If I was a 4"5 mom I would almost exclusively drive.
