Why, I couldn’t even get into the article before it faded into a paywall.

To get past paywalls, add “http://archive.is/” to the front of the URL.

“http://archive.is/http://foo.bar/baz”

It works 99%+ of the time.

The impact of our cars, though significant, is far outstripped by global shipping (those container ships aren’t carbon-neutral), power generation (EV cars gotta get their power from somewhere), or the simple burning of rain forests to make room for cattle or crops.

Forget what? 😉

Former RIF user here; Connect is very comfy to use. Almost no learning curve save for learning how the fediverse works and even that’s been made easy.

Boost for Lemmy is also coming soon. (For those who preferred that to Sync. Both are awesome.) Nice to see former Reddit talent helping out in the Fediverse.

Thanks for the work you did on the SF sub; I got the sense it could be a handful on occasion. Nice to recognize some of the cool ex-redditors here. I modded /r/chaosmagick and a half-dozen other tiny subs. It’s pleasant to get away from the flustercuck spez has turned reddit into.
