So happy to see some more toys in this space, it’s really pretty limited and there are some cool toys that can appeal to all kinds of kids.

Oh wow, that’s scary. I’m semi-rural too, thankfully I don’t hear much about accidents or incidents in roundabouts at least locally. I’m curious about areas where there are pedestrians and bikes that cross roundabouts too… where I’m at they are farther away from walkable/bikeable territory so it’s really just cars using them.

I’m going to assume positive intent and not the hostile tone “knock it off” reads like to me.

True… roundabouts took some time but are pretty prevalent now in my region and people have gotten used to them. I don’t think the US shouldn’t try things, just pointing out a difference in culture and attitude towards cars & bikes in the US compared to Dutch. I also don’t think a college town is the right place to test something like this, maybe I’m wrong and discounting younger drivers too heavily.

I trust the Dutch with this design, bikes are treated as priority with a lot of respect. Not the same in the US… and in this test, I especially wouldn’t trust college town kids and local drivers who asked for (and got) additional parking on the same street.

Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.

Right? Reads like… hey kidnappers, parents hate this one simple trick

I haven’t found an easy way yet either. Hoping the upcoming apps have some features for this. I’ve been using wefwef.app for my Lemmy.world account and it makes visiting specific subbed communities really easy.

Any favorite weapons or subs?

The communities I’m used to are usually REALLY into the lore, the memes, the meta. It can be fun to sift through but I’m not a contributor really. I would love a more casual focused space.

Are you doing the splat fest next weekend? I’m still trying to figure out what team I’m going to pick. I really do love the tricolor battles, it’s so chaotic and unique. I honestly wish turf war was more like tri color.

Splatoon fans? (kbin.social)

The Kbin Splatoon community is kinda quiet, do we have more Splatoon fans out there on Kbin or elsewhere? I found a good Lemmy spot too.

So I’m still getting the hang of the fediverse, and really enjoying my time here. This may be helpful for new people trying to figure out their setup.

-Pixelfed is your instagram: I joined Pixelfed.social since in general I am trying to see how the largest communities play out

-Kbin or lemmy is your Reddit. Again I joined kbin.social, but these communities all talk (or “federate”) to each other so it’s a matter of personal preference if you want to join the main .social or find an alt instance that feels more like you’re kinda stuff

-Mastadon is your twitter (I’m sure there are others, I’m just not a big twitter style person). Honestly I wasn’t a big twitter person anyway, but a cool thing about ActivityPub is you can see things from kbin, pixelfed, etc from any one of them. It’s not always clean but it’s pretty dam cool

I wish all well in their journey across the threadiverse. It really does seem awesome even if it’s taking some time to build up with users and content.
