Done! I’ve contacted them as well. At least via an online form that I had been linked to.

These speedbumps are on a bike and pedestrian path. There shouldn’t be any cars.

Thank you!

I’ve sent them an email to inquire about the purpose of these speedbumps and why there are so many of them.

This really seems to be ridiculous.

I hate to direct traffic to them, but here is the Twitter link to what seems to be the video.

Vancouver Chinatown is the second (or third) oldest Chinatown in North America after San Francisco (and maybe Victoria). Beside of the Chinese community living there since generations, it is a popular tourist attraction and a unique neighbourhood its own character that you can’t find in Richmond (or anywhere else in VGA) in this form.

IMO, it would be a shame to stamp out this uniqueness and replace it with the same style of glass and steel towers with the same style and look that you can find anywhere else. There are ways to build up and provide more living space, while retaining the character at street level if must be.

Thank you so much for looking into this! You must be swamped with all of us newbies here on lemmy.ca.

If it’s a general Lemmy federation issue. Do you have any guess, if the issue can be resolved at some point? (I’m aware, it might not necessarily be at the top of anybody’s priority list with all the influx happening right now.)

I doubt that it’s defederated because of the bot count. I ran into the issue (Lemmy.ca <-> Lemmy.world) already well before the bot invasion

The list says non-comprehensive, but with an instance as large as lemmy.world, you’d expect it to be listed, if it would be defederated. Plus Lemmy.world is still listed on linked instances.

There must be a different reason for the poor synchronization between the two instances

Edit: See comment further down. Smorks is aware of the issue and will look into it.

Personally I think, it should be generally ok to rip content of Reddit, but it should happen manually rather than via a bot.

• Not everything that makes it to the top of a subreddit is quality content.
• By manually picking and choosing what to repost here, it would give more control to the users of c/Vancouver on how to mold and grow their own community instead of just replicating what’s over there.

We have the chance to create something new and distinct here in its vibe. A bot might hinder that.

My heart goes out to you, your parents and all other residential school survivors. No child, no parent, no people should have had to endure such trauma.

I hope, one day families who still suffer from this generational trauma can break through the horror of their and their ancestor’s experience and are able to stop their suffering and thrive instead.

The major apps have announced to shut down on June 30th.

It’s expected that there’ll be a major influx of former app users - if they haven’t left reddit already
