This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.

The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.

@StudChud I know, I was alluding rather to the comment you were responding to (but in not as humorous a fashion as you did, to be fair) but also that I'm seeing this a bit in some Rexxit refugees, who haven't grokked yet that Mastodon and Lemmy & Kbin are all part of the Fediverse, and they are able to be viewed, commented on and interacted with, from each other.

My apologies, I'm a bit cranky today lol.

It is definitely amusing, but I'm not surprised people haven't heard of the fediverse, or know how it works. But it's definitely a good thing, as more users will bring more content to this federation, and improvements.

@StudChud it absolutely is! It's a very exciting development. It's how the Internet was meant to be all along, before we got told we had to join specific sites to have access to community. That has always made me very, very angry and it's fantastic seeing people realise how far we've gone down this path, that it leads inevitably to bad things, and that there is an alternative.
