A strange scene here in #winnipeg. Volunteers have been organizing to clear bike lanes of snow and ice. The city has asked them to stop and has raised the possibility of fines if they continue.

There's details in what constitutes a cleared lane and how recent warmer weather has affected the consistency of the snow/ice. But why would any city want to stop volunteers from doing the work for free, improving their neighbourhood for free? That doesn't make sense to me.

Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boosts but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.)

How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time?

On a phone, or other touch screen device?

OR

On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer?

(If it's half and half choose the middle option.)
