This sounds fun! I don’t really have a great camera but maybe I can find something from a past trip.

Also, I believe you mixed up the months at the end of the post?

[Westhead] Teams bracing for the NHL's possible release of alleged sexual assault involving Canada's 2018 WJC team

[Westhead] Teams bracing for the NHL's possible release of alleged sexual assault involving Canada's 2018 WJC team - Discuss Online

>Several team execs, sponsors and player agents tell me they are bracing for the NHL’s possible release of an investigation report re an alleged sexual assault involving as many as eight players on Canada’s 2018 world juniors team. If NHL names and suspends players allegedly involved, affected players would likely appeal any sanctions to an arbitrator, as per CBA, and may pursue defamation lawsuits vs league, said agent of one player who attended 2018 Hockey Canada gala. (While an investigating officer in October wrote in court documents he believes there are grounds to charge at least five players, police in London continue to decline comment other than to say an investigation is ongoing.)

On Reddit everything I saw usually had thousands of comments already since I never sorted by new. Nothing really to add that would be seen by anyone. Over almost a decade on Reddit I think I posted at most 20-30 times.

Lemmy definitely feels more approachable because of the smaller size of the communities. But then If it becomes massive I’ll probably slow down my activity again because of the same reasons mentioned above.

Reposting what I posted in our Matrix chat server:

Elon is learning why social platforms usually provide reasonably priced APIs. Wonder if Reddit will be hit by the same thing.

Discuss.online Matrix Instance - Discuss Online

A matrix [https://matrix.org] instance has been setup for the domain discuss.online. This allows the user of usernames like @jgrim:discuss.online [https://matrix.to/#/@jgrim:discuss.online]. The consideration is to offer a matrix username and server access for each member of discuss.online. This service is still in beta and heavily manual. If you wish to access the discuss.online matrix instance, please ping me directly. The automation of signing up will come soon; however, no release date has been set yet.

I’ve been trying a lot of things to try to get traffic here.

Would you mind sharing some of the things you have tried? Since there now are a couple of settled “main” instances it seems real hard to grow organically as a smaller instance. Is there something we can do to help other than word of mouth or donate?
