Business transactions. Think of small business that deal with cash, or paying contractors, etc.

There’s many reasons larger bills still exist, even just larger cash transactions like buying a second hand car gives a reason for larger bills to continue to exist.

The one that is in the post linked by OP is just a screenshot of a twitter post

Drink Cuke! It’s heaven in a can

This was my pathway through as well, FB, Twitter, Insta, and Snap. Stopped using those accounts and shifted over to Reddit for my ‘social’ fix. Just recently went through and manually deleted all my posts and comments and finally my account from Reddit, now just on Lemmy and kind of on Mastodon.

Here’s an article on The Register. I haven’t read through all of this just yet, but this might give you a pretty decent picture:

This is what I can find on their website. Last updated April 22, 2026.

Seems like Russia is mostly blocked and China is fully blocked.

This guide lists different settings and methods to connect to Mullvad VPN from networks and countries where connecting to a VPN is difficult. This includes countries such as China, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan.

But Russia, China, and Iran are listed here. So maybe works? I’m confused

And the Fediverse doesn’t have all of those already?

These are inescapable in the modern age internet unfortunately, however the decentralisation of the Fediverse should help in alleviating those symptoms of an open platform.

Nice recommendation with Droid-ify! I completely forgot about this, installing on my phone now too

More users provides more diversity - More diversity provides the potential for more niche interests to arise - More active niche communities provides more reasons for existing users to stay - More active users staying on the platform inevitably attracts more new users.

Have a look on F-Droid, there’s a whole heap of open source games on there

Ah true! I’ve never read Piers Anthony’s work before, but have been recommended him in the past as a sci-fi fan.

I’m interested to see if I pick up on these things too!

Interesting about the snipers comment. Does the game limit the amount of snipers per team? Or is it more like BF1 for example where everyone can be a sniper if they want?

More users to accommodate more active niche communities

Standoffs is what I know them as

EDIT: No idea where you are located, but here’s an Aus store with some standoff screws. Hope that helps

I think so personally, because it’s still engagement and I’m assuming it probably contributes to the MAU number which could in turn attract more users

Thankyou!

I’m thinking Abbotsford at this stage, but also super open to Thornbury and Coburg (loved the vibe around Thornbury and High Street)

Thankyou! It was a really fun night out.

Goodluck on the new friend finding!

Hii thank you! I’m flying out tomorrow, so won’t be able to unfortunately. But I am looking to move down here before December, this trip was just me sussing some places out

Seriously? What’s giving off Eddie Izzard vibes?

EDIT: Well if your goal was to make me feel shit, congrats

Thank you so much!! I love these shoes too, but after a whole night out in them I’m definitely paying the price today haha.

Nice to meet you too

Oh it was such a fun night out! And thank you so much for the kind comment
