Can’t figure out how to edit on connect, so I’m just adding:
The best wired internet available to me is dialup (old school 56k, baby). We used a mobile hotspot from PCs for people (if you’re at all low income, seriously check them out. Life changers).
I’ve lived in small towns since 2009. 100mps would be a fucking dream come true. The fastest speed I’ve had in the last decade plus is 25mps until we got TMobile home internet, and now I typically get around 50-70. Technically it’s up to 300 with our distance to the tower, but there’s a fucking mountain in between us, so I take what I can get. :/
Homeschooled kid here. 4.0 GPA in college. Not all homeschooled kids are homeschooled by religious nut jobs. Some parents take their kids out of school because they don’t want them to get fucking murdered in one of our hourly school shootings.
I love that there’s a way to deal with shitbrained bigots on lemmy. It sucks entire servers get brigades, but it’s fucking awesome that they can be blocked. And unlike with the other site, if a popular sub was taken over, that name was lost. Now you can just remake popularsub@newinstance.fuckthebigots and I have never been happier to be off reddit. :)
