I’ve really enjoyed my time on Lemmy - I left Reddit after the third party API fiasco. Having said that, Lemmy’s still super quiet sometimes, but I feel my voice is more heard by the people who are here.
Bold of you to think you’re getting another election
No shit, Sherlock
Yeah this was the main take-away for me, too. You’d expect they’d have ironclad QA when doing shit like this.
Marriage wasn’t important to me, either - I was with my now husband for many years before we tied the knot. I’d never been one for the traditional big wedding, wasn’t sure what difference it would make, etc.
What changed? My Mum died - and in all the times at hospital and then dealing with the funeral etc - I realised just how important being “next of kin” actually is. In so many ways. And while you can cover most of your bases with various legal documents - honestly there’s already a super easy way, that is very well understood all over the world, that achieves this.
And while I wasn’t expecting it to feel any different afterwards, it really did - for both of us. More certainty and just really solid.
