Seriously! They’re the biggest land carnivores bar none. If you’re 5’ - 5’6" a bigger polar bear will be able to look you levelly in the eye while on all fours* and on its hind legs, it’ll be more than half your height again.

The cost to move to America is quite steep, though, and there are significant drawbacks.

The only real issue with OpenStreetMaps is that the quality varies significantly town-to-town depending on how much love it’s had by local, knowledgable contributors. Road directions are one of the more complex things to configure in OSM, especially with complex multi-lane junctions, and so densely-populated areas and major roads are likely to be quite good, whereas more rural areas can be hit-and-miss.

I do still search for Reddit posts when looking for opinions about products, solutions to technical problems, etc - much as I don’t want to use the platform, the quality of content is generally much higher than Quora, the Microsoft Forum, and other open discussion hubs.

I refuse to be an active user, though. I know it needs to make money, but fuck their attitude to their users and moderators.

Thanks - looking forward to it!

Very much looking forward to V2! I’ve had to switch to Voyager for working spoiler markdown – it’s also excellent, but I generally prefer Mlem.

Cheeky questions while I’m here:

1. Voyager also seems to handle GIFs in comments better, is that something on the cards for Mlem?
2. Is there a plan to introduce swiping forward? I frequently accidentally swipe back to the community list and lose my place in the feed.

Works great, you guys rock!
