  • Good to know thank you! Piefed seems to be doing a lot to help the fediverse grow, so thank you for your service 🫡

    Now that the issue is fixed I need to make a new account or will it work with the old account too? Also I noticed that my profile photo from my old account isn’t federating haha, but that’s a very minor issue so I’m not too concerned about it haha












  • Interesting. I wonder why they didn’t give people another option.

    It could be an overcorrection to the BC proportional representation referendum. The referendum contained, like, four different options for different types of proportional representation, with convoluted explanations for each of them. Most people found the ballot too confusing, so most people didn’t mail it back (it was mail in only, and something like less than 1% of BC residents responded) or just chose to keep things the way they were (presumably, in part, because it was the least confusing option). The BC government might be trying to make the survey as simple as possible to avoid another debacle like that.

    It could also be that the BC government decided ahead of them that they’d go with daylight time for economic reasons. By increasing sunlight in the evening you increase the window of time where people are likely to engage in economic activity. There may have even been some lobbying efforts behind that decision, who knows.
