Thanks for adding a small blurb about the article. This should be mandatory on all posts.
- My pleasure. I agree!
The Lemmy equivalent would be the Eternal June.
- Is that correlated with students getting out of school for the summer and joining, or a different event? I have noticed a lower quality of conversation in a number of communities recently.
