  • I ended up getting a Lat64 Swift because I didn’t find this on the market and this was the smallest I could reasonably find, I just pack the empty space with towels and stuff to keep them from moving around.

    If I wanted to go slim but still a backpack, I have a little Konami Sports Club backpack that barely fits discs snuggly, so you may just see what backpacks you can find that open with a top flap and just try fitting a disc in it to see if it works. I’d love to find an actual disc golf backpack the size of my Konami bag. Photo of the bag.





  • My problem with Kagi is that they’re still running at a loss and they think AI will be their savior.

    And their AI currently gives extremely wrong information but the devs think that’s fine because the point of their AI is to be fast not accurate.

    I liked it as a search engine but at this point I can’t see it surviving. If they raised the prices to where they lost a lot of customers and still can’t get to positive numbers they aren’t going to fix it by having AI give you wrong answers.





  • I have only ever gotten suicide reports when I’ve defended trans people on reddit, meanwhile I get them almost every single time I’ve done that. It’s 100% transphobes hoping to make trans people think about suicide. I’m not trans or suicidal, so they’re wasting their time with me, but that’s the motivation behind it, hoping they might get someone in a dark place.

    So I have to say I’m pretty on board with defederating from an instance that is full of posts that very much also want trans people eradicated.





  • Is the SDF instance not primarily SDF users? Why would random people need to join because they saw it from another instance?

    There’s a lot of general purpose instances out there that aren’t full of pages of slurs, I’m pretty skeptical that people on the instance full of slurs don’t want to see those but if they don’t there’s other places they can find. Or they can find a new instance the same way any new user does, it’s weird to argue you need an unblocked account to find out where other people are talking, new users figure this out every day without leaving users here wide open to trolls who are already spewing garbage in this very thread.





  • I have to wonder if the people staunchly against defederation at any cost ever dealt with redditors from hate subs following them around reddit from sub to sub everywhere they posted to keep screaming at them about trans women not being women, while also repeatedly reporting them to Reddits suicide bot to try to make them think about suicide. It’s not exactly the nicest online experience and I had it more than once in my time on reddit.

    To me the benefit of federation includes defederation. If it was easy to just say “get rid of all the users from r/hatesub” on reddit it would have been a lot nicer. I don’t know why people are clamoring to keep hateful shit around. Go join the hateful shit instance if you want to read it so bad but I’d rather the users of an instance like that not be able to see me at all since queer people like me are who they hate so bad, and I can’t exactly block all of them.
