I know it will but you are worse than wasting your time putting that decision off because it will limit your community in ways you cannot even perceive yet. Stop wasting everyone's time, don't build houses on top of destabilized sinking mud and expect people to move in, and if they do now you have a MUCH bigger problem on your hands than the challenge of building a new building since you have to convince people the old building which looks fine is not safe. permalink fedilink source parent [–] uuj8za@piefed.social 11 points 7 months ago It's also not that hard to host on Codeberg... especially if they're already doing something disruptive like forking... permalink fedilink source parent [–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 7 months ago Not even doing the bare minimum is also the enemy of progress. permalink fedilink source parent
