Vancouver

A few weeks/months ago when I was active here, I remember there were more daily posts and each daily post got more comments.

I more or less stopped posting out of protest for lemmy.ca policies regarding defederation for political reasons (as if complaining about landlords isn't half the reason this community exists) and I come back to see that things are much slower here.

What happened?

Edit: I'll be revving up my posts again, because I really do want to see this community thrive even if I don't like what the lemmy.ca admins are doing.

The search for a missing 55-year-old woman has ended with the discovery of her remains in Vancouver’s Southlands neighborhood.

Vancouver Police launched an investigation into the disappearance of Tracy Pickett on September 27, after she was reported missing from her home by a family member.

Earlier today, Tracy’s body was found by VPD officers who were searching for her in the area.

Vancouver Police will work with the BC Coroner’s Service, who will determine the cause of Tracy’s death. At this stage of the investigation, Tracy’s death does not appear to be the result of a crime and there is no public safety risk.

First Oktoberfest here in YVR, not super impressed with the amount of Oktoberfest events coming but this one looks promising. Are you going? Ever been before?

When standing, do you generally hold onto the bars or the loop handles attached to the bars? What did you do this morning if you were on one?

E: Sounds like bars are the popular option here too, for many reasons. Hygiene was a big one I hadn't initially considered. Thanks for answering, everyone!
