Are you talking about more dependencies from a developer's point of view? I get that to a degree, but from a user's point of view, isn't AMP technically better, especially now that it's open source?

I agree with the petition, but I wish it had mentioned that Twitter hides most, if not all, of an account's tweets behind a login wall. Same for Instagram for that matter. That's a strong reason not to use it for government communication.
Thanks for the non-AMP link. Though my understanding is that the past concerns about AMP have been resolved now that it has moved to an open-source project under the OpenJS Foundation. Is there still reason to avoid AMP?

Swung by St James Park today to see Tiny Tiny Homes in action. Keeping people out of the snow.

Didn't expect to see Ryan Donais there, but the man himself was checking in on the housed, and I got to shake his hand. Keep it up Ryan!

Well said. Toronto has long been too dense for commuters.
I just lean towards it being a scam. I did some searching as well and couldn't identify the organization behind "Voter Research Services". If it was legitimate, they'd make that information readily available on some website. I think text message scammers consider it valuable information to find out if there is actually a person behind a phone number, so if they are scammers, even your first reply validated your number as a target for future unrelated scams.
I like this take. When I read some of Dan's concerning posts, I see someone who is really not used to working with others, not someone who is actively malicious
Oof, I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the link. The sub-linked open letter about his behaviour towards others is particularly concerning: https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/appendix/#behaviour
I'm still a bit torn, because I think Pixelfed (the software) is still worth supporting, but we can let more of the community decide. Ultimately the Lemmy.ca/Fedecan representative would have to decide anyway.
Looks like Ryan is applying to be a registered charity. The gofundme should qualify for tax receipts after that.
I'm not aware of Canadian instances. /u/otter mentioned recently that Fedecan may setup a Pixelfed instance next: https://lemmy.ca/post/25251642/13926523

I recently learned about this black-owned bookstore in Toronto, and their website has a filter for Canadian authors:
