Today felt like the kind of spring day I've waited all winter for! Warm sun, soft breeze, and just enough birdsongs to make the world feel peaceful.

I grabbed a book and walked down to the little park at the end of my street, nothing fancy, just a patch of green with a few old trees. Found a good spot in the shade, leaned back against the trunk, and got lost in the pages for a while.

Every now and then I'd pause just to listen—birds chirping, kids at the school playground in the distance, wind rustling the branches.

Then after a bit, my gf picked me up after she got off work, and we went and had ice cream.

It was a simple day, but honestly, it felt perfect.

Meh, not a fan of this vid. I wanted to like it though!

Interesting note. Thanks for this! :)

I go back and forth with my thoughts on this. I mean, if someone actually started the community, I sorta think it's theirs. But if you just have a bunch of mods, and the original founder is gone, then I think it's the community.

I have very small communities that I mod. And as of now, I am in charge of what goes there and what doesn't because no one posts. If it grew, I'd still like to think I was in charge (under instance admin of course)

I mean are the posters of an instance in charge of the instance or is the admin who set it up?

These are some great points. To be honest, before reading this conversation I was in the group of: “it’s their community, they can do what they want with it. Start your own if you disagree”

After reading about all the 196 stuff, I'm definitely rethinking my views. Thank you!

This is a really good way to look at it.

This is so sweet! Congrats.

My girl is moving in with me this summer. She actually moved to a different state right after we started dating (job-related). But she's worked hard to transfer back here, and it worked.

Hope things are great with you two!
