I think it’s worth mentioning for folks new here that there is no “algorithm” as people typically think of with sites like Facebook and Twitter. There are no levers or dials being adjusted behind the scenes, just upvote counts and comments pushing content to the top.
I’m the opposite and I can’t tell if all my friends are OP or if they just don’t like me enough to reach out first.
I’ve currently got two vintage contractor saws sitting in my garage: a Craftsman 113 and a Powermatic 63. Both have beautiful cast iron tops and both have misaligned blades that I’ve spent hours trying to fix. I have PALS installed on both and for the life of me I can’t get the trunnion aligned properly. (Yes, this is a cry for help. plz help)
I suppose it depends on your budget. I’m not sure yet whether it’s BIFL material as I’ve only had it for a month now, but the Timemore C2 has been very pleasantly surprising. It feels well made and grinds evenly. It’s all metal so if cared for should last a long time.
As a web developer who feels fairly knowledgeable of most things web, even I have a hard time wrapping my head around the Fediverse, how to use it, and the broader implications. If the folks that have been using it for more than the past week and a half do anything but inform and encourage, it will just drive away the people needed most to bring about widespread adoption.
