Agreed.
Have to admit that no, haven't used Ryanair since 2019 sorry :(
I'm from Europe so my experiences are mostly from here:
My experience is that if you check in immidiately when you can and being at the airport early enough will be enough to get on. It's usually the late bees that get notified of overbooking issue.
Just check in asap when it becomes available and be at the airport early enough to be at the top of the line during boarding. I always check in 24/48 hours before the flight and have only once been notified of overbooking and possibility of not getting onboard. I immidiately went through security and was waiting for boarding close to the gate - got in.
Edit: also have only once selected seats in advance, didn't do so on Ryanair flight.
And this has a yet another bad side effect: my company has not hired new young workers to train because there is no need - all the retirees keep coming back when they are needed. There is a huge issue with finding a job for young people because there is enough old people working still.
It's also about the barrier of entry. Discord has a barrier, but it is not high. The fact that this platform is their commercial product ensures that issues are minimal (well...). For non tech-savvy people and those who don't have time / don't want to put in time to troubleshoot and figure things out this is the reason they go for these commercial solutions.
Just my observations from trying to switch friends and family over to free open source alternatives. It was a huge hassle to even get people to try out and move to signal, but signal has lowered the barrier quite a bit and now it's stable (was not always as fast and stable as now).
Register for the download if you will use it, this will show support to Mayayo!
Let's hope for another twitter migration wave to mastodon / other fediverse platforms!
There is @Ukraine@kbin.social on kbin with over 500 subscribers but sadly haven't found anything like UkraineWarVideoReport.
Not sure if federation has been fixed on kbin.social yet though.
Edit: federation works again on kbin.social
Edit2: Your prayers have been answered, r/CombatFootage is migrating to !combatfootage@lemmy.world
Good point. I keep forgetting that not everyone just moved here during the protests.
Wait. Why are the memes about the blackout better on twitter than here?! Or have I just not found the good communities for those kind of memes?
