There was a thread on hackernews a few days ago (maybe even yesterday, time is a construct) where someone shared a screenshot of a pop up ad served to them by the OS itself.

Wtf. Why would anyone willingly use that crap?

Wait until they realize network effects mean people leaving will make their reddit experience worse.

I created a community for Civ on the lemmy.ca instance like two minutes ago!

I’ll miss the Toronto communities too. They were good.

Just joined today! Going to be fun to find new communities to interact with.

Thank you for making a Canadian instance. I became a citizen this month, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

I had a similar issue, turns out the username I’d chosen was too long. After I shortened the name it went through.

Of course if your username was greg that’s not it, but leaving this for anyone else who may find it.

edit: in hindsigh might have been a taken username.
