4·2 years agor/NiceVancouver.
25k+ users, we do practically zero moderation. Surprisingly it’s pretty damn civil and great.

26·3 years agoWould be interested in knowing what kind of future projects we’re thinking about?
Other than a potential matrix server, I do not currently have anything in mind. The future is unpredictable.
An example of a non-profit effort that I took on in the past is COVID PPE 3D printing with volunteer community printers. If something like that was needed for pandemic or disaster relief again would be nice to not have to go through the trouble of spinning up a new non-profit.
I think we can definitely work with Canadian Open Source Communication Association. Maybe swap out Communication for Community.

1·3 years agoLemmy.ca is hosted on OVHcloud as they have a Canadian data center. If you’re not specifically looking for a Canadian server, there’s many other options that are priced more attractively.

Do not recommend.

I’ll believe it when I see it

1·3 years agoI’m just curious, any reason everything you post seems to be from the paywalled WinnipegFreePress.com?
I’m getting an uneasy feeling about that.

5·3 years agoIt’s not a massive complaint, but I’d hope “m.lemmy.ca” would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.
Yup. I get what you’re saying now. It doesn’t fit indeed. And yes m.lemmy.ca will be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

Vancouver@lemmy.ca•B.C. transportation minister vows to raise fines, recover repair costs after overpass strike
2·3 years agoAverage amount of on the job training a driver gets when hired is probably half a shift. You’re expected to know and be able to do it without any additional training.
I think that’s totally wrong and bullshit but that’s what’s going on out there. Where I work it’s 4-6 weeks full time for a driver with experience, 6 weeks to 10 weeks or so usually for a new driver, we’ve had at least one do 6 months+. We’re a definite outlier tho and probably do the most on the job training out of any trucking company in BC.

6·3 years agoI’ll keep that in mind, and I’ve just had a realization, we can set up all the donation options and just not “cash out” until we’re determined non-profit status and how we’re going to set up the financial side of it.

2·3 years agoThere will be a huge drop off to drop as part of the transition process to the new admin team we have paused donations at this time.
We’re on the fence if we want to accept further donations before registering as a not-for-profit to avoid any of the funds having to run through my personal bank account.










I run it, summer gets crazy busy in the trucking industry and now I’m on my 3 weeks of holidays in Europe to recover 😅
It was only set up to work for 40 days between incidents because we hadn’t made it over that in forever, then we did, and I was too busy to make more images. The situation has got better so I guess that’s why I felt kind of ok with not keeping up with it.
