I feel a bit of sadness whenever I see a western name but I also understand why people do that. I am also very proud to have a Vietnamese first name and no english name. But unfortunately it also means not a lot of people spell my name correctly so even getting a coffee is sometimes amusing.

I think it’s just a consequence of growing up in a different country. I think things are better now than they were 20-30 years ago and I am noticing more people using their names in their native language instead of a western name.

Hello, nice to meet you all. I am Vietnamese, born and raised in Canada. It is nice to meet with other folks and share. There is a struggle for us to retain our culture and language and I feel a deep calling to try to pass it down, whatever I can. I feel really lucky to have grown in a household that spoke only Vietnamese so I am fluent. I know my other friends struggle a lot with their language and culture.

So I’ve started to teach Vietnamese at my local temple (mostly for the benefit of my daughter). And I will do whatever I can to grow our roots here in Canada.

I hope this community grows and we can all share in our journey together.

Yeah it’s really unfortunate. I think having no communication makes it worse. If the developer would just say something, it would be a lot better. I hope they are doing well at least though. Sync has been such a wonderful app for so many years and I’ve used it since the reddit days as well.

Summit is also great too. Sometimes I will use it instead of Voyager/Boost. In the end there are a lot of decent and usable apps at least. It’s a shame Sync is no longer viable.

I’m a fan of Voyager and Boost.

It’s time to move on. This app has been abandoned without a word from the developer.

They need to price this properly and all will be fine.

Wow awesome!

Thank you for updating with these front ends. It really helps provide some nice front end experiences for both Lemmy/Piefed. Been using photon for awhile with piefed but will give blorp a spin too.

Thanks again for everything you guys are doing for us.

Haven’t had a chance to try C.Viper out yet but it’s been fun watching Punk play her.

Thanks!

Just picked them up 👍

Wish you guys all the best. You’re both winning no matter what.

There are so many nice 3rd party controllers that are offering TMR and Hall effect joysticks. It’s really disappointing to see the first party controllers not offering these things.

Mass Effect.

Might need to have a general strike to support the teachers.

What an absolute clown show this province is. It breaks my heart, honestly.

So frustrating to witness this. This provincial government is a clown show.

She’s the worst.

This is the way!

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Well that sucks. At this point all of our information is randomly out there. It’s really unfortunate.

Yes. This has been great. So I consider them part of Mastodon even if it’s a bit unofficial.

They should really get off X and join either Bsky or Mastodon officially though.

Keep fighting the good fight America.

Keep fighting Americans.

Also I love that Star Trek quote.
