I’m sorry if my subjective comment offended you. I do like the fediverse, and I did highlight that I’m happy to help improve lemmy instead of jumping to a different platform. Of course you’re always free to take a single line of my reply and build your argument out of it. Being able to admin an instance to ensure that people dont call each other names and ensuring a space where everyone wants to participate is a great goal to stand behind and not in the least a ya-sayers echo chamber. But of course any ability to admin may also be over used to create just that.

Beehaw is my favorite lemmy instance, its actually the only one with meaningful discussions and lively community. I’m grateful for your time and commitment towards a place where people are nice and have meaningful discussions. You the admins do all the work, you have to make the call. I will come with you but I’m not certain how it will go. If there are easy to use mobile apps and notifications I’ll be more likely to get notified about new content. I just haven’t seen any old school boards that tick all those boxes. So, if I have a vote (which I believe I dont) I vote to stay and rather help you improve the admin tools.

CPI for example likely isn’t being gamed, (I hope). There have been changes to the CPI so whoever made these does have the ability to push it into a certain direction. What I meant was, for a random fluff article I simply pick any of my favorite CPI categories and spin those to suit my main point.

That’s what’s called gaming the statistics. Actual purchasing power has been declining at a significantly higher rate as wages increased the net result being you can buy less stuff for more money. Fluffy articles citing feel good statistics dont matter.

There are different types of mattresses, most of it is personal preference, except for making sure they are all full body so that no house guests accumulate inside. I personally prefer mem foam mix with some other material that makes the mattress just soft enough. As mentioned by others the mattress will not magically fix everything but it can greatly help not to make it worse.
