Because any time I've seen somebody subscribe to Hello Fresh they are at a low point in life and nobody wants to be them or take advice from them. My roommate did it probably 3 years ago and for a year he would just stack up the boxes in the kitchen without even throwing away the ice packs.

I put jerboa in the place where I used to have the Sync Pro app mostly just to start coming here out of habit. But a lot of times I end up browsing through chrome because I get a lot of random JSON parse errors in Jerboa. There's a paid app called Fedilab I'm curious about but it doesn't seem to work with Lemmy instances yet, I think it's mostly for Mastodon.
Bill I really think it's time we form a committee to discuss ways to punish people whose life circumstances aren't described in the bible!
