I'm all about free use and distribution of all kind of content, but also a big believer of patronage and supporting what actually made a difference in your life (because you learnt from it or just because it brought you enough joy, so to speak). I will definitely chip in!
I like how posts and replies tend to be longer here than in other platforms. It feels more like talking to actual people, and makes Lemmy less noise polluted I would say, so your reply was a very welcomed read!
That's so cool! I've taken care of cabbage loopers three times now, and it's so cool to see them do their thing. My fiancée is not a fan though since both her and the caterpillars love our Swedish ivies lol
