  • Hey, I totally agree with you.

    The concept behind these apps is fine, even helpful. I’ve used these types of apps when I’ve been unwell and couldn’t get to the shops. I’m not forgetting people who are disabled. I don’t own a car.

    I agree, an app that provided a similar service that took care of its employees would be fine. An app that provided a similar service without jacking the prices up massively and pushing junk food would be great.

    I know and agree with you that the poor treatment and underpayment of workers is a problem.

    Yes, of course your alternative app would be worth supporting.

    We do not seem to be in any disagreement here.




  • While I think these apps are exploitative on both sides (exploiting laziness/convenience and exploiting workers), I think implying that people who use delivery services are racist, classist, or both, is a very “internet” thing to do.

    Perhaps it would be healthy if OP went outside for Christmas. A little walk in the real world, as opposed to Lemmy or Twitter or Bluesky, might help rebalance things.


  • Where would Mort Garson’s Mother Earth’s Plantasia fit on here? I want to say something like “Meadowcore” but that’s not on the list and Plantasia is certainly not befitting of a punk suffix. Core also feels a bit clunky for it. I like “Treewave”, maybe it’d fit there? Oh, or “Gardencore” would make the most sense I suppose given the concept of the album
