UBC/Science Advising, and the Academic Calendar (www.reddit.com)
 

What are your experiences with trying to get help through Science Advising/using the Academic Calendar to get answers? Personally I've never used Science Advising and found all of my info through the Academic Calendar. Inspired by the linked reddit post.

Why do you use Lemmy? (lemmy.ca)
 

Title. With the ubc subreddit opening back up again it'll probably be much harder to enough of a network effect going unless we have some coordination with the reddit mods.

Personally I'm trying to transition away from user-hostile software and minimize my exposure to proprietary software in general. The reddit API changes didn't affect me personally but I don't want to support the company by continuing to use it. How about you guys?
