People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

Contingent on fiber internet and having a four-wheeel-drive vehicle, yes.

Snow's a bitch and so is DSL. Other than that, the solitude would be rad.

The DSL thing is a bit of a myth nowadays. The rural area around where I live has better internet than the city.

I have a feeling the reason the internet is so good in MS is because they are more concerned with doing literally anything else besides giving us drinkable tap water.

And, you know, there's a whole planet that exists outside of the US...

Just like the areas that exist outside your little rural area. It's almost like either of us shouldn't make blanket statements.

Except that acknowledging that the world exists doesn't constitute a blanket statement...

I have starlink. Better internet than I ever had in town. We should be getting fiber any day now too.
