It feels like people are genuinely excited to be part of the community, which is something I haven’t felt from reddit in years. I really hope that’s able to stick around in one form or another. The community makes the site fun. I don’t think reddit has been “fun” for a while, it’s just been a content-firehose to the face, and it’s nice to not be drowned by it.

But also I’m bored and don’t know what to do with the internet anymore lol

I think the apartment owner can give permission, but only if they’ve given proper notice to the tenant. Most states I believe require 24-48 hours prior notice, except in the case of an emergency. I’m not sure what would constitute a legally valid vampire-emergency, but as long as the landlord properly notifies the tenant in advance I believe they could.
