I only use Facebook for local community info as I can’t get that anywhere else. My fake profile works wonderful for that.
Most alcoholics use alcohol to run from difficult, unprocessed emotions. I was one of them.
And suddenly everyone was born on Jan 1st, 2000
It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I just can’t look away!
Good luck getting a boomer to setup their own domain. Hell, I’m GenX and I wouldn’t know how to.
I have been trying to work on my attention span ever since quitting Reddit. There’s this great book I’m reading, it has everything in it that I love, I would have been pulled in if this was 20 years ago (yeah, I’m old). But I find I can only handle about 5 minutes or so before I feel that urge for “fresh” information. It sucks!
That is just mind blowing!
It’s very much a nerd/geek environment at the moment. There isn’t much for normies to look at…yet.
I left because of how they treated third party apps devs, Reddit mods, and users. Total disregard and disrespect. Which left me feeling the same.
There is a super active niche subreddit that I miss terribly. There is a Lemmy alternative with 3 subscribers only and a post every 5 days or so. I would love to see it active but me posting there feels the same as just screaming into the void. I know that to grow it I need to be active on it but if I’m the only one there then what is the point? I also don’t want to go to the subreddit and say “hey, check out Lemmy” cause it feels I’ll be sending them to a graveyard for that particular topic.
Wow, I feel so privileged with my cptsd and my partner’s stroke. Suck it losers!
I’ll keep Gmail for any shit I might want to sign up for and use ProtonMail as my serious email account.
You have a great way with words
