I’m sorry if this doesn’t fit but I don’t know where else to talk about this....
I’ve had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and...
i have no idea where to put this but it is oddly captivating
let’s spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier...

It took us three days with breaks in between but we finally finished this giant puzzle. Never underestimate how difficult a thousand pieces could be. It was a really nice offline activity to spend with my partner ♡
this is a fun one. a summary of this argument, for those of you who don’t have the time to read all 3,400 words (which are one-part argument but also one-part history of how this framing of cancer came to be and stuck):...
One of my most active subs on Reddit was /r/MensLib, an open, pro-feminist, trans-inclusive space for people to discuss men’s issues without toxicity and without anger or violence directed at women or men. It was a (mostly) wonderful community that fostered lots of genuine, heartfelt discussion, and it would seem to me that...
Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?
Hadn’t realized how reliant upon Reddit I’d become for news and interesting things until after it turned to shit and I quit it. I’ve rediscovered RSS for ex., using reader apps to scan sources directly and read without all the noise—that actually came from someone’s recommendation here in the comments. I’ve found...
I’ll go first! I wanna move to a ranch in Canada with a boyfriend who can turn into a werewolf, and own some goats and chickens, and we will have a houserule where no-one can purchase disney plus. What about you guys?
I recently got into RSS and I’m trying to discover some feeds. What I honestly don’t like is that some websites that use RSS and post a new article every couple hours. I’m looking for more personal blog type feeds. Personal projects. Posts that have a “soul” in them, if you will. If you have some that you love, share...
Is it really harder to find true, meaningful friendships (not romantic and/or sexual) in more ‘adult’ years or is this an introverts problem? I am quite introverted at first, I would never just start a friendly conversation with a stranger and work friends usually are just work friends. I moved to UK in 2019 and since then I...
Wollte euch zu diesem Artikel fragen, wie Ihr die Anfangszeit des Internets in Erinnerung habt (bin gerade noch zu jung dafür). Wünscht ihr es euch zurück? Und glaubt ihr es kann überhaupt wieder so werden? Würd mich sehr intressieren
I’ve found this site to be a lot better than the alien site, but having looked at the mod log just now I’m still seeing a lot of comments that remind me of the very reasons I left that site. Big ups to the mods and admins for keeping the site clean of that trash though
Not marking this as NSFW because it’s about health, but mods please let me know if you think it should be and I will change it....
I brought everyone together to reminisce over memories and yearbook photographs. We learned where some people went off to and that a couple died, did drugs, became strippers, et cetera. lol It really did feel like we were in high school again, except we were of drinking age. I talked to people that I actually didn’t talk to in...

Here’s how it’ll work:...
It’s the weekend for me, and I’d just love some suggestions. Movies? TV shows? Coffee? Holiday destinations? Software? Apps? Books? Something new to make for dinner? Websites?...
