Just another middle-aged woman seeking refuge from the Reddit-meltdown; and a social outlet.
“Fuck normal. When does normal win a goddamn prize?”

@randomwritings Always a good reminder…

@ryan Yes, I posted daily, really enjoyed my interactions with various sub-groups of humanity, and now…I set up an outpost , a reddit lurker account, but generate zero traffic. no pics no text… I imagine that mine was a fairly common response…

@paultimate14 this has been my experience as well…a huge number of hollow magazines, whose titles reflect the Reddit DNA, but are sadly empty. _I’ve been on kbin, lemmy and Masto since abandoning Reddit, and I wish them all the growth at the expense of the rotten old platforms that they can muster!

@bbplay13 yes, I miss the good parts as well…I used to be able to ask a question on how to repair something and get 20 solid responses in under an hour. There may be a corner of the fediverse that will fill a similar niche, but so far I haven’t found it. I spend most of my time over on Mastodon.social , now, which seems to have more traffic, and maybe more niches. We’ll see. I’m certainly NOT going back to reddit, but I do indeed wish it hadn’t gone so pear-shaped, so quickly.

@Aatube That is really proof that we are living in social media-induced end times. I’m going to go and eat a little cyanide now…

@SamXavia I have accounts on lemmy, kbin and Mastodon.social, and I’ve pretty much settled on the masto. Maybe because I never was a twitter user, it is a slightly novel format for me. Anyway, there are plenty of humans there, so lots to share and engage with…

@yunggwailo That’s good to hear. I nuked my accounts and haven’t been back to that particular dumpster fire.
