I spend some time on Lemmy, obviously, but a lot less than I did on Reddit. It’s been great! I’ve been getting outdoors a lot more with daily walks and weekly hikes. I published a short children’s book a few months ago, and now I’m about 15,000 words into the first draft of an adult scifi novel. I didn’t appreciate how much time I was pissing away. Thanks, u/spez!

American politics seeping into every damn thing. And to top it off, with a clear bias in one direction. I resent having the feeling like there’s an astro-turfing effort going on, even when I agree with whatever stance is being pushed. Reddit is really tainted with that sort of thing.
Hopefully it doesn’t take hold here, or at least stays contained so I can decline subbing to magazines that would pertain. I’d rather not have to swim in the “political party A is evil and political party B is angelic” muck in unrelated magazines.
Subbed and looking forward to an answer with the math explained.
It gets harder and harder to tell what the truth is in this age of disinformation and astro-turfing. It seems like there’s a pretty clear motive for certain interested parties to take the wind out of the sails, so keep your bullshit detector turned on for now.
Edit: Now that I think about it, this probably applies in both directions.
That looks pretty good. I’ve been enjoying Inoreader for a little while, but I might have to take TOR around the block.
Remember when all those boomers were making Facebook posts about how they don’t consent to Facebook doing the things in their terms and conditions?
