Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

MODERATORS
Oh you inspire me on that last point! I’m now off Instagram because the ratio of grift/ads to friend/following content is a joke. I’ve been off Twitter for ages now, and barely access Reddit either.
I’ve started (but not finished!) my own media server. I have just set up a pi-hole though and it’s pretty great for avoiding internet advert slop on mobile (and other non-desktop devices).
