Netflix. Price hikes with lesser content that no one in my house wants to watch. Subcriptions for occasional use stuff been purged since that.

Looking at the witness mark on the wall, i think it originally did

No matter the heat source. Step one needs to be insulating our homes to reduce the requirement for heating and make some work anyway. Especially heat pumps.

Why doesn't the UK gov have a clear strategy for this? Leaving it to the homeowner in a cost of living crisis and with increasing mortgage costs means the vast majority cant do it alone

My boilers on its last legs so had a bit research on HP etc. Would love to fully electricify and get rid of the gas. Basically i need to spend thousands upgrading my insulation etc 1st before i could even think of spending the fortune needed on the HP itself. I don't see how its doable without solar panels and a battery tbh.

In the end its worked out cheaper to install a wood stove in the front room as a stop gap as I get the money together to upgrade everything needed. Which tbh might never happen now all my cash has been drained away to nothing on energy bills and cost of living. Plus mortgage interest rates.

So my glorious vision of a more economical and eco friendly home has seen me turn medieval instead due to crippling finances

We've some similar nefarious influences that would love our media to descend to the full depths of some of the American 'entertainment' news media. But were not quite there yet and its still a fringe atm.

So sitting politicians doing backdoor propaganda still isn't allowed by the watchdog.

Pigs (98%) and bananas (60%) are often quoted examples. Not sure about worms

Seems fine to me. The news ones I'm subsrcibed to means I don't actually miss anything that I found reddit was useful for

[-] Lubricate7931@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

I agree. I've left reddit and ended up here in the fediverse, i wouldn't use official app and hate adverts.

My wife, who's a regular lurker and occasional poster, uses official app and didn't even know any protest was happening as it didn't disturb her little corner. She and those groups will just carry on.

Plenty of us are done and out. But enough will stay for it to 'blow over' as well, as u say

Love reading these personal epilogues at the end of someones reddit journey. This is far better written than mine was. Well done and good luck finding your suitable alternative

Crack on Reddit I'm Done Anyways.

I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I'm done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media 'product' i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.

This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I'm a customer. But have no interest in that. I'm free now.

Think I'll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha
