100% - I didn't realise I was bi for the longest time because of Catholicism. It gets better once you're away from it all

Anyone got recommendations for anything interesting looking?

Being stuck in England is experienced by me as a kind of sad anxiety in the pit of my stomach at all times

I used apollo, but I've not been on it since the protests started. Not going back to Reddit either now

I also use Due - it's become an important part of my every day that reminds me of anything important

I find that I have to be careful and remove things that aren't important to me any more as they change otherwise I can get alarm fatigue and start ignoring reminders though. I suspect that would be true of any system I used, though!

I've been almost exclusively using my steam deck for gaming since I got it.

I did briefly use a linux desktop for gaming, but I got a VR headset and it wasn't well supported at the time so I went back to Windows for that.

I don't think the monetisation of content is inevitable for social media . It's inevitable for companies driven by profit who fully control a platform if that company wants to survive - but there are other ways to structure a community that doesn't rely on centralised platforms run by a business.

I guess we might see if i'm right over the next decade or two. I hope I am.

Ah - I only lurk on there, I don't have an account. I've never felt the need to participate, but that could just be me.

I'm a big fan of lobste.rs - similar structure, different vibe (it had nothing to do with rust, just a coincidence)
