I’m on wefwef as an Apollo replacement. Enjoying it!

I don’t think Reddit is imploding overnight but there seems to be an element of death by a thousand cuts happening. I’ve left and burned out three old usernames and over ten years worth of posts/comments. I’ll still use it to find answers to things but increasingly over the last month the threads are peppered with deleted comments and gaps

Income disparity, communities where education isn’t supported, underfunded education, book burnings, tv/internet/gaming they've all had an impact. Add covid to the mix and burnt out parents and it’s all coming to a head

That’s absolutely horrifying as a parent. Imagine going from a modern country to becoming a war zone to being conquered and your kids being forcibly removed from you? I’d crack up

Yup. Not going to be available so it’s an easy decision for now

OMG no that isn’t mildly irritating that’s insanely annoying….

Tons of games with very little reading involved and people who do video content eg TikTok or YouTube rather than reading posts

Another staple increasing. But this one is a massive issue for families in poverty who rely on it

Autistic son will take any invention that blocks noise so hopefully this becomes something 🙈😂

Fit the first one. Not the other two 😂

Me!

Oh this was an excellent read thanks! Sensible rundown of where we are with justifications

Absolute nut job

By this age we had started reading to him at ‘bedtime’ every night (even though he was still up many times after!) so my recommendation is for the Julia Donaldson lift the flap series: rabbits nap, foxes socks etc. we’ve gone through 2-3 of them between our two kids as they were absolutely beloved and worn to a thread.

Other than that it’s a bit of a blur 😂

I’m on wefwef because it’s a pretty good Apollo version of lemmy. I haven’t opened Reddit since I installed this

Oh man I love this 😂

I find that super interesting. How are side effects? Currently on concerta XL in Ireland and I keep getting tingling in my neck/scalp so considering going to back to investigate different meds

Installed wefwef Saturday. Sunday wiped out two reddit accounts with ten years worth of posting and officially left the platform. In the process realised I had actually stopped posting and was mostly doom scrolling. Very happy with the decision

very interesting to read everyone’s opinion. I’m adult diagnosed AuDHD. I think I’m ok with viewing it as a disability. This is mainly because honestly I thought I was just a terrible person and really bad at functioning in society despite holding down a full time job/getting good grades etc. I was absolutely horrible to myself in my head.

Learning that I’m AuDHD has allowed me to understand my difference and yes disability and to be far kinder to myself

Totally agree. That thing sounded horrendous. This one is oddly reassuring
