This is a great resource, thanks for sharing

Sertraline. It’s helped hugely with depression and anxiety, though I think Covid helped with the latter as well. I struggle to feel anything much these days but it’s much better than feeling low and anxious.

I cancelled Netflix a few months ago and that was my only subscription out of the main ones (I currently have a subscription to Nextup which is a comedy streaming platform but that’s it). I haven’t missed it much as there’s not been anything on there that I’ve been keen to watch. If there ever is I’m sure I can find another way to watch it. I find I am using my free channel streaming apps more though (BBC iPlayer/Channel4, etc).

I would do loads of degrees. History, English, Psychology, Politics, Spanish, etc. Having the brain space to focus on learning would be amazing. I did my masters part time while working full time and it was a nightmare. Glad I did it but I couldn’t do my best as I was bogged down in work stuff.

I would also like to learn more languages. I do a bit of Spanish and Danish when I can but I rarely have the mental energy after work.

Travel too. Maybe write a book.

I still think they’re real.

It’s in pockets of Tumblr as well, feels so dystopian. I’m all for language change but this depersonalising of terms like ‘kill’ is just creepy

That’s a thing?!

How is that relevant?

I wasn’t expecting to leave the article having gained so much knowledge about canning

Cat mode?

I think there’s a time and a place for algorithmic feeds. When it comes to Facebook i personally think it makes sense to have a way of filtering the important things first, based on who you interact with. It’s a social network in the definitive sense; we care about some people more than others depending on where in the network they are. However we’ve seen how things go when Facebook use it with pages/news stories (which is really concerning).

For things like Twitter, I want chronological. It’s a real time platform based on sharing information across a larger audience. Its use in breaking news makes timing important. It’s largely gone to shit now because Musk, but in its heyday anyway.

Ideally there should always be a choice, or at least some transparency around how the algorithms work. That way everyone can choose what works for them based on how they use the platform.

While people have made some interesting comments on the downsides of megathreads, I’m glad we have a way of containing the Musk stuff. It gets a bit much.

To people who do have concerns though, if you’re tech minded maybe look at contributing to a way of improving the functionality of Lemmy. It’s in our gift to improve this place so if we can do something about it then we should, rather than passively complain when things aren’t how we want them to be.

You know you’re commenting on it now though right?

I don’t know why Musk just didn’t do it this way instead, rather than wrecking a globally recognised brand.

This will have an impact on journalists who use Twitter to get tips for reporting. Seen some who were concerned this would happen

I would spin off the events and community pages parts into a separate app and close Facebook. I don’t care what people I went to school with are doing or what their kid is up to.

I would also stop the massive data hoarding and go back to basics. Keep what’s necessary only.

The users are having a ‘Crab day’ where everyone gives each other crabs to try and help boost the finances. Will be interesting to see if it has an impact

More folk than you’d think! We had an influx of Reddit folk recently (wasn’t expecting them to be embraced as much as they have been, nice to see)

The main thing I was concerned about is then getting rid of the reverse chronological sorting and they’ve backtracked on that, so hopefully it won’t be completely awful. It did just seem like a weird business memo that the staff were told to put on Tumblr rather than anything user-friendly. Just sounded way too corporate.
