Personally, I am a big fan of ground news. I know that there is some discussion how accurate media biases are but it’s close enough for me and I generally lean towards Reuters and AP reports anyway.

Why not both? I am stoked that some people are getting relief! That said, if we can send billions of dollars to other countries to fund wars, I feel like we can do a little more here at home.

I am fortunate that I am doing okay financially that my loan payments won’t bankrupt me but I know not everyone is in that same position. However if I hadn’t been so close to taking care of other debts before the deferment finally went away things would have gotten uncomfortably right for me and my family.

I am aware that this is a me problem but I feel like with as long as that shit was deferred and with the price gouging that is happening in literally every aspect of life right now I am allowed a little anger towards Biden for not doing more.

Yeah I didn’t really punch it down much, I’ll probably stretch it a little thinner around the edge next time. I haven’t made fresh dough in a while, I’m out of practice.

Nothing fancy, just store made sauce (because I was lazy), cheap pepperoni, some sliced fire roasted jalapeños I had left over from a salsa I made and shredded mozzarella.

Or go create your own community and block any content you don’t want to see there. That’s kind of the beauty of Lemmy, don’t like the content you see? Block the users, unsubscribe from the community, go make your own, or bitch about it publicly in an unproductive post. 🤡

I can’t believe I forgot no poop. My life is a lie!

I suppose it might be, I’ve never looked up the general consensus on the definition before 🤔 To me the doomscroll is just scrolling through all content available until I finally have to acknowledge the real world again.

It all started with this glorious bastard: https://lemmy.one/post/687316

There is a lot to be said for the current UX on the mobile environment when compared to what most of the Reddit refugees are used to. The web app, for me, is a miserable experience and I find the iOS apps are more user friendly even in their infancy. That said, due to how new they are, the apps are still missing key features - they great for browsing but I don’t see that either are able to make new posts as of yet. That means either making due with the web app for all usage or bouncing between the apps and the web. It’s definitely going to hamper people from posting OC, especially because a good portion are likely heavy mobile users.

To clarify, I am not ragging on the devs for the web app or mobile apps, this is a young project by comparison to what most of us are used to and I appreciate all the hard work they are doing. Yes, many former lurkers like myself need to step up the OC game, but the community as a whole needs to be patient and understanding as well. No community will die so long as there is an interest in the subject matter.

Anyways, that’s just my two cents as a former heavy lurking redditfugee.

The only scheduled plans I have right now are my bi-weekly D&D game Friday night. Rest of the weekend will be spent chilling at home unless the wife wants has plans. Given the heat index here over the next few days, any activities will likely be enjoyed in an air conditioned environment 😅

I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).

I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.
