I hope it gets better for you. If you try to remain positive and always make the best choices you can, and expend a good amount of effort, it can get better.
About the decline of society stuff, try to consume less news media. They constantly deliver rage and concern bait because it drives more viewing. Is the world in a tough spot? Yes, always has been and will be, what will stressing about it help? Just make your own life better and do your best for the world.
? I get nothing but good impressions from shit just works users, content and admins.
Great, fuck Meta, fuck Zuck.
I think for most people they have other stuff to worry about, Reddit and its alternatives aren’t that important for them. If there is an alternative placed before them that is enticing, they’ll use it. Maybe as “first movers” or early adopters it falls on us to make the place more appealing.
Also you never know, those same people might be fighting other fights in other places (offline, for example)
Finally, my laziness paid off (didn’t update from 17.3 yet) !
