Except for when you do.

Have you been in a school recently?

I think it might be kind of nice to be Tom Hanks and have the name WilsonsOnlyFriend@lemmy.world and just chat and chill.

I don’t work in tech and I’m not a video game player. Am i a normie? I stay on Facebook because of the things you mentioned - i want to know how my old aunt is doing, get the link to my cousin’s music performances, see what play or concert is showing this weekend, and post to my neighborhood when my dogs escape. I only used Twitter to follow local bars, restaurants, and music venues for happy hours and event info. That kinda died with covid so i closed my Twitter account. I don’t really understand influencers. I’d love to see more local content here but I’m not sure we have the people to support it. I guess the way to start is to share the local info i get from Facebook to the Texas and dfw communities here, but that doesn’t draw more people. Among my friends, r/ is sort of made fun of as something their husbands follow for jokes, memes, and boobs.

You could make a different account for each category. Would be kind of clunky having to switch when you want to read each category.

Not a tech nerd or privacy enthusiast -just an old mom who occasionally shitcomments. I like it here.

She made it to work on time. Should have ubered though.

He says real shit, then adds, " I’m joking. Remember that when the news reports on things I say. It’s not real. Unless it is."

There’s so much legal weed available online… People are stupid. Stoned people are stupider.

I know mastodon is very popular and I’ve browsed around a few times, but i don’t really get it. It’s person following instead of topic following, right? I had a Twitter account, but i only followed local bars, music venues, etc. to see upcoming events and happy hours deals. I can’t think of a person i would want to follow.

Most people i know don’t complain a lot about the other places. When i bring up the constant marketing and such, they mostly don’t care. When interacting with people you know on social media there’s an expectation that you follow them, post/respond appropriately, etc. It’s tiring. I would use a different account.

Will you share your name with them? Did you communicate with irl people on the other place?

Most of my friends are fully entrenched in mainstream social media and i don’t think there’s much interest in doing something different. I have a couple of friends and family members who i think are probably here, but we don’t talk about it.

I don’t. When people say, “Do you use r/?” I reply with, “I left it during the blackout.” That usually ends it.

Not oniony, but why are you boomer dogging?

Maybe poster needs to include a brief comment on why the post seems uniony?

I read a review a while back and I think those were actually the highest rated ones. Costco used to have them, which is great because then you can return them for any reason.

We’ve had lots of them. It’s depends on the community but we’re generally older than r/, more female then you think, and slightly to very ‘techie’.

How far (km) is it to your parents? What do you do when the weather is bad? I’m in Dallas. My husband drives 40 miles to work each way and my work is scattered across the city. Shopping is usually stopping someplace with a parking lot on the way home. I would love to live in a city where there was a non-car option. Our public transit is not very efficient and for most people here, biking is just for fun - ‘going for a bike ride’ after work or on the weekend.

That’s not really an option here because of distance, weather, and infrastructure. You could do it, but it would mean riding in a regular traffic lane. It’s more common in urban areas or small towns. We have bike paths in my suburban area, but they’re mostly used for fun (behind houses, around a lake, through a park, …). We sometimes ride to get a coffee or to the library, but it’s mostly a fun afternoon activity, not a quick way to run errands or get to work/school.
