This comment is going to piss just about everyone off, but tik tok was actually amazing for the couple hours America was banned. That’s not an endorsement of tik tok just an observation.

I left every single western social network because they’re all filled to the brim with angry, asshole people. America has a ton of miserable people that will go out of their way to be rude to others on every social network. I’m sick of that energy.
The only things I use now are Xiaohongshu (Rednote) and Lemmy (my own instance).

Funny enough, this is why I’ve enjoyed Rednote a ton. I’ve found that a lot of western folks are there as a reprieve from how insanely volatile Meta and other platforms have gotten. It’s a different vibe and the platform was specifically built for people to learn and grow together. The audience there very much strives to keep a good vibe and will call out anyone that tries to disrupt that.

Besides a bit of the fediverse, I’m back at reading blogs via RSS. I’ve never stopped using RSS and it’s just so nice.

I used to have a really robust RSS feed but lost it when the service I was using changed. Need to rebuild that.

It’s even more fun when the angry asshole people are mods on the platform!

Thanks! Never thought I’d own a domain with “yachts” in it.
