  Eh… depends on the interpretation of overuse. One person’s excess is another person’s minimal. Different subjects - like ones that require researching - are expected to need more tabs open. It loosely parallels having multiple books splayed open for quick referencing.

  Though, I do feel the number of tabs lately has drastically increased for myself and colleges.

  The decline of good search engines and the AI slopocalypse has made it difficult to find good resources. Let alone, to find it a second time. So a lot of us close the tab only after the related task is completed. Bookmarks are too permanent for one-off tasks (plus, we probably have way too many bookmarks already).

  It’s crazy to hear you’ve been booted for being inactive! It’s not like Discord has a limit on usercount (…do they?). I’ve know people who disappeared for a year+ only to return like normal. Life happens and it’s best to leave the door open for anyone to return someday.

  I also don’t use other social media outside the fediverse. Public discords have always been a gamble. Mods can only do so much to filter out children/assholes. Private discords tend end up in a death spiral of inactivity in my experience. This one sounds like there’s a ton of people, so hopefully it continues to thrive!

  That’s all great to hear, thanks for the details! It’s hard meeting new people these days, so it’s great this type of post was allowed by the admins.

  Thanks for sharing! Definitely nice to find mature corners of the internet. I’m excited to check it out later!

  Do you have a rough idea about the demographics? Most places I find are still 90% men. Not saying anything is inherity wrong with that, but the vibes are different. It’s easy to feel “other’d” if you’re not “one of the bros.” I wish more places had an even split with women/nonbinary folks.

  This makes me curious if there's a study focused on the effectiveness of job listings with these buzz words vs without. I wonder if more people would apply or if people actually buy into these phrases.
