  • I don’t feel like contributing for free to some portal run by a private company.

    100%!!! The only thing I did differently was deleting all my usernames. I’m not contributing to all Reddit’s ad tracking, AI training, privacy invading nonsense.

    I still go back to my favorite subs (r/gme_meltdown and r/buttcoin) to read only, but that’s it. Also there’s still tons of active BB boards (not on social media) for all my niche hobbies, soI really don’t have a reason to.

    I’m not participating in that dumpster fire ever again. At best I’ll rip content from Reddit to post here on Lemmy.




  • The problem most people have is their credit, not the mortgage payments. Both my mortgages (I’m not a landlord, but I do airbnb 3 months out of the year) are $1500/month, and most people pay that and more just for rent.

    Nevermind the fact that some people are eligible to buy a home, but think they won’t qualify so they dont try. I was in that group with a credit score of 680, which is acceptable for the first time home owners program. I was accepted, and now I own 2 homes.
