Australia can and does FYI.

I’ve not blocked anyone here or on Reddit. I have on Mastodon but only becase the 3 people I have blocked are fucking interminably boring not because of any philsophival difference of opinion or they were rude or some shit.

I tend not to engage too much, it is some random on the internet after all. I am old, I’ve been doing this shit from IRL meetups of computer clubs, to BBS’s where I actually personally knew just about everyone from meet ups, then Usenet and IRC opened the world, then fora, then reddit (because Usenet died) now here and Mastodon…

I kibd of agree.with this one, on the other hand reddit is not my circus and those mods are not my monkeys.

Hell, I never understood why anyone worked for free to make the owners richer ? Here I get (and thank you), like an old school BBS but reddit makes zero sense as a mod.

No

Feedly supports OPML though?

I mainly use Feedly because of cross device sync (Android and Forefox). I’ve been using it ever since Google Reader shit the bed

Indeed, started with Pixel ??. The Flold.7 is a fusking shocker.

But thanks for this, it’s really interesting !

So trans communities should keep TERFs around ?

On Mastodon

Instead of hypotheticals, am Auatralian. I (m) retired at 35 and divorced/moved at 45 and lived frugally in a mud brick cabin, off grid (solar and septic) on a dirt road in the bush, for a decade with my new (f) partner, she worked part time 2 days a week, grew lots of our own food, rode our MTBs on fire roads and trails, hiked, kayaked, swam in the river (we could cycle to) on hot days etc etc. Never thought we were missing anything, quite the opposite.

My small untouched share investments compounded hugely. As well as that, I only took 1/2 the dividends to live on, the outer half were reinvested as well,

A series of unfortunate events (aka mega bushfire) saw us buy an apartment in the city near the beach to get our heads stright just before covid lockdown, lived car free there etc , sold that 2 years ago and made a ridiculous profit, bought a place in a small rural village in the back of bumfuck for way less. No flood risk, no bushfire risk and it gets decent rainfall.

Now I have more money then I know what to do with…by that I don’t mean I am a billionaire, I mean living frugally becomes a habit so my shares and income have grown and grown. I now donate 25% of my investmwnt income to charities, 25% is reinvested.and I.use the other 1/2 to live on.

My parter works 4 days a week for 6 months of the year, then has 6 months off completely. She wants her.own independent income etc

My only regret was not being brave enough about retiring earlier. I missed those years of freedom and wing get them.back. Am now 60.

It’s rhyming slang for Yank (Yankee doodle dandy) --> septic tank – > Seppo
