  • I chose lemm.ee mostly by chance, but I think that it’s worked out okay for me.

    My impression is that it’s a mostly neutral instance which doesn’t really have a strong agenda, and federates with most other instances. This is definitely what I want, because it gives me access to the most content.

    If there are communities or users I find I have issues with, I can block them myself.




  • I’m trying to swear less. Or rather, to swear only where a swear is warranted.

    My Dad has a habit of interjecting constant cuss words into everything he says, like “I was at the fucking supermarket right and then I’m just trying to find a fucking tin of beans…” and it’s just so unnecessary, to the point where the swears mean nothing because they are just peppered everywhere. I have to keep reminding him, “Dad, please tone it down a little”

    And that’s an easy habit to get into but its exactly what I don’t want to be doing - swearing just as punctuation.

    If a situation calls for a swear then I will swear quite happily, “Ouch, my fucking toe!!” and I’ll use the proper word. There’s no need to find childish swear-alternatives.

    But I don’t want to sound like I can’t even stop it.
