Why am I not surprised.

The FDA is exactly the opposite of what it was mandated for.

Guess a bunch of people like to see CA dictate to half of all other states.

Authoritarian much?

Yep.

Hahaha

Hour of cardio? Maybe 2!😲

Lol, there's a name for "doing it but I really don't/shouldn't be".

I'm kinda relieved. I too was spending far too much time there. Got a new start here, thing I'm gonna "curate" (ugh, hate that word) my feed to just useful stuff. Block news, politics, emotional tugs, etc. Just "how does this work" kinda stuff.

Good points/explanation about the fragmentation breaking the communication.

Hmm, not sure if we can take any active position toward "fixing", since it's really hard to predict the outcome of our actions. Perhaps this is something that will continue to mature as communities coalesce.

I think I'd still like the ability to build my own in-app filters that aggregate communities. Like you'd do with a podcast app. Then at least (for an individual) you'd see all the posts that you consider related in a single feed/folder/view.

It's definitely not a simple problem.

From the US. Communist was tired 40 years ago. I saw it first hand, by the 70's kids were already getting tired of it, by the 80's the next generation just said "sure gramps".

Yea, you still hear it a little today, but nothing like it used to be.

Nice comparisons. Will add that to my explanations.

Thanks!

Use a different calendar app. I use One Calendar currently.

Also, Calendar Notifications has been a godsend, it allows me to snooze events for predefined or even custom times.

Couldn't we do collections within an app on a per-user basis?

Like I could create a collection of different communities that I see as having some commonality, then it's only a view for me.

But I'm no dev, so take that into consideration.

Hopefully we see it mature this way, and eventually we some primary communities (per subject), with some smaller communities, and the tiny ones just being subsumed by the others.
