Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

This is actually my second ever comment on Piefed. I'm gradually trying to spend a bit less time on the big centralised social media hubs - I'd like to be less dependent on places like Discord, Reddit, Twitter. So I've joined Mastodon, Piefed, and Matrix. It feels liberating, brings back fond memories of the small web before big social media giants took over.

As for my news this week, I'm entering my second week of a new medication for my anxiety and depression. It's a bit early to say but I've seen some early positive signs that it might be helping, so fingers crossed.
