Honestly, people committed to plans in a way they don’t now. I rarely had last minute cancellations when I was younger. Time might have been cut short or something, but people showed up. Changes of plans happened well in advance. Occasionally, I got stood up, but it was rare.
Now, I’d say probably 20-30% of the time, plans get changed last minute or more rarely, somebody bails.
Absolutely not. I dislike how much of my data I gave them over the years that I used Facebook. Don’t want to start giving them that data again.
I got so much abuse posting on reddit that I almost entirely stopped posting content, preferring just to comment. It’s going to take me a long time to unlearn that hesitation.
Agreed. And, so far, the mood is better here abs comments are much higher quality. I’ve been using normal forums again for the past few months and I’ve grown to like smaller communities.
This will be how I use it as well. Reddit usually tends to have the most concise, up-to-date answers for a lot of questions that I have about most my hobbies. Especially video games.
That will hopefully change, but it was such a good way to basically guarantee I found the information I actually wanted.
I sympathize. This kept me on Facebook far longer than I wanted to be. If I wanted concert dates, event invites from friends, etc, I had to use it. I cut that cord eventually, but I get invited to way less stuff than I used to.
