Hey all,

I've been pretty absent from this community over the summer. Life got a hold of me and I've been pretty busy. In my absence, a bot was made by @Poutinetown that was wonderful and able to post deals which is what I had originally hoped could be done for this community. I've made @Poutinetown a mod so that if I go absent again (I will try not to), at least someone can attempt to keep things going.

I have also reached out to a couple of the admins of this instance in hopes of getting the bot unbanned, since without it, it is a rather quiet community and who REALLY wants to manually post deals? Let's hope that this can be resolved!

You could always make a community here around it :)

 

This is just a community meant for migrators of Reddit to come on over. I have no idea how to mod and get things going, but it would be cool if someone with some knowledge could set up an RSS-Feed or something to get some automated deals posted!

Meanwhile, Canada's housing supply is running thin!

My adblocker keeps tabs of how many trackers it blocked and Reddit was always the highest culprit of trackers. This doesn't surprise me, but I do not have/use facebook,snapchat,tiktok or instagram to compare it to.

Personally, I would consider someone to be active if they log in/post a few times a week. But then if they don't log in for a month, should they be considered inactive? I'm not sure how each instance measures this, and I'm sure it varies from instance to instance.

I take good care of my chargers, and I have never had a single one break. I really only plug my device in before bed.

Set a realistic threat level that meets your balance of privacy/convienience and stick to it. I know it is easier said than done, but once you start to get used to it, then you can think about making slight adjustments to better your privacy here and there. If you try to go full privacy right off the bat, you are going to get frustrated.

Start with changing 1-2 things at a time and go from there. Perhaps just change your browser/settings and your email. Adjust from there after a few months

First off, congrats on being clean! Such a huge accomplishment! I'm going to ask a few questions: -How did you start? -What was your rock bottom moment? -What was the convincing factor that made you get clean?
