Thanks for the input. I have been using Discord for quite a while now, but I am leaning towards Matrix due to the federated nature of it. My only caveat is just how many people would be willing to check it out vs Discord, which seems widely adopted, so it's good to know you'd be open to checking it out as someone who hasn't yet. Appreciate that.

Outside of this, do you use anything that could be considered social media?

I originally had signed up for a few social media platforms in their early days but over time I felt that I wasn't seeing what I thought I wanted to see. As companies started tailoring their algorithms things started to get less relevant to my interests. As a result I left behind those platforms for a couple of years before...

Wow! Yeah Friendster was one I missed. I have definitely noticed a lot of platforms won't even let you browse anymore without an account.

That's understandable about being burned out a bit, I think I'm in the same boat for most traditional social media.

@CynAq Glad to hear ernest didn't leave that feature out on Kbin. I hope I don't have to use it, but it's good that it's there for when it inevitably becomes needed lol.

I PASSED MY COURSE! Time to graduate!

I was sooo worried I wasn't going to make it with my rushed final essay but I did it with a 75% mark! Maybe my course staff are just forgiving? I read the feedback and there were a lot of good points where I could have changed or expanded upon things...It doesn't matter now because I'm graduating in a month. IT'S HAPPENING! I...

Wow, that's a huge accomplishment! Congratulations on passing and getting your degree! It's alright if it took awhile for it to happen. I wish you the best in your job search when it comes time. All the best!

Welcome Guy! Glad you decided to make an account here and joined us. I haven't used Infinity before, ended up using Sync for Reddit (on Android) for many years, but like the rest of them it's on the way out as well.

Welcome to kbin! I think I have kbin mostly figured out, but I'm still learning new stuff daily. If you have any questions I will try my best to help out.
