I want to know how you do manage your time to read. At the beginning of the year, I've made a resolution to read more this year but after 3 or 4 months of good reading, I was back to my "old version". Some good practices?

From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.
Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.
