Fediverse

I use the Stealth app downloaded from f-droid. You log in to read Reddit but without a Reddit account so you cannot post (not that I ever want to). I like Reddit for community answers e.g. how to fix stuff like a broken household appliance, advice about a glitch in software, useful things like that. I prefer it to YouTube (which I access via Clipious or similar apps, also on f-droid) unless I need to see a job done to understand the repair method. I enjoy some of the jokes and memes and nonsense posts so its cheap entertainment. And, to be honest, I learn a lot about relationship skills by the AITA or TwoXChromosomes reddits - on the whole, I am impressed by the lucidity and maturity of the reddit 'agony aunt' stuff although there is also a lot of crap which I think of as part of the entertainment - 'my wife had sex with my dad, now I am not sure my kid is mine, would I be over-reacting if I asked for a paternity test?' or 'I came out as a horse and now my kids refuse to visit me, should I cut them out of my will?' sort of written version of the Jeremy Kyle Show (British tabloid t.v. nonsense). What is missing on Reddit or anywhere else is 'positive masculinity' stuff so that is a 'gap in the market' for anyone looking for a project. Not sure I could name a living male role model I respect so maybe that is the reason Reddit feels unhelpful at times - you cannot promote what is not there? Men step up, is the take away message on this. Women cannot carry men's social media activities for them so maybe quite a lot of stuff is dying because men do not make enough effort to keep it going.
