I’m the opposite. I manage a BAU team and our team are active on slack, and seem to be thriving. We have two webex meetings a week, keep in constant touch and we all love it.

Online communities are more than good enough at the best of times so I don’t see how they can’t work in the professional space.

Ok - but I don’t go to work for a sense of community? I go to work to earn money to survive. My tasks get done, profits are up overall so why do I need to feel engaged and how does being isolated have any negative effect on that?

I recognise that! KFC in Tower Hill, London. One of the filthiest restaurants I’ve been in but holy fuck it’s still the best KFC I’ve had like 5 years later. Also - you Have to pay for the fucking toilet as well.

Icepoles here in Ayrshire, Scotland!

Corporate Memphis is just the worst. I dunno why but it gives me heavy dystopian connotations.

Hardly being pedantic - you’re being correct and I appreciate you letting me know!

And I loved it - he told me to eat it with some whipped cream. Had that and a coffee and I was in heaven.

What the fuck. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic! The mods over there are a bunch of bawbags.

I reported a Fox News post that claimed climate change has no effect on the rise in wildfires. First time ever reporting anything there, and maybe reported a handful of racist comments before that.

Not even an hour later I got the message that I had been permanently banned! Appealed it, they said they’d reviewed the ban and it stands. Fucking laughable!!

Exactly - my mental health has been so much better since leaving Reddit. I noticed that I’m not “doon scrolling” as much on here, and I’m back to looking at shit that interests me instead of being bombarded by depressing shit constantly.

Ahh that makes me feel a bit better at least!

To be honest, as time went by and a few of my subreddits I frequented started to get brigaded by transphobes and fascist bawbags (Scotland and unitedkingdom subs are a great example of this) I stopped participating altogether in them.

I found the casualuk sub and that became pretty much the only place I’d comment/post. It felt like a much closer-knit community and I’d much rather have that than a massive community that may not feel as “homely” if that makes sense.

EDIT - I replied to the wrong post, I’ve not had a coffee yet.
