Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

So far, same. I've been using social media here like it was originally designed, with real social interaction happening lol.
I agree with you, it feels great to have genuine conversions with folks without the constant feed distractions, obvious karma farming, and non-stop ads every few scrolls.
As for the Simpsons, I haven't watched enough to have an opinion yet haha. What are your top recommendations?
Now that you mention it, it is super nice not getting any ads. I'm digging this, I might not go back to the other site.
Even using ad block on most everything, some stuff still leaks through. It's so refreshing once that's all gone, I don't think I can go back either.
The lack of tracking is also nice. I've found it to destroy the performance on my older tablet, and Kbin, while also not entirely lightweight, does run surprisingly well for what is basically a modern social network. It's got some minor issues, but it's fairly usable.
