A friendly place to chat.

No politics please. Don't be a dick.

Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

Anyone else think it's too hot for tea? I really want a cuppa but in this heat it's just not the same.

Agree! I don't know how people do tea in this weather, and I love tea.

Smashing back the bottles of water like no tomorrow.

My wife's away in Corfu this week with her mother, so I took the executive decision to book today off work. Bloody glad I did, because it's glorious.

Got a few bits to do around the house this morning, then I'm going to spend the afternoon in garden, under the gazebo with a series of cold drinks doing a bit of studying.

Precious, precious alone time. Make the most of it!

As someone who now lives on the west coast of Scotland I'm actually enjoying the novelty of a bit of hot dry weather.

I used to dread weather like this when I lived in London though.

I'm on the east coast of Scotland, and it must have rained last night, because it's muggy af outside. I think all the moisture is just evaporating. Walking outside is like going into our bathroom after my eldest has had one of his marathon showers.

Yes, I must admit it has turned a bit humid today. Still beats sideways rain though.

I have been in a discussion with a colleague all day about the API controversy, instead of working. We have been talking about how Lemmy feels like what Reddit once was; a community of people that have interesting discourse around interesting topics, and not just an endless scroll of low effort posts and lower effort comments like 'THIS!', 'AND MY AXE!', or 'I ALSO CHOOSE THIS GUYS DEAD WIFE'.

I think I have been grieving the what Reddit once was for a much longer time than I realised. Lemmy feels like home, one that I haven't haven't been able to visit for years.

My husband has been following a discord channel of each sub going dark like he's watching the races. Chuckling about sub names and citing the user numbers/stats
