I enjoy Mastodon a lot, had two accounts there since last November. It’s good for just quick casual updates and convos that don’t take much thinking or drain your social battery. My partner is on Pixelfed but I just follow him from Mastodon so that works well.
Recently signed up to Bookwyrm because I was saving way too many scifi book recommendations on here and figured it made sense to organise them somewhere.
I use LinkStack for my content creator alter ego, and am considering getting into PeerTube too, but need to look into that more.
None of my business, but maybe you should focus on what’s causing you to fail in school first. I get that it’s the summer, now, and there’s no classes, but if there’s certain subjects you’re falling behind in, there’s resources online to get caught up in those subjects before the fall. What’s your situation? Maybe I can offer some advice.
You could hold a yard sale and try to sell your stuff, but you should talk to your parents first, because… they might not appreciate that.
Depending on how old you are, there might be businesses offering part time work over the summer. What the age limit for that is, and what additional requirements there are, will vary based on where you live.
Do you have any potentially marketable skills? For example, web development for small businesses is something you could potentially offer that would pay better than yard work and generally be less tiring.
If you’re a high schooler you could always apply for a job at a local business
Provided you’re old enough that is
I’d recommend trying to figure out why you’re failing out of school, school is pretty useful.
Or you could look into picking up a hobby to take up some time with something you could enjoy. Drawing, 3d modeling, writing, reading, cycling, tabletop gaming, photography, etc.
Haven’t deleted rif yet and have been opening the just to check every couple if days. On July 1, I was getting errors (429 I think), then the login page after a couple if days. Earlier, I was seeing posts, but the front page, popular, and all were the same. Also, all the multis I created were gone. Haven’t checked on desktop yet.
I’ve found my Lemmy experience much better, even though many of the subs I was subscribed to haven’t migrated yet. But it’s early days and I have enough patience to see the Fediverse grow.
I still go on old Reddit on desktop. I’ve noticed the quality and variety of posts has declined a little. There are more medium quality memes and reposts. A lot of the big subs that drove the serious engagement have become quieter and not as present on the front page. It’s still busy and the front page refreshes often but it does feel different. Maybe only 10 percent different which isn’t much, but those heavy users that were forced to decrease engagement across a whole lot of subs were responsible for so much of the vibe.
