At risk of oversimplifying, I think you should just post things that interest you and join discussions where you have something worth saying. Sometimes there won’t be any conversation, because the fediverse is relatively small, but conversely you never know when some super niche subject will happen to be someone’s interest, or their area of expertise.

My debt is well-controlled and planned for, so while I could pay it off and save myself some interest, and assuming I can’t just put it in savings or invest it, it’d probably be best spent catching up on non essentials.

Full spare set of tires for the car. Wardrobe stock-up. Extra fancy Christmas presents for friends and family, Some new appliances, or furniture, or computer hardware, maybe pick out a vacation spot and book a hotel stay I’d pre-pay for.

Tip for future: speech recognition can sometimes help you figure out the spelling of a word you only know how to pronounce.

That accounts for some users I guess, there’s probably also some who stumble upon some instance directly and don’t learn about federation until some time after they register

For questions of fact rather than opinion, you’re probably better off asking something like Wikipedia instead of Lemmy.

There is no situation where something is not abusable. doesn’t mean you cannot have that thing. It means you figure out how to improve the consequences for the abuser.

Really showing off your capacity for nuance in that comment

Which, incidentally, is what not bottling it up means.

It’s gotta go somewhere, the tough part is finding an appropriate place that isn’t back at yourself.

Citizens not having guns is not going to stop criminals from having guns

Correlation does not imply causation.

Or maybe, you should take that criticism and have a fair look at yourself and how you can change for the better, instead of immediately overreacting and trying to be a coward and run from your problems.
