Same.
Except my -oldest- account was well over 10 years old when the API thing shut down the Baconreader app for good. Joined the squabbles app which imploded when the owner decided to let ‘free speech’ be allowed and it basically turned into a hateful place in about two weeks . Then joined lemme.ee, which got shuttered a few months back. Joined sh.itjustworks annnnd, bam, here I am.

Though I’m only on here for about half hour or so a day due to deciding it was time to have less screen time in my life.

Oh god, yes.
I could type in a question ten years ago and could usually get an answer in the first page or so.

I asked a question yesterday (about floor tiling) and got “Tiles? You want tiles? We’ve got tiles! Get your tiles here!”

“No, I want an answer about flooring.”
“FLOORING? You want flooring? We’ve got flooring! Get your flooring here!”

“Ok, fucking hell. Ok how do I join 2 types of substrate together…”
“MUTHERFUCKING, substrate? You want substrate? We’ve got…”

Then I gave up looking. Maybe it was always like this and I used to be more tenacious looking for answers.
