  • I occasionally open RiF (logged out) and get to see the current “front page” that for everyone (no longer catered to me), and with all the subreddits that have stayed private, been banned, etc. all sorts of weird posts are surfacing to the top for everyone.

    First of all, I see tons of subreddits I have no interest in, all about judgment of OP’s looks (/r/amiugly, /r/truerateme, /r/firstimpressions, /r/roastme, etc.), and I keep seeing /r/weddingdress posts trying to help people pick their wedding dress from multiple options. Such a hodge podge of disjointed and niche posts that certainly doesn’t feel like the broad “front page of the internet” anymore.


  • This is a good recommendation.
    When I was out of college for a while, I ended up meeting like-minded friends at a monthly retro-gaming tournament/event that was held at a local book/game store. We actually ended up working on some creative projects together as we all had schooling/degrees/experience in video production, writing, and comedy. That opened up the doors to meeting a much larger group of people in the local acting and stand-up comedy scene, as well as other creative fields. So now I have a nice group of friends that I’ve made as an adult, in a variety of friend circles all b/c I decided to check out some regular events at hobby shops.
