It’s the latter. I told my other half that one bloke had massive domestic violence energy and she told me that they actually found this out after filming. Then you had somebody saying that two contestants had ‘lipsed’ (FML) and then one of the women started picking a fight with Mr DV and then later picked a subsequent fight with her apparently deaf ‘husband’ for not backing her and getting into a fist fight for her.
I actually didn’t hear it tonight but they are all obsessed with the word ‘vulnerable’ too.
And one of the male contestants is about thirty and has a haircut like a year 9. I was informed he is a barber by trade
Edit for clarity - I’d suspect that a deaf person would be disadvantaged in that situation, not casting aspersions on whether or not he is deaf.

There are some sections of Reddit that are absolute cesspits, but it is the only the social media I've really used.
The format is different to say Twitter or Facebook as it's more categorised by category, so there's fewer big personalities with hundreds of thousands of followers, fewer influencers trying to promote stuff.
Plus I can curate my own feed and ignore anything that annoys me. But if I accidentally switch from my own curated feed that mostly consists of pictures of dogs and other cool stuff to "popular" it's horrendous.
I'd be happy enough to lose Reddit as collateral if every other social media could also die.

Agree 100%. I use it a bit more but as you say, I tailor it to my interests. drakeypoos - I am aware of all those. Think my wife is about halfway through. I can stomach about 30 mins of it and then need to get out. |

The problem with Reddit is that you can't have a different opinion to the vast majority, as it gets downvoted. I prefer forums, as you can have a debate about stuff and even if I have shitty opinions, someone can persuade me out of it.

It's useless as a conversation platform (though I'd argue no worse than any other social media platform) but if I want to go and look at pictures of dogs, with a few bits and pieces about music or computer games it's pretty decent.
But opinion wise it definitely forms echo chambers. Though it does seem to have echo chambers for all kinds of views, there isn't a viewpoint that dominates the platform (yet)

Maybe if governments introduced a nationalised service that provided pictures of dogs, the need for private social media companies would evaporate?

I swear AI is running rampant on Reddit, particularly on sewers like ‘AITAH’ and ‘AIO’* The stories are becoming more and more implausible and when I’ve tried to read comments on them a couple of times today it’s got a server error and looks like it’s been deleted. I do wonder what this is all about. Is it just the joy of a troll or getting one over on people? Is it people training AI? Worse is it the AI training itself? *Am I The Ass Hole/Am I Overreacting. The first one I joined voluntarily as a guilty doomscrolling pleasure. The second I have no memory of joining but apparently am a member 😂 I'd probably say over 90% of the posts on those 2 specific subreddits are made up by people looking for attention. They're hilariously OTT and always end with everyone commenting that OP needs to divorce/break up with the individual/disown. It's almost as if most of Reddit hasn't ever been in a relationship or has IRL friends...You know like Reddit seems to have a large amount of people who regularly make 6 figure salaries... |

I messaged him over the weekend as well - no reply as yet.
Hopefully I (we) am (are) worrying about nothing, but still.

Thanks Dougs - that’s going to be the best advice. Tape measure means new kitchen talk or a trip to Ikea for something unpronounceable

Just taken the dressing off my wound this morning. My armpit is officially the worst smelling thing in history.  |

And it is clean. Aah, relief.
Never been told to leave a dressing on for 72 hours before!

I'm currently sat in the car park outside the co-op, placing an online order with the co-op to be delivered this afternoon. What a time to be alive.
