For us all get anything off our chest, no matter how small. It's cathartic.

What's been needling you this week?

I slipped a disc in my spine a couple of weeks ago and my mobility is still limited and the pain is still bad. Our downstairs neighbour doesn't seem to understand the concept of doorstops and instead he just slams his doors all day over and over again, maybe he's pissed off at me because I stomped on the floor when he was playing loud music at midnight. On top of that there's the bloke next door who has one of the most vile sounding smokers coughs I've ever heard, gets up for work at 4am and sounds like he's wretching, lovely to be woken up by that. Plus the whole building constantly stinks of weed from another downstairs neighbour. Oh and we're on the top floor so it's been a million degrees. Urgh I can't wait to not live in a block of flats anymore...but oh wait mortgage rates are fucked so no house for us yet - if ever. This thread is a good idea, thank you. I was able to talk about happy and positive things in this thread, and then come here and have a good moan.

Geez, that sounds like a lot. Hope you're keeping your head up!

I wasn't aware of those threads. Sounds like some crossover with /c/britishsuccess ...

Aye, you gotta roll with the punches, right? Yeah I felt it was a shame that UKcasual was already made on lemmy.world rather than feddit.uk, so things are quite spread out / there's crossover. That's the nature of the Fediverse though! As I understand it from a comment I saw a while ago UKcasual already had 1k subscribers quite quickly so they didn't want to lose that by deleting the community to move it here.

My first account was over at lemmy.world - that instance was quite large and well known before the Reddit exodus started. I don't really log in over there much anymore - quite a fan of the smaller scale and more localised things here. It's nice to have a reprieve from the 'american culture' that's so prevalent on the internet.

In the end I made an account on both instances too, but mainly because they don't seem to be federating very well. When I view lemmy.world communities from my feddit account stuff is missing and vice versa. So I use my feddit account just for here and my lemmy.world account for all the other crap I wanna follow across the fediverse lol.
