The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

I want to fight my friends in the back of a moving truck.
I’m barely six months old, and my parents are putting their entire lives into a few suitcases. This isn’t the first time either of them have moved, and it won’t be the last, but it’s the time...

saw a post lamenting that they miss the old internet but you can still do that stuff! Lots of folks do! You can still use RSS feed readers, they're great! People make personal websites on places like Neocities! Also great! I post the ttrpg forum papercult.club and www.dosgameclub.com and have fun
FWIW this is what I use. It’s just a billion times better for making sure I see posts and articles on websites I follow than hoping I come across it in my social media feed, and the free tier is good enough for most people
