Reddit CEO defiant as moderator strike shutters thousands of forums: 'We made a business decision that we’re not negotiating on'

Reply in thread

I agree. I've left reddit and ended up here in the fediverse, i wouldn't use official app and hate adverts.

My wife, who's a regular lurker and occasional poster, uses official app and didn't even know any protest was happening as it didn't disturb her little corner. She and those groups will just carry on.

Plenty of us are done and out. But enough will stay for it to 'blow over' as well, as u say

UK installations of heat pumps 10 times lower than in France, report finds

Reply in thread

My boilers on its last legs so had a bit research on HP etc. Would love to fully electricify and get rid of the gas. Basically i need to spend thousands upgrading my insulation etc 1st before i could even think of spending the fortune needed on the HP itself. I don't see how its doable without solar panels and a battery tbh.

In the end its worked out cheaper to install a wood stove in the front room as a stop gap as I get the money together to upgrade everything needed. Which tbh might never happen now all my cash has been drained away to nothing on energy bills and cost of living. Plus mortgage interest rates.

So my glorious vision of a more economical and eco friendly home has seen me turn medieval instead due to crippling finances
