How do you remain on track with toddlers onboard?

If only this were true for all.

That one day usually gets occupied with wanting to clean the house or get other chores done so the weekend is available for the family to enjoy together.

Daycare costs cause for reevaluation of need once they hit school age.

Employers also need to have upgrading or continued education built into budgets to allow for that growth as well or at least I’m hopeful they would do that. Understandably you train people to leave is the mantra I’ve heard over and over. But those tend to be the better employers and the good karma comes back to them.

Well, the new user bump has passed!

Thank you for sharing this.

Been thinking a lot about the overall extent of content shared and user types involved in growth or just simple involvement.

What is it that we have found about our habits of use with migrating over from Reddit?

  • Fulfillment of niche topics for informative need without commenting or low participation.

  • Trend analysis on subject.

  • Central point of truth or awareness for a subject.

  • Community sense of belonging to subject.

I come to see new things I follow or to look for help on something. I like having somewhat of an aggregated news feed from several news sources.

I comment on things I feel I can contribute to but while typically not when it’s just an informative share. You get an upvote if it qualifies. Kind of like a RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Communicated and Informed) approach.

R - you get a lengthy comment with possible responses.

A - A comment for follow up. With an upvote.

C - upvote and comment potentially usually a thank you

I - upvote as a thanks

The Corporate Takeover of Canadian News Media Is Accelerating | Jacobin.com

Much like all forms of media… ugh big eat the small eat the independent… twist the arm of the remaining and then turn around and bite that hand that feeds.

We have the internet in it’s broken state and could probably collaborate at a better and faster rate then most media houses.

I’d throw my hat in to start something. Put morals and common sense back into the social construct.

This feels a bit like older internet!

Also an Apollo user coming to Lemmy. It’s been nice to get through my communities in a relatively short time then over to local for anything Canada related. There are a couple communities I know of on other instances but can’t seem to search them off .ca but not to worried about it.
