Hi. I'm a dad. (fedia.io)

This place came up in conversation over the weekend. I'd made a similar thing back when kbin.social existed. It didn't take off at all then, and went down with the ship.

That was well over a year ago now, and the landscape has changed (in oh so many ways). Seems like a good time to jumpstart something like this again, and so ... here I am.

What is it, though?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I do not understand that question.

I think the commenter means "what is this place?". It was my first thought too. Like, what is it for? I am a dad, I have 2 kids - is it for me? Or is it for someone or something else?

Ahh, I see. My fault for thinking it was self-explanatory. From the sidebar:

Dads for a minute for children who need a dad figure

I believe the "start" of this concept was the "Mom for a minute" at reddit. A person (of any age) may feel like they need a parent to talk to, but for whatever reason, their own parents are not a suitable choice. If you're one of those people, and you feel like talking to "a Dad," this would be a good place to find at least one.
