We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I expect that others are in the same boat and that we’ll see a downturn in consumer purchasing very soon.

Yup, if it's not food, rent, or essential utilities, I'm not buying it. I had several things I was saving up for this year, but nope.

What little spare I have I'm donating instead to my local food bank. Part of why I haven't been very active in the record/cd collection forums lately, I just don't see the opportunity right now.

Right on. That’s admirable you’re also making a priority to donate. I’ve also switched to purchasing as many of my groceries as possible from a local farm coop or road stalls so hopefully less of my money makes it to shitty people.
