Yes. F, mid 50s, West Virginia.

The Shire. I’d just live in my Hobbit hole, eat second breakfasts, and take long walks. Peaceful!

Knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross stitch, etc. The work is meditative, and you get in a groove waiting to see what the next row or stitches will look like. Producing an object feels productive, and gives a feeling of accomplishment.

Choose bright colors and fun patterns, and it’s a lot of fun. There are patterns for all interests, so don’t think this is the realm of only little old ladies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What’s the issue with WhatsApp? I thought it was great for privacy.

Try different sorts. Top of day is good for getting different posts, as is new comments.

I think I read that an upgrade of Lemmy off going to change the sort algorithm, so help may be coming.

You would be devastated, but that doesn’t mean everyone would react the same as you would. Your wife will be a better judge of her father’s temperament, and ultimately, it’s her decision. It seems like you’re very focused on convincing her that your way is the “right” way to go about this. I’d encourage you to step back and realize that both paths have potential for harming their relationship. This should be your wife’s to handle.

This whole debacle will end up being a MBA case study in a few years on how not to work with your user community.

You should consider making one here. :)
