So someone fat fingered my fat finger post and the misplaced post was related to slimming down fat fingers! I love Internet forums! 😝

Haha. My fingers aren’t technically fat. Normal size fingers that sometimes miss what they’re aiming for. Maybe it’s an American slang term for creating typos due to fingers landing on the wrong key? Good reminder of language use in an international platform! 🫣
That’s probably what is happening! Someone else is reporting. Good to know, and I retract my concern. I’m going to edit my post in case someone else is in the same boat. It’s happening a lot on this particular post, so if there is something wrong with this post, maybe someone should address.
Thanks for doing that! Maybe I’ll do the same. I am such a planner, that I worry about creating monsters I can’t control. 🥸
I keep mulling around the idea of a TV sub to discuss the long list of cozy murder shows I love. Most are on Acorn TV or Britbox for US audiences. I don’t mind helping start discussions and contributing, but don’t want to do it alone. Here are my list of favorites (in no order): Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise, Brokenwood Murders, Shakespeare and Hathaway, McCormick and Dodds. There are more!
I think having one sub for this type of show could end up being a good start for more subs if one show starts to dominate, but could stay as a hub for those of us who like them all and want to discuss.
I wouldn’t mind starting, but am sporadic in my online time so would want help. Anyone else interested? Any ideas for making it a fun place to hang out and discuss the odd passion for laughing at (totally fictional) murders?
I’m sad too. I grew up in the early 1970s loving newspapers and oddly loving the classified ad sections (that sounds strange, but reading scattered somewhat classified content still is pleasing to me. That is how my carefully curated Reddit home feed felt.) As newspapers died, I realized that my small metro area had no good written way to interact or hear about local issues. Our local subreddit became my best source.
And I loved reading subs such as /nursing and /medicine and /talesfromyourserver not because I work in those areas, but because they are IRL communities that I count on for my quality of life and hearing their stories helped me empathize with them and (I think) made me a better human.
If I woke up in the middle of the night, I could read something to get my mind off of whatever was running through my head.
Other than paying for my Apollo subscription, making about 25 comments a year, and using the upvote function liberally, I didn’t interact much. My almost 10 year old account is very shy. I was always wary of being attacked or ignored. Oddly, IRL, I’m very apt to dive into any conversation.
I’m tentatively trying to be more interactive here. Smaller groups feel safer.
Ditto! I’m much less self conscious posting here, but have just been busy lately and not felt the energy for posting.
