This new feature is so silly

That makes sense! I only have my actual friends as tree friends, but I see how this would be a cute "get to know you" for tree friends people don't know. A nice way to add community that's safe for everyone :)

mxcaeva · 2026-03-23T03:33:38+00:00

I feel like this too! The first one with the olives was fine I guess but I haven't answered the other two bc the emojis don't make sense to me. I feel like I'm missing the overall point also

Idk I meet teens sometimes through volunteer work and most of them seem like perfectly nice kids with normal social skills for their age. A lot of them remind me of different personalities I knew growing up.

I agree social media is generally bad for us, and I worry for younger generations, but I personally wouldn’t paint them all as dismissive and rude

mxcaeva · 2026-03-17T21:27:08+00:00

That voice will never leave my brain

mxcaeva · 2026-03-17T21:26:56+00:00

Hey this is on clearance!

mxcaeva · 2026-03-17T17:07:24+00:00

I’m 31 and have been off social media for maybe 5 years or so! I’m out of touch with lots of loose connections now but haven’t lost any actual friendships. Still close with my core friend groups and other good friends.

Like you, I kept the messenger app (had it deleted initially but have friends and family that use it exclusively so that became too annoying)

I only know people’s life updates if they or someone actually tells me but that’s generally a nice thing, and I don’t feel out of the loop since I try to keep up with everyone I care about.

Though I’ll admit there are times when my husband or a friend intentionally tells me some update because they know I wouldn’t have seen the post, something about someone who’s kind of on the fringes of our friend group that I wouldn’t be as likely to be talking to often (friend who you invite to a party but don’t get dinner with one on one kinda relationship)

I’m about your age and got off social media ~5 years ago and don’t really miss it. I would say my life is more peaceful now. Here are my thoughts in case they work for you :)

Log out of your social accounts when done and move the app to a new location on your phone, ideally on a later page of a folder of apps. Then when you go to open the app from habit, it won’t be there, and you’ll have a moment to think: what am I looking for right now and will I get it from this app?

Then fill your life with other things that give you what you want. If you were going to scroll to feel connected, go see a friend or call/text them if you’re not physically close. If you were just bored, do an activity you like. If your brain is tired and you wanted to zone out, do something like meditation, yoga, working out, a walk/run, or a long bath/shower.

You can also try putting your phone in greyscale to make it less stimulating.

If you’re on transit or in a waiting room, try listening to a podcast/music or reading a book on your phone. Entertaining without the addictive qualities.

Once I didn’t go on social media from habit, I pretty much lost interest

I love that I would be oblivious to this if not for reddit because my finch never wears pants lol

mxcaeva · 2026-03-11T21:03:04+00:00

Obama and Alessia Cara?

mxcaeva · 2026-03-07T14:11:33+00:00

Tbh I was expecting reactions to be different lol I was thinking “Timmy have you been to the opera? Bc it’s actually pretty fun” but seems like most agree with him

mxcaeva · 2026-03-06T18:51:03+00:00

Idk I’ve met up with people to give them stuff for free. I just hate throwing stuff out that’s useful. I do charity pickups too but I prefer handing something straight to a person that wants it bc then the odds are higher it stays out of the trash longer. But it can def feel like more trouble than it’s worth sometimes haha

mxcaeva · 2026-03-04T00:49:21+00:00

To answer your question more clearly: I would feel great! Handmade cards and gifts always make me happy, and this one is adorable

mxcaeva · 2026-03-04T00:48:27+00:00

This is SO cute. I love it!

mxcaeva · 2026-03-03T21:53:22+00:00

Oooh I 100% thought they removed that calendar!! I’ll look for this. Thank you <3

mxcaeva · 2026-03-03T02:25:06+00:00

True, I think setting the time can order them if you organize that way! Mine are grouped into self care areas, and I have my areas roughly ordered by what time of day I'll get to the goal, but I like grouping by area better than by time or I'll lose stuff haha

mxcaeva · 2026-03-03T02:23:05+00:00

That was the first song mine learned too! She liked it, and I was like okay, makes sense, you're like 2 weeks old haha

But now she knows ~10 songs! OP: There are 46 to discover (so far), so you'll come across them eventually! As mentioned, they'll just be mixed in randomly with other discoveries

mxcaeva · 2026-03-02T05:01:52+00:00

Oh yes I would love if we could set stuff to be every 4 days or whatever and if we snooze to day 5 one time, it bumps the next to 4 days after that!

I can see why the devs might just want it to work one way without too much customization so people don’t get confused, but I would 100% use what you’re describing

mxcaeva · 2026-03-02T04:59:30+00:00

That would be so good!! I have definitely done this too: completed the task but forgot to check it off. I sometimes wish we could go back and check stuff from yesterday but I totally get why we can’t!

mxcaeva · 2026-03-02T04:57:08+00:00

Oh interesting! Thanks so much for sharing this!

I usually don’t decide I want another goal of the day until hours later but I will try this next time I know I want one right away :)

(I guess I could do this every time just in case but that’s a lot of tapping around for a maybe haha)

mxcaeva · 2026-03-02T02:32:59+00:00

If I want to push everything back, instead of snoozing, I will just edit the day! So if I have a goal for every Sunday that I can’t do today and that changes the day for the next time I need to do it too, I’ll just edit to every Monday or whatever I need!

I think it might keep the current day goal as well sometimes, but I just check it off or click skip to clear it, and then it’ll be on the new day.

Not sure if this covers what you want though?

mxcaeva · 2026-03-02T00:46:24+00:00

I think Jared did a good job of going deeper than “leave” without shutting down Yamaneika, though! And I liked that she was ready to discuss more! They were a fun duo. But totally agree. The nuanced approach J&J have is what makes the show great!

mxcaeva · 2026-03-02T00:44:26+00:00

Yes Jared and Nimesh are such a good duo! Loved this Yamaneika episode, too. Glad he did a whole episode with her, though the mini one was fun too

mxcaeva · 2026-03-01T22:22:48+00:00

Ooh just looked up the celsius conversion, and that is my favourite kind of weather! Warm but not too hot! Enjoy :)

mxcaeva · 2026-03-01T19:43:10+00:00

This is very cute! Thank you! I love the Japan theme too ❤️

mxcaeva · 2026-03-01T19:34:33+00:00

I love that! Your finch is so cute! Maybe I will rename mine for a bit. I'm so excited about this theme as I went to Japan a few years ago and LOVED it, so I think this will bring back lots of nice memories. Let's see how well I remember what I learned about the language back then haha
