Hey! Couldn't agree more, sometimes i'd read through comments and think, 'are any of these not bots?' I'm sure i couldn't actually tell the difference and was just being paranoid, lol!
A few refugees have congregated around lodion's instance, 'Aussie_zone', so keep a check in on the perth community there also. I've subbed to the perthchat community which 'should' mean people on that instance will have an easier time navigating to see what you guys are up to. That is, if i've understood the networking feature of the fediverse correctly! Please tell me if this is incorrect.
I'm subscribed to aussie zone but its also pretty quiet.
I enjoy browsing /r/perth every now and then but I just get a weird feeling from it. Not about bots specifically, its just everyone is so... salty? About either politics, bad drivers, housing.
Lol, i think i just replied to a message from you yesterday on there! :)
True, i's actually talking about Reddit comment sections more generally than r/Perth. But true, it was every couple of weeks a rant about bad drivers would appear. I suppose for the same reason as why radio phone-in hosts always use it as a topic. An easy driver of viewer/listener engagement.
I'm enjoying reading the complaining about mortgages and rent prices though. Feels like a common undercurrent of frustration and anger that permeates us normies.
Its so common. But thats because its a problem that people know isn't being addressed properly. All we're getting is 'Supply side' slogans that don't address the underlying issues. Anyway, i could rant about it for ages also, 😂
I do hear that mortgage interest rates changing should not be affecting rent price changes
