My accounts are not anonymous. Not even my Lemmy account is, for example my husband is also a follower of my account here because I want to interact with people I know about the things I see.

But you never know how things turn out with people. You give someone you think is a friend your name on a social platform because you think you could share a meme once in a while, and it turns out they are mentally ill and screenshot all your posts, print them out and decorate their house with them. Creepy af. You make a comment about how some product looks cool and they send it to you in the mail and expect you to be grateful for it even when you don't want it from them and never asked for it. You make one comment that can be vaguely interpreted as being unhappy with your partner like "lol my husband bought cucumbers instead of zucchini" and he will bombard him about how he is about to get dumped for being stupid and how he will replace him. Absolutely mental. But turns out if you block these kinds of people, they just forget you exist. They don't even bother checking if they are blocked because in their head they never did anything wrong so why would they be.

If you're not fat you can just go through the side of the turn thingy sanifair uses for free

I guess you could also just go underneath but that seems even less dignified

Interesting, what brand and how many hours per day do you read?

I thought I would use it to read Wikipedia pages but it turns out I only really read Wikipedia when I am encountering a link on my phone or PC and while I have it set up to sync links I save to the reader, since I want to read the thing right away I'm not gonna bother switching devices. Same with articles, I never find myself switching devices to read one. Maybe it would be different if I had a daily newsletter I'd read on it but I don't use those, while I could use the ones from my library they are always lent out at the times I'd read them.
As for writing, my device is a standard 6 inch one which I'd find too small to write on, as I already own a laptop as well which is simply more ergonomic for writing. I also tried reading manga on it for which android has some great apps, but turns out I don't enjoy manga as a medium at all.
I do love the ereader for actually reading books, it's so comfortable but that's the one feature I could have on any generic one. And like I said, I use it for about 2-3 hours a day and I find myself charging it once a week.

I have an android based ereader and honestly I would buy a cheaper non android one if I had to replace it. I never really use any app besides the reader app and the battery only lasts a few days max. Non android ones last way longer because they have no stuff running in the background. Edit: not a kindle though I'm comparing it to a Tolino / kobo

We all beat him on the first try.

Precisely because blocking here doesn't do anything really. On a different platform the feature made me invisible to the person and it helped reduce their obsession with me massively. Out of sight out of mind is true for a lot of people.

Some stalkers might notice and circumvent, but most won't because in their mind they aren't doing anything wrong so why would they check if they got blocked. But apparently if the solution is not perfect it's not worth doing anything to deter it seems.

A lot of people here never had a stalker and it shows.

Streaming for movies and TV series. The idea was great on paper but there is hardly anything worth watching and the execution is so awful. I did multiple trials for different services and they all sucked. Music streaming however is great, it's not even 2 Eur for one month and the execution is amazing.

It's really interesting how there are quite a few people who don't realize it's only one person posting them. Like yesterday I was talking to someone who complained about 'all the people' posting moths and it was quite funny when he realized it really was just one single user. I guess not many look at the usernames.
