My sister wasn't even fully healed by the 12-week mark after her firstborn. Fortunately we live in Canada and have 12 months parental leave at 55% salary and jobs are protected. It's inhumane to force new mothers back to work so soon or basically face unemployment.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. Automatic hand dryers are even worse. Those Dyson V-shaped ones NEVER turn on for me no matter what kind of hand dance I try to perform for it.
Same here. I was surprised how sad/bittersweet it felt to stop using reddit. Like parting ways with an old friend. I check back occasionally, and it's been pretty reassuring to see how much lemmy's content quality and quantity has increased, just as much as reddit's has decreased, since July.
I think OP is counting commenting as being a "participator". I pretty much followed the 90-9-1 rule with my 11 year reddit account (90% lurk, 9% comment, 1% post) and likely will do the same here. I was always very diligent up/downvoting things based on value and reporting violations at reddit though, which I think gets calculated into their engagement metrics, unlike at Lemmy if I am not mistaken.
