What was you experience like? Did you use the built-in messaging? Did you feel that it respected your data privacy enough?

I’d love to have an alternative to fb marketplace but nothing seems to be as user-friendly to get people using it. I would love to eventually start a server if it is doable for a semi-capable person.

@lisamelton @jwz It is the dumbest shit that *wasn't even a problem* until the 'UX focussed redesign'. This is 101 shit they just get absolutely wrong.

Damnit. I don't qualify for (free) covid shots here in Stockholm. Seasonal flu shot and pneumococcus, those I can get for free. Will be booking sn appointment.
