I said bad actors, not amazing-and-underappreciated-in-their-time actors

I’ll plug my home instance, discuss.online. We’re generally low-key and don’t heavily moderate stuff, but will also respond to bad actors.

You could check with @MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works, who created and runs https://bellobear.com/ (and posts them on Lemmy to !bellobearofficial@lemmy.world)

For good faith questions, I’ve got a few that I’ve been meaning to post to !discuss@discuss.online, we appreciate good discussion. The community’s been a little quiet but I’m going to put some work into it. I do specify “good faith” just because it doesn’t need to become another “here’s my ‘unpopular’ opinion that is actually popular and i want validated” or “here’s why I hate <minority>”. If you’re going to post bad-faith questions, or want to skirt the lines of what’s appropriate, that will make my life harder as admin and that’s considered a bannable offense 🙂

There’s also !AskUSA@discuss.online for US-specific questions. We generally avoid politically-charged topics because there’s better places for those, but questions that aren’t just “Why does Trump suck?” might be a good fit.

Here’s a sample of a few recent popular !AskUSA@discuss.online posts if they pique anyone’s interest:

• Do you rent or own where you live? Is it what you want to be doing?
• Is it a thing in the US to eat other spreads than peanut butter such as (crunchy) chocolate spread on bread?
• Should HOAs be banned?

We welcome new users! We’ve got a signup process to keep out spam, but it’s really basic. You just have to answer 3 questions and not have it be obviously AI slop. We’re generally pretty quick about approving new users, and if we’re not for some reason you can ping me, @jgrim@discuss.online or @lazyguru@discuss.online.

We’ve got a welcome thread to point you in the right direction if you’re new to the discuss.online and/or the Fediverse: https://discuss.online/post/16318079. If chat is your thing, we’ve also got a chatroom at https://matrix.to/#/#online.discuss:discuss.online

Lastly I’ll plug the !AskUSA@discuss.online community that I help mod as well. I just posted the weekly How was your week in the US? thread and asked how many geese everyone thinks they could take on.

The closest you’re going to find is probably the SanDisk Sansa Clip+. It can receive FM, but IIRC no wireless other than that. I don’t think it’s made new any more but you should be able to find it for less than £100 online.
