I felt that way, too. I started enjoying it more again when I started blocking people that I wouldn’t want to interact with, and blocking communities that seem to attract that type of person.

It’s frustrating getting errors that I can’t load a website because I’m in a certain country, and I’m not even in/from that country.

I agree. Shotcut is great, and can do a lot. Openshot looks more simple, but is actually more difficult to use, IMO.

My instance doesn’t have downvotes. Seems fine to me. If a post bothers me that much, I just block whoever made it.

It’s always great to have good friends, regardless of details like gender. The more love in the world, the better. If you and your best friend have known each other since age 12, it sounds like he’s had plenty of time to tell you if he has romantic feelings for you. If he hasn’t, it sounds to me like he’s happy with the kind of relationship you have now.

I use Eternity, too. I tried lots of options, and liked it the best.
