I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder what my second grandfather Charles Midwinter, counsellor for city of Winnipeg for many years, would be saying and what suggestions he would offer.

That last benefit is the best. Instead of driving past the interesting places in your city, you immerse yourself in and interact with them. And you slowly build a whole new mental map of the city. Good for you!

@bsky.app it's way too difficult to add an account to a list. You provide only 1 nonobvious method. If I see an interesting post by a user, I'm given an option to add them to a list… But only to an existing list. Right there at that moment, there needs to be an option to create a new list.
