would love to know, whether anybody can recommend any websites, forums, apps, news outlets etc - i already heard about upscrolled & bluesky, but i wanna know about more potential options
my goal is to connect more with other people/fandoms/artists & to stay updated on whats happening in the world (i feel so bad for having insta deleted rn with all thats going on rn, but i can't go on like this anymore)
