I'm just going to list a few of the features Raddle has that might be useful to you.
Drag and drop images from your desktop: Just drag an image to the submission field to post it!
You can add your pronouns to your user profile by clicking "Edit biography". You have to make at least one comment or post before this setting will be visible to you.
Dark Mode: You can activate it by clicking your username (in desktop mode) or user icon (in mobile mode) to bring up the menu. Raddle also integrates with your system's night mode setting (supported on Windows 10, macOS, iOS, possibly Android and some Linux distros).
The site-wide moderation log shows everything moderators around the site do, for transparency.
Combine forums for a multi-forum view with a '+', for example f/queer+trans
Tag users in a post or comment simply by putting u/ and then their username so they receive a notification. For example: u/ziq - You can also tag multiple users at once like this: u/ziq+emma+mofongo+Tequila_Wolf and see their combined post histories on one page.
RSS Feeds: All the forums have basic RSS support. You can subscribe to a feed in the sidebar of the forum, or just add /new.atom to the end of the forum URL to view the feed in your reader. See more info here.
You can block a forum from appearing on your /all and /featured feeds if you're not interested in the subject matter. Just go to the forum and click "hide this forum" on the sidebar.
Color-blindness support. Raddle's color scheme is designed to be color-blind accessible
See a full list of Raddle's forums by clicking Alphabetical on the /forums page. Alternatively, you can use the search field in the "Forum" pull down menu when you submit a post.
Activating "full width display" mode in your user-settings allows you to stretch the layout to use your whole screen. This comes at the expense of the custom backgrounds on each forum, which will largely be obscured, so it's up to you which mode you prefer.
You can opt to change the site theme under "Preferred theme" in your user settings.
You can override a forum's theme in your user settings if you'd rather use the same theme site-wide. Simply untick "Let forums override preferred theme".
If you want to make a new forum or edit a wiki, you need to be whitelisted. We try to whitelist everyone who comments or posts, but you can request to be whitelisted in f/meta if we missed you somehow. Please don't ask to be whitelisted until you've posted or commented on the site a few times to demonstrate you're not a spammer.
You can control how your front page is sorted in your user settings. If you want Raddle to act as a traditional forum where every new comment 'bumps' a post to the top of the page, use: Front Page > All > Active
You can change your username as many times as you like by going to "My account".
You can click "Linear" on any comment thread to arrange comments by time. The newest comments will display last. Click "Nested" to go back to the default view.
You can send direct messages to other users as long as you've been whitelisted. Simply go to their profile and click "Send message".
All whitelisted users are welcome to contribute to the wiki. You can edit existing submissions or start entirely new pages. The front page of the wiki features entries curated by admins, but the full list of all Raddle wikis can be accessed here. If you make a good wiki, you can message an admin to have it added to the front page.
You can embed images into your posts and comments as long as the images are hosted by raddle. Check out f/raddleimg for some-ready made images you can use, or upload your own. Here's an example: ![dartfrog](https://raddle.me/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png)

Thanks for coming and have fun!
]]>I’ve had no direction in life since high school. There’s nothing in life I desire or want. My only drive is to make my partner feel loved and safe.
Other than that, I cannot see myself as doing anything more than working in minimum wage until our relationship ends somehow and then I hero.
Not a single career path has drawn my interest, all the interests I’ve ever had fizzled out with every burnout I experience. Normally I wouldn’t even care about career shit but my partner had champagne tastes despite both of us having a coors light budget. I want to be able to make enough so we both can get whatever we want and maybe I won’t even want to die anymore
Every time I’ve tried to work full time I end up going insane from the constant cycle that feels to never end and end up walking off my shift and quitting eventually. Finding compatible work for me (I’m autistic, possibly also with ADHD. Only found out recently so I’ve never in my life gotten proper treatment) is exhausting, and finding compatible work that pays well is all but impossible
I can’t keep holding it together. My poor therapist hasn’t heard the end of it in two months. I see no way forward
]]>If you try to do anything a bit on your own- exploratory, not in a corporation, people treat it as though it doesn't exist. It doesn't matter if you proved half of fermat's last theorem, they are gonna start throwing their pre-programmed nudges at you.
Why don't you start your career by working at [ Evilcorp_i ]

]]>I want to be attractive to women, but in a queer way. I just want to be one of the girls, or seen as equal socially. I don't like being related to through gender, even though I often identify with hypermasculine traits.
I like being "dominant" often, but in a queer way, I don't want that to occur through the lense of gender roles, and in fact, that makes me exceedingly uncomfortable. I just want to have my existence be genuinely seen and enjoyed by others. Thus I identify with being a lesbian, being butch, and other such things, as it's the only form of feminine attraction that I can relate too. Healthy and queer.
That leads to me both being attracted to, and hanging out with almost exclusively lesbians. Which also sucks because lesbians are gay haha.
Cishet attraction, at least in the conservative community I grew up in, makes me exceedingly uncomfortable. It feels like there's no community for me and that makes me feel lost at times. There's no identity that I can find that captures my experience in any meaningful way, and thus I identify as a mess, an outsider, or just genderfuck.
I'll wear dresses sometimes, but then try to adjust them to emphasize my masculine traits. And I'll go very hypermasculine sometimes, with stuff to emphasize femininity. I haven't found a community or identity, so the best I have right now is refusing to be identified.
The struggle with identity is reaall, especially when you don't even fit inside the queer categories.

Maria? Barely know her. Seems nice I guess.
Hey everyone at the bus station! This is so strange! Our housemate George had this "weed for sale" sign up in his window for years and our housemate Pedro didn't take it down until now, what's up with that? Pedro is totally trippin!
Drugs are for squares, officer. I don't know anyone who does drugs and if I did I'd certainly report them to you immediately.
Hey everyone! My name is Joe Mitsokolo and I was born on 07/05/1988 in Helsinki. So, let's talk about arson and explosives.
I'm B75584G, at least today. I never take off this helmet. I don't know anything about fire. Why are you trying to talk to me about fire? Get the fuck away from me.
Hi. I'm ArsonEnjoyer666 I insist you explain to everyone in the cafe (and the police from the copshop next door who just popped in for a coffee) why you won't let me distribute this pamphet Kim wrote explaining why she burned down Police Sergeant Peterson's house last night. Please be fully transparent so we can all understand your reasoning. Open communication is super important.
Kim? She was here all night playing cards, officer. Don't know anything about a fire, sounds horrible :(
