:I fixed it Andrew. I suggest making friends in your own community if you have not done so already. And possibly blogging if you still want to write online. If you continue your efforts at RationalWiki, you will become more and more like them.  The wiki has a history of malevolent people. And there have been some notable instances of people there who are mentally unstable at that wiki. I found the following article enlightening you might want to read it also: [https://medium.com/the-mission/youre-not-the-average-of-the-five-people-you-surround-yourself-with-f21b817f6e69 You’re NOT The Average Of The Five People You Surround Yourself With].

::Thanks for the interesting read. I actually have made friends in my community; I am trying to curb RW usage. Oh also, not entirely sure how much RW appreciates you stalking their discord. --[[User:Andrew5|Andrew5]] ([[User talk:Andrew5|talk]]) 20:36, December 26, 2021 (EST)

:::If you want to curb your RW usage and realize it is a hindrance in your life, then switch to Wikipedia for a while. Then taper down your Wikipedia usage where you do less and less Wikipedia editing each day. Like set a limit on how much Wikipedia editing you do each day and make it less and less each day until it's gone. I would also recommend learning a new skill or skills.

:::Also, speaking as a person who knows something about web marketing, RationalWiki is currently bleeding inbound links at a fast clip and it also lost some search engine traffic in December (see: [[RationalWiki and web traffic]]). Both of these developments may be a sign of future traffic loss. RationalWiki has 7,000 pages of web content, but not enough editors to keep the content updated. RationalWiki is in a downward spiral that is more concerned with the ideological purity of its editors rather than the quality of its editors. So the future of that wiki is grim. On top of this, the politically left-of-center faction of USA politics in the USA is going to suffer some bruising defeats in 2022 so that might be a demotivator in terms of volunteers. So if you are looking for people to actually read your content in the future, RationalWiki is not a good place to post content.

:::I also have another suggestion that I am doing myself. It involves replacing less profitable activities for more profitable ones. For example, in 2022 I am expanding my work hours and upgrading some skill sets I have. Since you have an interest in writing, perhaps you might want to peruse this list of classic books on how to write better that is located [[User:Conservative/Excellent books on basic skills|HERE]]. I plan on reading some of those books in the next 3-5 years. And now that the pandemic is becoming less lethal [https://www.statnews.com/2021/12/22/omicron-oddity-case-numbers-dont-predict-deaths/ via a less deadly variant], I would like to resume my gym membership in either 2022/2023. In the meantime, it is unfortunately going to be aerobic routines and calisthenics. Plus, I have a book on karate so perhaps that will be more fun (In the past, I was a member of a martial art school. It is a great way to get in shape.).
