Honestly, I'm happy to join if beehaw move on to something like a forum and not-federated. IMO (which may sound selfish to some but) I join beehaw because of the vibe and the rules that I'm happy to follow. I'm not really joining beehaw because I want to use it as a Reddit replacement, but I want to interact with the community. I feel like Beehaw identity doesn't really tie to lemmy or on specific software.

So whatever if it federates or not will not really affect me much. I only speak for myself, of course. For others, it might not be the same case. I feel safe commenting and talking in beehaw own community, so... whatever the decision, maybe I'm happy to stay/follow with beehaw. Thank you for the transparency and hard work you all put into beehaw :)

I have the similar problem like you, So I keep my journal/note/diary on digitally. I'm faster with typing stuff and I have problem with organizing my items, so digital make thing a lot easier to find and organize (or do it later)

I don't find any different in my own feeling when typing diary or writing them. They're equally effective IMO.

My ideal holiday would be somewhere else that I'm far from my computer and with a lot of nature and if possible near ocean or lake or any water really! Especially during summer here (Thailand) is really hot, so I'd love to be near water lol. I also love to stay in motor home and tent rather than in room.

I take note for almost everything from Journaling about my day, keeping information about work, assignment to making some sort of 'wiki' for my personal world building materials. I have ADHD so keeping note help me lifting some burden out of my brain. (Which they tend to forget a lot) I also learn and remember better when I write thing down.

I kind of not settled what I want to stick with yet but I don't think I will find one fit all solution for my needed. Currently I keep all sort of note digitally since it's easier and faster for me to find and access what I need. Currently testing joplin and obsidian!
