  • I was on Artemis and then Jerboa and now Thunder (probably a few others in between).

    Artemis was going to be great but is no more, sadly.

    Jerboa I just couldn’t like. I think my biggest issue when I was using it was you could only search for community names? I can’t remember exactly I just remember the difficulty searching was the last straw for me.

    Thunder is great. I don’t think I have any complaints. It works as I need it to and probably has a bunch of features that I don’t use. It’s pretty new still so I’m trying not to get too attached lol but it’s updated pretty regularly, commenting works well, it allows you to preview before posting. Search seems to work great. I guess the only issue is the delay in notifications? Not really an issue for me but I guess if you’re having a more immediate conversation in the comments it might be.



  • Yeah, if you mean laps etc it’ll be when I can move up to more intense stuff. Right now I can basically sit and float around.

    Right now the exercises I do feel like I’m doing nothing (until later, then I’m exhausted for days). It’s frustrating because before all of this happened I was doing a lot of incline and strength training, which I can’t do anymore. The exercises I’m able to do now basically amount to a few flutter-like moves and some shoulder work. Even that was too much this week so going to have to tell my trainer we have to pull back even further.


  • Unfortunately many of those “exercise people” this tweet is referring to do not take any disabilities into consideration. I can’t tell you how many people have told me to just “go for a walk” when my disabilities require me to do specific exercises from a horizontal position. At some point I might be able to do slightly more intense recumbent stuff (very slow, low resistance cycling) but walking/running will unfortunately never be something that helps me. And don’t get me started on the HIIT fad. I would die lol (not joking though)
