    Reddit just looks a mess when I have gone into it.

    It does look a mess on the normal website. I just use an app for it, makes it look a lot cleaner and more usuable. Avoid the official app though. Use Sync, Relay or Slide on Android or use Apollo if you're on an iPhone.

    It's a great resource for almost anything but a lot of the news that makes the front page (before you add your own filters) is very USA-centric since the most popular stuff gets pushed to the top and the majority of users are from the States.

    I don’t want to sound sad but I look at CharlronLife and that’s it. I do check other sites during the day but not until after I’ve got up, taken my son to school, logged onto my computer and had something to eat.

    Once you sign in you only see your chosen feeds. So it can be news and discussion about a TV show you enjoy, different sports, a computer game, whatever you like.

    It has a forum for nearly everything, it's a good resource.

    I browse FB, then CL, then I browse through tons of crap in the FB marketplace, just wondering how someone expects to get £300 for a broken tv etc...

    I hate what my mornings have become.

    I have said before I dislike Facebook from a personal pov and have un-followed most pages and friends. I use it purely to set challenges to one group and to manage my run club (and to keep in touch with those I care about). I'd love to get all my pictures off of it and onto my laptop so I could limit my personal account down even more! Just no idea on how or if it's even possible to get all those thousands of pics off of it.

    Think I may set up a mobile & tablet charging station down stairs so that when I go to bed I don't cram my face into my smart devices til the early hours, it'll also stop me cramming my face into my smart devices first thing in the morning.

    Normally check WatsApp after waking up. Friends start work really early in the mornings so all major news is normally on there.

    Websites:

    BBC News & Sport
    Charlton Life
    Bleacher Report (WWE Section)

    Only use the OS to purchase tickets, or read link sent from the club twitter page.

    People on here will usually provide information and source which saves me hunting for it either on the OS or News Shopper etc.

    Typically CL first, but if I wake up and if I’ve been notified I’ve been sent a message by SparkleEyes1985 on Plenty of Fish, I will check that first. Invariably SparkleEyes1985 is nothing to write home about so I’ll go back to CL

    Then twitter
    Then Guardian/bbc news app

    Here you go, mate - https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467/

    I deactivated Facebook about 2 years ago, been tempted to create another account; I don't like Facebook (I feckin' hate it.) but it's getting to the point where you need an account to log in to public WiFi hotspots, or to check events at the local pub.

    One thing I wish I'd have done before I deactivated my account was dump all my photos; I've realised this year just how important those memories are! I just can't bring myself to log in to be fair.

    What's the fascination with Reddit?

    I've gone on a few times yet not sure about it... Is it just another big Forum like CharltonLife?

    Just about everything instead?

    Yeah, imagine a giant forum with categories ("subreddits") for nearly every conceivable topic and viewpoint there is. I keep an eye on a few work related ones (infosec and programming based), some current affairs ones (politics and news) and hobby ones (motorcycles, lockpicking, sports etc).

    It can be a cracking source of news and discussions, but as it's so bloody big it doesn't feel as personal as the likes of CharltonLife; I couldn't list any usernames of note off the top of my head etc.

    As @Callumcafc says - try out a different app if you want to use it on your phone; I like Boost on Android.
