Pretty sure we’re witnessing an AI gaining sentience. Amazing times.

Nothing specific on Lemmy yet, mostly sorting by new or active and scrolling through.

Back on Reddit, I was mostly on hobbyist subs, such as /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/hiking, /r/trucksim and /r/simracing

Hello from your tiny neighbour down south ;)

Feddit.de because Deutschsprachig and I loved Reddit, but would love to see a successfully federated version of it.

Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it’s always nice to be part of a growing community.

You feel like you’re actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.

Thanks! Amazing how far we’ve progressed technologically, but are still stumped and easily misled by crappy headlines.

No, definitely not bothered. But it wasn’t always this way. I was very self-conscious from my teenage years up to the first few years when I started working full-time.

It was only when I started working that I had to learn to deal with it. I was always taking feedback and criticisms very personally and as an introvert, felt extremely down plenty of times.

I taught myself to see things from the perspective and scale of the world - 7 billion people out there, what does it matter that a few people think of what I do, or what I am?

Of course, cutting out social media definitely helped a lot too. I still have my accounts, but have stopped using them actively, at least the ones that expose my personal life.

With social media out of the picture, I was comparing myself to my peers a lot less and spent much more time on productive things instead - learning a new language, skills, picking up new hobbies and all.

It’s not easy, but it is liberating once you figure it out.

I think u/spez should be the first to do an AMA right here on lemmy.

Well, at least there’s closure for the loved ones then.

Definitely number 3. I completely agree that Reddit was great for the niche stuff.

I mean, if not for Reddit, I wouldn’t have organised multiple hiking and backpacking trips, sticking up propaganda posters about kayaking.

So, what’s the key benefit of using it then?

I really can’t wait to see what’s the fallout of Reddit going dark. Does the community really wield the power? Or does Reddit have another ace up its sleeve?

Man, I miss the days of offline multiplayer. Split-screens, one person hogging WASD and the other the arrow keys.

Shit, I’m old.

That makes sense actually. Not a bad idea at all.

The native app is decent, if you haven’t tried any of the other third-party apps.

I joined Reddit back during the Alien Blue days and transitioned over to Apollo when it launched. Using the native app felt like I stumbled onto a porn-addled spyware site with the ads and quirky UI/UX.

It was possible to use after some time, but after a week, I noped out and went back to Apollo.

“Never enhance images for these sites:”

Parkour!

I’d love to see someone code in the actual Comic Sans rather than the awesomely adapted Comic Mono. Indentation be damned!

This is my pile of shit. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Why not add it to a wishlist, then purchase it when it launches, or when it goes on sale?

I have never pre-ordered anything, because it always felt like I would immediately lose my money, but yet I can’t use or have the item I paid for. Maybe it’s just my insecurity when it comes to finances.

It’s certainly fantastic and unprecedented, that different user bases, from very different types of platforms are able to come together and interact from their platforms of choice.

We may be witnessing a disruption right now. I do see more benefits than drawbacks with federated content, but that could just be my very biased point of view.
