It’s a pain in the ass, but Zelle is accepted a LOT of places now. It usually goes directly through your banking app. IDK if that’s helpful in your situation.

People here are more friendly, more community oriented, and just generally more enjoyable to speak to

This is my biggest take away so far - been here about a week now. I know many ex-redditors probably didn’t use the platform long enough to remember this, but this is how Reddit used to be. I remember when you’d log in and there would be little/no movement in the top posts, it wasn’t the non-stop content it is now. The flip side to that is you could jump in the comments and have fun, amicable discussions with internet strangers. It wasn’t the constant bickering/non-stop arguments or copy/pasted bot fests you get today. Comments would spark entire sub-comment discussions with multiple users going back and forth like a real conversation. It was lovely!

I fuckin like Lemmy man. It’s kinda jank on the app (Jerboa) but it’s in alpha and they’re doing a great job fixing it and making it intuitive. It’s fun to talk in the comments, threads are smaller but the chat is real. I wish there was more content but it’ll come.

Idk man it’s cool I dig it.

Okay, thank you. So what’s with things like the (jam) rule? Is that just people piggy backing off other posts?

I was on reddit for 12+ years and this entire phenomenon missed me somehow. That’s awesome

Sun//Eater by Lorna Shore. It’s been stuck in my head for like three weeks.

On the rare occasion it’s not, it’s replaced by the COMPLETE opposite song Days of Thunder by The Midnight.

Yeah you are! I’m just getting the hang of this fediverse thing, but Mastadon still completely baffles me. I’ve never used Twitter at all, so the fact that there’s like a non-twitter Twitter that does non-twitter things but also twitters kind of breaks my brain, and I can’t have that because I JUST picked this username.

I agree. It’s just the right amount of jank that it’s cute and kind of funny. Not the too much jank where I want to light my phone on fire and throw it screaming into the abyss.

Also it’s only 2mb which is absolutely NUTS
