I know how you feel, reddit felt different from other sites for me because it had so much info nested in a fairly accessible way, there’s so many communities with so much personal lore, discussion and knowledge of such particular things and hobbies.
I’m not sure the direction they’re trying to take reddit will manage to keep that vibrant part of the site alive.
Yeah, having to actually choose a place to go was the main impediment for meto create a mastodon account in the first place. I kept stalling and putting it off, once I did it iwas easy enough. I think a lot of people don’t realise at first you can make other fedaration accounts with the same email and how easy it is.
Except I’m I was not a big twitter user in the first place, so I probably should have started with one of the niche feds first, like star trek or the art one, those would prompt me to interact more.
Same, I just kept instinctively looking for Boost throughout the day to scroll and then catching myself amd going “godamn it, you made accounts in other places a week ago for this! Just go there!”
I got better at it by the end of the day, by tomorrow hopefully I’ll hop here or tildes first instead of mindlessly trying to open reddit first.
I do agree with you, had no idea people disliked Voyager whe. I first watched it, and I overall enjoyed it very much. Yeah, the show has a bunch of out there episodes, but they tried new things and all great star trek shows have their good share of wacky episodes.
It’s not even like it doesn’t have good criticism points, Kes character was very mishandled and her relationship with Neelix was terrible, he becomes a 1000% more likable once she’s gone, and Chakotay whole botched native American heritage disaster… (Which granted, they tried, they just sucked at finding a specialist)
And Tuvix is one of the topics that guarantees a philosophical discussion in any star trek group I’m in without fail. I pretty firmly hate Tuvix, but that’s power.
Honestly, same. Kes is likable from the get go, she just unfortunately treated as a prop most of the time instead of a character, specially for Neelix. I loved Seven, she became one of my favourites in Voyager.
About Chakotay, I don’t know where they could have gone either, he was one of my favourites at first because of the character’s potential and he looked hella cool. I don’t dislike him, but he’s bland, he’s honorable I guess.
I also started making an effort to discover new music to me, no necessarily new music, simply because my tastes shifted quite a bit and I realised it by noticing I almost stopped listening to music. I just started following some very nice YouTube music album channels that introduced me to some great music that I’d never learn about otherwise.
Another thing I didn’t realise I was doing was that I wasn’t keeping up with the artists I enjoyed, I kept listening to the old stuff, but I didn’t listen to the new material to see if liked where they were going.
Thanks for the recipe, I always wanted to try it, but never found a recipe for a small one and I’m not a big sweets person and I don’t have a lot of people I my life that can eat sugar at the moment. I’m gonna try it!
