My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time

Are you saying the video game complaint isn’t real? You have a solution? 90% of my personal PC use is gaming, otherwise anything I used to use my PC for is done with my phone.

Until Linux can support my entire steam library, I don’t see why I’d bother.

I honestly doubted I’d be able to stay away from reddit. I’ve tried many times before. I’ve deleted 5 major accounts since 2012.

But Lemmy seems to have been the nicotine patch I’ve needed. Haven’t been on Reddit outside google searching for info, which isn’t going away for me personally.

Only thing I actually miss is baseball and my team sub.

Do people think socialists or communists are bothered by this term tankie? It’s like called a white person cracker. It’s not really the effect youre hoping for, I promise.

Well the flip coin is the same. New users coming to a place and using language they feel is natural, and then judging them for not using your own specific terminology is also “A Choice” It’s not up to anyone what other people call things.

Wow that’s awful. I didn’t think I could hate apple anymore than I have been for the last 17 years (I still remember the time my friend tried copying my music collection to is ipod and itunes deleted the entire folder)

While I personally don’t, the difference between this and that is that most people here, together as a community, have decided, again together, that they don’t want to federate with Meta apps because of a long history of privacy and other abuses.

That’s not the same thing as another billionaire pissed off because they are doing exactly what capitalism is “supposed to do”

Do better or die is the whole philosophy no?

People write work emails differently, but I write more like the “don’t” list than the “boss” list in most situations. I also rarely put much thought into it unless it’s an extremely delicate situation. The only problem I have with this post is it’s presumption that your way is the boss way and the other way is somehow inferior.

I don’t read it any differently with or without just. I’m not sure what you mean by apologetic or why that would be a bad thing.

I was 21 in 2008, and I’d been a fan of Ctrl Alt Del since near it’s beginning. I was a huge web comic fan in general, and I got intensely emotionally invested in them, even the silly ones.

This strip hit me exactly as he intended it to. It resonated with me I guess because of my brother and sister in law going through a miscarriage shortly before. Either way, it had a powerful impact on me and I didn’t see this “tonal shift” as a problem. That’s kinda dumb if you ask me, lots and lots of comedies have serious moments.

Anyway, I didn’t know this meme until a few years ago and it always makes me sad. It’s dumb, I know.

I’m super sensitive to negativity, which is why I was always a lurker in reddit, I always got shat on whenever I shared anything, to the point that I’d just delete my account and hide from the internet for a while.
