Oh no 🤣

Welcome!

Just like reddit, there can be a ton of downers and doomers.

Just ignore them.

Lemmy’s been great for the couple years I’ve been using it.

Thanks, I’ll be alright. Mentally, I think I’m solid enough, so it’s no big deal. Plus, my hobby corners rarely get into emotions or politics

You dropped this: ‽

Usually whenever I do that some angry commie helps me out.

Our interrobang, comrade. :-D

I have three and don’t love any of them. I didn’t pick them myself they just sort of showed up.

Wait… people actually, like do that⁉️

@chessert @miffyhelen I think they misspelled Venmo?

protip: if you want to feel like an absolute genius here, all you have to do is read the actual articles before going to the comments.

1. Read the headline
2. Go to the comments
3. If the comments seem nuanced, read the article

I can’t say it any better, but yeah, pretty much. I compared it to a good replacement that made my life way better. It’s just the best example I have

It’s not a requirement, but whatever leads you to Lemmy will also lead you to Linux. Whether that’s anti-corporatism, anti-capitalism, pro-open-source, just counter-culture, or whatever else. They’re the same side of different coins. (I don’t think this is a real phrase, but it works. They aren’t actually related, but they’re equivalent.)

@onepict yes! it is shocking how people forget that others have different needs, especially men when it comes to certain specific needs such as pads, and tampons 🙄

@baldur I think you should spend a few more seconds when you say your name.

I struggle to hear that clearly, you are too fast! :)

Lovely series of shorts btw

@fedidb
The contrast for elements needs to be higher.

Welcome!

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it

Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll all fix that soon enough!
