No one reads the articles man. I won’t lie, I’m guilty of it, but it’s mainly cuz Im lazy and go to the comments hoping someone will give a synopsis.

Never said it didn’t, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I’m a liberal person so it doesn’t bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it’s just the truth…

I’ve been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.

Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you’re in for a wild ride!

Also if you’re an American you probably shouldn’t be, because they automatically assume you’re from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don’t care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

Linux is the best OS just don’t get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren’t here, and you’ll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

The comments are slightly more interesting though.

It’s not all that bad though, I’m being a little sarcastic, but only a little…

So that’s why my work laptop is down for the count today. I’m even getting that same error as the thumbnail picture

I wouldn’t go that far, but we could benefit with less of it.

Right like holy shit! I never even knew what the term tankie was till I came to Lemmy.

It’s like some people here want Stalin back in power, but for the whole world.

I appreciate you.

I recommend getting off your high horse.

Honestly, I don’t even know myself. Was very much drunk when I wrote this last night. I’ll keep it up though for a reminder to not get too drunk and write things like this.

No, I don’t, because I remember trying to make attempts at making my own game.

Hence being called RPG Maker.

In 2003 when I was like 17 there wasn’t like a fuckin library of games made in RPG Maker, and if there was, it was only known to the super nerds. Knowing what RPG Maker was in 2003 made you a nerd. If you knew of a library of games for RPG Maker, made you like king of nerds.

I’m envious of your nerdom if you had that access.

I was a “contractor” for JnJ. Which ok, is a different company but it’s the same premise. The reason they contract the work out is so they can avoid giving benefits and cut costs for an essential job. All so when something like this happens they can just pass the buck off to the contracting company saying it’s not their responsibility for the working conditions they set.

I redownload insta like a month ago because I thought fuck it. Other than reels from old friends from highschool, it’s all adds and the same regurgitated memes and stand up comics.

It was creepy that after nearly 4 years of being inactive it knew that I liked golf, and drink too much.

I uexpressly used the official Reddit app and actually enjoyed the app slightly more than 3rd party ones before I deleted it. The 3rd party app nonsense was more of a final straw than really caring about 3rd party apps.

For myself I’ve seen a steady decline in Reddit for the past few years. It went from a cool and quirky community of people, to trolls and ads.

I left Reddit for the same reasons I left Insta and FB, because it wasn’t why I wanted to be there in the first place anymore.

Those apps where there for me to connect with people. Not be sold and have my information be sold.

Reddit was created to share information and have like minded people come together under anonymity, not take my information or having me be sold via ads based off my subs to turn profit.
