people posting here are going out of their way to post -- and it feels like every thought has more weight or sanctity or meaning when it's being posted here, at the dawn of a new era and the fall of an old.

i'm spending more time actually reading and engaging with every comment, parsing the details and thinking about it, conceptually. versus just looking at garbage all day, garbage with a little bit of fentanyl in to keep you hooked

We may look back in the not-too-distant future and be pretty happy that the angry, bitter, Reddit "thing" happened. An open-sourced, federated model is just healthier than what most of us were satisfied with, before. It took all this to make this mass migration possible.

    I've been trying to quit reddit for literally YEARS so I'm glad this is all going down. Lemmy is like a nice halfway house between reddit and sobriety, gives me a little bit of a hit that I need to get through the day and then I can just live my life without hitting refresh over and over.
