You have a great way with words

I only use Facebook for local community info as I can’t get that anywhere else. My fake profile works wonderful for that.

Most alcoholics use alcohol to run from difficult, unprocessed emotions. I was one of them.

It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I just can’t look away!

Good luck getting a boomer to setup their own domain. Hell, I’m GenX and I wouldn’t know how to.

I have been trying to work on my attention span ever since quitting Reddit. There’s this great book I’m reading, it has everything in it that I love, I would have been pulled in if this was 20 years ago (yeah, I’m old). But I find I can only handle about 5 minutes or so before I feel that urge for “fresh” information. It sucks!

That is just mind blowing!

It’s very much a nerd/geek environment at the moment. There isn’t much for normies to look at…yet.

I left because of how they treated third party apps devs, Reddit mods, and users. Total disregard and disrespect. Which left me feeling the same.

It’s the whole ritual that makes it so special. How about a tea ceremony?

There is a super active niche subreddit that I miss terribly. There is a Lemmy alternative with 3 subscribers only and a post every 5 days or so. I would love to see it active but me posting there feels the same as just screaming into the void. I know that to grow it I need to be active on it but if I’m the only one there then what is the point? I also don’t want to go to the subreddit and say “hey, check out Lemmy” cause it feels I’ll be sending them to a graveyard for that particular topic.

I wonder why it seems to be a different experience for everyone. Must be instance related, no? I mostly saw Linux, memes, technology and politics before blocking them.

I’ll keep Gmail for any shit I might want to sign up for and use ProtonMail as my serious email account.

Like driving my car. I haven’t got a clue how it all works under the hood but I know enough to get me where I want, when I want.

It made for fascinating reading

Solid advice

A toxic relationship where I kept begging for just one more hit. So glad I’ve found Lemmy.

That’s exactly what it feels like. It’s so refreshing and I like the fact I can scroll for about 30 mins, exhaust my feed and step away. I don’t get sucked in for most of the day like Reddit.
