  • I’ve been struck by the same thoughts lately as well, coming from Reddit where I expect hostile attitudes and at times even contributed to it, Lemmy (and to a greater extent, beehaw) is still pretty quiet as far as trolls/haters go, there’s active moderation keeping them at bay when they do show up, and the bulk majority of contributors are friendly and enthusiastic about their topics (rather than the toxic circlejerks of Reddit past.)

    I still use Reddit occasionally. A little bit to scratch my news/social topic itch and for the few communities that haven’t migrated here yet.



  • I’ve seen a lot of sentiment shifting positively for Facebook (I refuse to call it meta) over the past few months and I find it kind of unnerving. Mostly outside of tech/journalism circles. Maybe it’s just that standing next to Twitter, Facebook has looked a lot prettier lately or something but I don’t understand how anyone can forget all the malicious evils Facebook has been and brought onto us. Could the name change have really bamboozled people into giving them a clean slate?

    I’m all in on holding the line against them taking over the fediverse, glad to see the energy and I hope we keep it.





  • I have severe chronic pain, when it’s bad I’m housebound, when it’s good I’m lucky to go out at all. Prior to this happening to me, I was a gigging musician, going to culinary school as well. Spent a large portion of my time since it all started avoiding cooking and music altogether, both of which I’m now occasionally able to enjoy in moderation. I also picked up programming, Linux computing and microcontroller projects, 3d printing, modeling for both animation and CAD, some creative writing, kombucha brewing, even been recording some of my music lately.
