i haven’t had a microwave since i moved out of my parent’s place. figured id eventually get one when i felt like i needed it, but that still hasn’t happened 5+yrs later

start searching the platform for things you’re interested in and follow people with interesting related posts. after a while you’ve got an actual personal feed

lmfao 100mbps is pretty decent in Canada too.

ive been off facebook for quite a while now but when i was still on it, id unfollowed just about any real-life bullshit and was exclusively engaging in private groups featured around special interests. i ended up doing the same with reddit & a private sub before leaving, i enjoy recognizing usernames.

all this to say: agreed

yes please i really want even more of my already-overpopulated living space consumed by redundant concrete and metal, sounds great!

my heart hurts for your self-esteem, brother

BoJack Horseman, too many times to count by now

ah i was struggling to come up with an answer, but it’s probably still WoW for me too. solidarity, friend

I also don’t know Star Trek lore but it is basically the answer used in The Orville (“matter synthesis”), which I do know is a love letter to Star Trek in general

ideally id be using signal but hardly anyone is willing to use it because most people don’t care. between sms & something owned by meta, for example, im not entirely sure which is less bad

ive had this discussion with a few different people actually, and at least from where im standing, it does seem like sms is making a comeback. i have to admit i prefer it when it comes to messaging people i know irl

I’m actually excited by the idea of smaller communities. After a certain threshold a popular sub becomes more difficult to interact with for me, and I’ve been finding refuge in smaller subs for quite a while now.

So far just about everything here has that feel to it

don’t use twitter, facebook, or instagram, so…

probably working on my alphabet legacy in the sims because im verifiably insane

sidenote, i really love that “enshittification” has more or less become the proper term for this

tbh i’ve been so sick of reddit lately that i’ve been spending time on 4chan again, which is really saying something

hoping the fediverse will put a stop to that lmfao

at this point, i’m really enjoying watching how things play out

agreed actually, ive been feeling progressively less comfortable using reddit for a long while now & all this just reinforces it.

this is what im expecting too, which is why im trying the migration thing rather than just sticking to desktop/browser-only. might as well stay ahead of them

It’s a bit more complicated than what I’m used to but I’m actually really enjoying learning more about how it works. I’ve been largely checked out of all but a handful of obscure subreddits for a while now
