It's so much easier to comment on Lemmy because it isn't a toxic cesspool waiting to tear you apart (sh.itjust.works)

It feels like people are a lot nicer here than on Twitter and Reddit, and even when people disagree, it's generally civil and not an all-out flame war. Also, there's no algorithm promoting outrage all the time.

For me, the anticipation of toxicity was a huge deterrent for me ever participating in real discussions, but here I feel like I can be myself.

I think it's healthier this way.

Here's the picture in case you want to see it and say nice things. I thought it was worthy.

What a disguished looking dog. Is that a cardigan? Thank you for contributing fellow lemming.

[–] useralreadyexists 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a cardigan with a collard shirt. The way his elbow is propped and the glare he's giving me...one of the luckiest days of my life.

[–] MrsDoyle 5 points 1 year ago

I totally don't see that as a glare - to me it's more like "hey there". Relaxed, bit of eye contact. Lovely.

I think you lost a sylab

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

this is the kinda shit that'll do real numbers here on lemmy

[–] ZombieTheZombieCat 8 points 1 year ago

I love that he even has a nice collared shirt

[–] wanderingmagus 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cute and meme-worthy!

I would like to see more of this dog. Have an upboat.

[–] useralreadyexists 6 points 1 year ago

He is my spirit animal and reddit origin story. A friendly lemmy user suggested I turn him into a meme. He is so worthy of being seen. I parked next to this dog 12 years ago, took this pic, best day ever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

havent used this word in years but all i can think is "this dog has swag"

[–] useralreadyexists 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely cooler than me and most the people I know
