Just like migrating from Reddit to Lemmy it's the same as migrating from Windows to Linux, there's shortcomings and learning curve and the more I use Lemmy the more I hate about Windows, because unlike reddit Lemmy is open source and open source softwares communities is more popular than proprietary communities and people like to shit on them (and I loved it). (Sorry for horrible English)

the 'switched' isn't wrong here, but it's ooky.

switched is wrong. should be "made me switch" where 'made' gets the past tense.

also, using obscure onomatopoetic words like "ooky" while teaching ESL is generally not that helpful lol. how is op supposed to know that it conveys a gross feeling? looks like a typo for 'okay'. that shit ain't gonna be in any dictionary they look up

I also thought it was a typo for okay.
