I love how thoughtful everything feels on lemmy (self.lemmyworld)

people posting here are going out of their way to post -- and it feels like every thought has more weight or sanctity or meaning when it's being posted here, at the dawn of a new era and the fall of an old.

i'm spending more time actually reading and engaging with every comment, parsing the details and thinking about it, conceptually. versus just looking at garbage all day, garbage with a little bit of fentanyl in to keep you hooked

Agreed, it all feels a lot more human and natural. Though I will be glad when this Reddit thing calms down, at the minute we sound a bit like bitter angry ex-partners what with so many posts about it. It's to be expected I know, but once the community has let go of the past we can build a better future, I'm optimistic about that bit!

We may look back in the not-too-distant future and be pretty happy that the angry, bitter, Reddit "thing" happened. An open-sourced, federated model is just healthier than what most of us were satisfied with, before. It took all this to make this mass migration possible.

I've been trying to quit reddit for literally YEARS so I'm glad this is all going down. Lemmy is like a nice halfway house between reddit and sobriety, gives me a little bit of a hit that I need to get through the day and then I can just live my life without hitting refresh over and over.

At some point in the last year reddit hit this critical mass of toxicity that just makes the switch that much easier. To everyone saying that Lemmy is too complicated for mass adoption I say GOOD. The more barriers to that the better.
