Oh, so the subs back open? What's everyone planning on doing? Will we be staying here? Or are we migrating back? :/
Honestly, I'll probably stick around here until I get a firm idea of who's doing what. Apart from my moral and ethical feelings about it all I also feel like Reddits on rocky ground despite things semi returning to normal. Plus I kinda feel like things are a little more intimate here, we can post pictures in the thread, and I've noticed folks interacting a lot more frequently, it's just nice ya know.
Yeah, I'd like to stay here, assuming at least part of the DT follows suit. And yeah I totally get you, and it feels like people are more accepting of disagreements here. I've seen a few semi arguments, but unlike on Reddit, it doesn't seem to devolve into abuse and downvotes. I also appreciate that it feels a little bit more formal here, and I've noticed most people on the DT writing longer responses (which I love, I've always written a lot!)
If you do decide to head back to Reddit, I'd love it if you still popped by every once in a while to say hi and let us lemmings (ha! Get it?) know how you're doing!
I like the reddit interface better. But there are people I like here. So I’m gonna be openly non-monogamous and check both for a while and see what happens. Please be accepting of my sluttiness.
I still check r/nosleep and r/noncredibledefense a few times a day
That's okay! I personally do not want to go back to living on Reddit, and the only way that I will is if the majority of the DT stops posting here. Glad you'll still be around though SC!
I plan on making Melbourne, FL posts to annoy the annoyed over there and to amuse myself, but keep using this for DT
i got downvoted for chanting USA, but i got enough karma for that
My post I put up 10 minutes ago is sitting at 0 but it's a raging war between upvoters and downvoters, with the upvote rate at 50%
I never make posts, I didn't realise you can see stats like that.
hehe
It's dreadful, it would feed my depression something awful, the newspapers were worse
I'm not sure but keeping emotions even probably facilitates recovery from depression, I do know it feels better to not seesaw
It was indeed. For a while I actually kind of felt like I needed the drama and chaos of Karen's screaming at minimum wage cashiers, and idiots tailgating causing accidents. But now that I'm used to it, I kind of appreciate not going "what a fucking tosser" to every single post I see. It's doing wonders for my mental health! (who could've ever predicted being surrounded by constant negativity would screw up your mind?)
I'm here to stay baby 😎
Glad you're staying
I'm staying too. Glad you are
I'm hoping to stay here. Unless Reddit decides to walk back on the 3rd party apps. But tbh... I need to cut down my social media usage anyways.
I personally want to stay here regardless. Tbh I've gotten used to the more clunky and kinda retro feel most lemmy instances have about them. I only plan on returning if the rest of the DT also does (although, I still don't want to)
I feel similarly. I want to stay here, but if everyone decides to move then I'll be screaming into the void.
I’m staying. I’m ⏰🥊 punching
Glad to hear it! We're glad to have you <3
I want to stay here..I like this whole new world type feel.
