I fully understand the difficulty to change habit- I recently quit a game I'd been playing almost daily for a majority of 25+ years, and still feel the desire to log in even though I know I don't like being there any more.

showing me how much the toxicity of the rest of the site had infiltrated r/Blind

Everyone is (rightfully) upset about what's going on there, but all the posts that are basically an echo chamber for being upset about the lack of change got old really fast. Same with the automod post (which I complained about), a constant reminder nothing is changing and moreso a hurdle to make interacting there a more annoying process. As someone that's been immersed in useless "gamer rage" with no follow-through whatsoever, it's sad to see the same thing happening again.

And for all that's been done to set up this community, the "meat" of the sub, non-community members' questions, is still found there. Between that and the growing pains of this site and general fedi integration (I would be here more if I could get it to work properly with/from my Mastodon account), I don't feel like either side is really a great fit for what I was getting out of the experience in the past.

@tymmezinni @NoConfigence2192 from how I understand it while you can follow an instance on one platform from an account on the other they are not really compatible, I’m replying from my mastodon account because I follow the @main community on mastodon and thus can see these comments but have had a hard time locating the posts.

Interesting, my attempt to tag main did something strange, also this is my other account.

@[email protected] @NoConfigence2192 @[email protected] @main Was looking for a tech project to play with anyway so this should be fun...and yes, I am fully aware my idea of fun is a bit weird but it's who I am

@dhamlinmusic @tymmezinni @NoConfigence2192 @main I can read from Mastodon but replying has been up in the air as to whether it works or not.
