Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

I have been in a discussion with a colleague all day about the API controversy, instead of working. We have been talking about how Lemmy feels like what Reddit once was; a community of people that have interesting discourse around interesting topics, and not just an endless scroll of low effort posts and lower effort comments like 'THIS!', 'AND MY AXE!', or 'I ALSO CHOOSE THIS GUYS DEAD WIFE'.

I think I have been grieving the what Reddit once was for a much longer time than I realised. Lemmy feels like home, one that I haven't haven't been able to visit for years.

My husband has been following a discord channel of each sub going dark like he's watching the races. Chuckling about sub names and citing the user numbers/stats

We all learned about a lot of very specific porn subreddits while watching that lol! At least I assume that's where your husband learned about them.
