  • I feel like Lemmy is on its way and its main benefit is that it’s not as cynical as Reddit to EACH OTHER.

    So many people on reddit gripe about the smallest shit, especially the Steam Deck reddit, that conversations become either you’re with my ideas or you’re against my ideas. Like even though you’re just trying to help others play a game, “I’m insulting you for free because of the way you said lowest fps is 33 with drops down to 29. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” (of course shoving a meme in there because that’s their identity at this point)

    I clearly meant average, but oh here comes -20 comment score when I explain that.

    I see nicer comment chains from people on opposing political sides here even though I know a usual reaction these days would be to tear at each others’ throats. Lemmy isn’t devoid of it, but Jesus at least it isn’t like how Reddit predictably uses a scalpel on your comments to find something to complain about.

    But I think this might be the result of tailoring my experience over time with instances I want to see from and communities. That level of customization is awesome. But it does suck to see so many instance drama things happening in a much more rapid pace than reddit.




  • I would say the pursuit and journey for happiness is the sweet spot. It’s why artists and studios jump right back into some of the hardest processes to go through as they try new things on a new project. After finishing their movie or game, that high of achieving all of those things eventually due down and the question of what happens next settles in.

    Like climbing a mountain. Sure all the enjoyment is at the top, but once you learn to enjoy the grand scheme of the whole process, there lies happiness. Anything could happen, but it doesn’t quite matter because you’re still inspired and driven to climb your mountain.






  • I view it as like 2 different movie theaters showing the same movie with one of them streaming it from the other, but then we all get to experience it together as if one big audience live chatting each other. Maybe not a movie analogy.

    2 different worlds and their people say hi then start sharing their content and communities with each other. Signing up is like choosing a world to start from, but you can leap to see any planet wherever. Just your starting home is always home.
