Don’t say, “I can’t wait.” It’s OK to be excited for something but not to wish away all the moments between then and now. Each one is precious.
I picked that up a few years ago from a Buddhist book. It helped me with so many aspects of life.

I really hated when “maybe it’s Maybelline” was popular on Reddit a few years ago. Never made sense to me that anyone would find any value in somebody repeating a dumb corporate tagline.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s good to hear there wasn’t a lot going on because, honestly, coming here from Reddit feels a bit like participating in some sort of digital gentrification.
Are you gonna have contraband shoved up your anus?
OP could get constipated by doing a bunch of opioids. Obviously not recommended.
You’re right. The fediverse is definitely in a better position to ward off the suck.
By now, we’ve all been around the internet long enough to know that good things never last. That’s really life: Everything’s impermanent. Lemmy will probably suck someday, as will much of the fediverse. But I’m grateful it’s good right now and for the foreseeable future.
I feel you completely. I spend most of my free time with my family, hiking or paddling, or reading books. It’s nice to have places online to burn some time, but I’d sooner give it up than be forced into some corporate playground. The past 15-20 years have shown that it just doesn’t work.
Jeez. I’m sorry someone said that to you. Fucked up.
This brings up a good question: Do we really want everyone we can get?
On one hand, it’d help flesh out fledgling communities and keep threads and feeds more active.
On the other hand, the more people who come here, the more likely we are to see lower-effort, lower-value, and even counterproductive content and comments.
There’s probably some magic number, an adoption level where communities thrive but are not watered down. I have no idea what that is, though.
