I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, but… does Lemmy want to become Reddit?
A few years ago when I first tried Lemmy, I had a lot of the same criticisms. I had no idea what instance to choose and was agonizing over it, until I saw a comment that said “it doesn’t fucking matter what instance you start with. Just pick a big one and get going.”
After a couple months of browsing and getting familiar, I now have multiple accounts on multiple instances and use a couple of them frequently. I don’t need one single identity on a social media platform, and because karma doesn’t matter, I jump ship on my accounts whenever I want.
At this point, I don’t think I want Reddit users to migrate over to Lemmy. A lot of the problems with Reddit come from their users. Lemmy has a far better culture than Reddit.
The user experience of Lemmy could improve, but there’s an assumption that Lemmy should be a kind of “Reddit killer”, but after a few years of using Lemmy, I could care less about that.
Great question! Music is important to me, but the sound quality isn’t something I fuss over.
I think the right music can entrance any situation, so I like exploring a lot of different genres to see if there’s something I like.
I’m currently trying to build the best Christmas music list (trying to get some of the mainstream stuff mixed in with a bunch of really deep cuts so it’ll keep the list from getting stale through all of December).
Music is art, and some songs can allow the composer to speak directly to your emotions.
Oh dang! I’m actually not playing right now either, but I always get the itch to go back to it around the new year.
If you haven’t tried it, the Ragnarok Origin Mobile game is surprisingly good. It’s not exactly the same, but it hit just the right level of nostalgia that I was looking for.
About 48% of young women who had smartphones by 5 or 6 years old reported having severe suicidal thoughts, compared to 28% of females who had smartphones by 13 or older.
In young men, 31% of those who had smartphones by 5 or 6 years old reported having severe suicidal thoughts and 20% of males who had smartphones by 13 or older reported having severe suicidal thoughts.
Damn, smart phones need to be a controlled substance.
I originally thought it said “Banksy seed pods” and was like “damn, where can’t that dude create art?”
