Hey it’s me! Your high school friend who never addressed their insecurities and made their entire life about how they don’t live somewhere and what restaurants they eat at.

Anyway, here’s an article about how I perceive everything as racist so I can continue feeling superior to everyone

I left Reddit because of the API changes

I left Lemmy because it’s full of terrible memes and content

CREAM

Ruled?

This is honestly amazing and I cannot believe this hasn’t blown up yet. It is so close to the Apollo experience that I now have zero reason to stay on Reddit.

Maybe all of those in favor of the protests kept their word and only those who are against it remain?

People are ADDICTED to Reddit. So much so that they are using Reddit as their primary resource to talk about how much they hate it.

Once the craziness around the API stuff dies down and it’s time to stop using Reddit for good, I’m willing to bet nearly all of these people cave in some way.

I like it, but it CONSTANTLY crashes for me. Every single time

I really hope this doesn’t lead to people forming their own echo chambers and instances become tribes who hate on each other

I think the major turning point was around 2016. That’s the first time I began to feel like my guard needed to be up with every single comment from there on.

This is interesting. I had no idea this was a thing!

I think you’re right. It seems like there’s a pattern for every new platform.

Early adopters make the the site fun, valuable, and worth while

People start to notice and the platform grows, becoming slightly worse, but still pretty cool.

Platform explodes in popularity and it goes to complete shit.

It’s happened with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. I’m sure that day will come for this place as well. I guess we’ll just need to enjoy it while it lasts.

Anyone else notice how friendly, calm, and civil the posts and discussions have been away from Reddit? This place reminds me a lot of the early days.

It’s really strange how civil and relaxed the discussions have been. Makes me wonder how much of Reddit is either children or bots stirring the pot constantly

Too bad r/DenverNuggets stayed public and created an r/nba refugee game thread

Yeah that logo is a little questionable
