Our role now is to continue making this a viable alternative. We must walk so they can run (away from Reddit)

Bruhhh I thought you were someone else. Welcome aboard

Why does this always happen to me too? Is this some sort of psychological phenomenon?

Chill man. Even my activity is dropping now, but that’s just me thinking that Lemmy will be self-sufficient while I read my books. It’s true that Lemmy is not as addicting as reddit, but that’s for the best. I’ve actually gotten into new hobbies whose communities I might eventually join here.

More confused than disappointed tbh. I’ve always wondered how I could make that happen again. Don’t worry, some years after that I learned how to emulate games to my phone.

I remember when I woke up early in the morning for school, and played with a portable console while waiting for my mother to cook breakfast. A few minutes later, I realised I never had a console in the first place, and it vanished into thin air.

Or ask questions in general, the reddit community HATES questions for some reason.

The low effort commenters have come over from Reddit. Yikes.

And with different purposes and contributions

I’m literally less than a decade old and only own a phone and a shitty HP laptop

You also have multiple right-wing shitholes that promise free speech and also drive us out. I’d say the favor is returned here.

With that logic, people like you deserve to be punished for being complacent with negligent homicide and property damage. My country is being wracked with extreme weather events and my countrymen are now inconvenienced with rising costs of and lack of water supply due to lowering water levels due to the extreme heat because of climate change, and guess what? Lots of people dying to heat stroke, because of the high humidity levels. There is a limit to the temperature people can survive with those humidity levels. People like you only care about convenience, even though hundreds of millions of people will suffer or even die from it because people like you DON’T CARE, and you only will when you complain about the incoming climate refugee crisis. Someday it will be so hot out that poor people won’t be able to protest outside, and the rich people ever more out of touch with reality because they’ll never get out of their air-conditioned houses.

Cambridge Analytica. Not only did they influence the elections and general political attitude of the Philippines, it also affected US elections as well. I think there was a genocide that was caused by targeted campaigns too, not sure where it happened, though.

Content for the sake of content is pretty bad too, so don’t force yourself. Conversely, you also don’t have to force yourself to be silent (which other people and I felt on Reddit).

Voting on protest polls from your communities.

It’s a web app. Recently it’s become even more optimised, I can now type and navigate Lemmy without any lag on my phone at all. It’s not as choppy as you’d expect websites to be.

Your friend or classmate would be like “You’ve got games on your phone?” then when you’re not looking they’ll try to access your social media.

On reddit you’d regularly see people calling the people who downvoted them names
