And suddenly all is well.
I feel at peace, I often take things on the internet too literally (in person too lol). The whole “touch grass” phrase that many people use doesn’t really resonate with those of us who are neurodivergent. I’m just weary of the online world, but it’s refreshing to see platforms like Lemmy and others in the Fediverse allowing us to control the content we engage with. It’s not just about the content, the audience is different as well.
Whew! How are you guys today?
“Bee nice” is a much better general rule of thumb than “automod reviewed your 10 year old comments and kept banning you from subreddits for half a year after you were already site-banned”.
I’ve been Reddit-free for 1.5 years now, and when I checked it last month, there were new insults waiting for me in the inbox. No, thanks. Even Facebook is (marginally) better than that at this point (although they did ban one of my “favorites” lists for unknown reasons, likely because I forgot to make it private).
