I very much enjoy it here. It feels like the first non toxic social media that has existed in terms of its personality. People seem friendly and willing to face discussion. It's also nice to interact without ads and idiots like Zuck and Musk.

If there's people there will be toxicity. Look at all of the down voted comments in major threads, it's just reddit with less people. Still a public communication platform.
I prefer not to say.
It's a whole new world.
thanks for that. now my brain is πΆ π΅ πΆ π΅
It's a magic carpet ride
I don't even know
Rougly 43 seconds before seeing this post, I was looking to some really cool artworks and photography pieces, on dedicated communities.
read some articles
Because itβs an outlet for my non-grumpy, cheery personality.
During the day I can be too serious, mostly because I donβt feel safe to express myself fully in public. So I use Lemmy to have some fun, leave a silly reply if I feel like it and post some nice images.
I havenβt done this in years. Before, I spend most of the time just lurking around. It feels good to just let go and be myself with strangers :)
because I'm taking a shit
Interest over much how it's picking up steam in relation to the alien site. Pleasantly surprised!
Gotta get those stimmies
just signed up, i'm here to check things out π
Wasting time while I wait for my girlfriend to hand in her notice π she got a better job π
Wasting time and I fucking hate reddit
It was during the mini-exodus, gotta start somewhere
I don't use reddit on mobile (and use it much much less on desktop with RES, Old reddit, and an adblocker, I still like the computer oriented subs)
Can't sleep and I need a distraction
Apollo stopped working and Voyager scratches that itch.
Because I was banned from all of Reddit for ban evasion in a sub I wasnβt even banned from. Not coincidentally, it was right after speaking out against the the treatment of 3rd party developers over API use.
Caught up on discord.
Because Reddit is just crap anymore.
My daughter and her netball team are having a session at flip out. It's 4pm and I want to go home. I have things to do. We've been out since 8am.
Beans
I'm driving a school bus. (just kidding)
Looking for world and culture news in bed before starting my day
Figuring out whats up in the world. I open the all feed and sort by top in past 12 hours. Thunder client ftw.
I'm having a coffee before I drop the kids off at the pool.
Spez stabbed baconreader in broad daylight so now I get my dopamine fix through Liftoff.
On the bright side, with smaller communities I have cut my time on lemmy in half from what it was on reddit to the point my wife has even brought up how less frequently I am staring at my phone.
Why am I on lemmy right now? Because it's Friday so I am doing as little work as possible. I think I'll go make some eggs.
