How did your perspective change?

Definitely do, it's fun. (Usually? Sometimes?)
I've had this happen to me. I'm pretty happy to talk to anyone who approaches me so I made the mistake of saying hello to a girl who said hi to me. Being on Khaosan Road I should have known better. Anyway, she kept following me and asking me to engage in various acts for money, or even for "free". I kept saying no thank you, I'm good, but she kept following. I had to form a brisk jog to get away.
Thank god finally.
I'm surprised my first whimsical drunken post got so high up in upvotes. I am also slightly saddened by it lol. I need to up the effort next time .
While you're here I'd appreciate if you'd try out my circa-2001 XP-themed Winamp skin I made with MSPaint back then: https://skins.webamp.org/skin/65771a207ee6f20e922a0022d0fa5f81/XP_AMP1234.wsz/
I recommend listening to Limp Bizkit albums while wondering how awesome computers are gunna be in the future.
Tbh I have no idea, I stumbled across Lemmy from a random Reddit post. However, getting out of Reddit for a bit and looking around what's here now, it reminds me of the early days, and maybe I'm just old, but I think they were better. Maybe at Reddit's scale + the way the web is now just isn't something that scratches that itch for me. If not Lemmy I hope to find another alternative for that. But in order for this to work, you're right, it does need a certain number of users, we'll have to see how that pans out I guess.
The current internet is shit now. There's too much noise and not enough depth. I like the vibe here so far. This is my first post hello world etc.
This is exactly why the Reddit blackout would have been so easy to win if people actually held their ground
