Also an introvert; switching to working remotely vastly improved my social life (and productivity at work). When I was going to the office, I was burning all my social energy during the day and defaulted to hermit mode on nights and weekends to recharge.
Now I’m sitting on my social charger all day while I’m working and actually have the energy to hang out with my friends outside of work hours.
Maybe whatever app you’re using isn’t really deleting comments? It’s still showing up fine for me and gaining votes.
I switched to iOS a few years back because I tried it for a week when my Pixel died, maintained a pros/cons list, and decided iOS works better for me.
The most eye-opening part switching “sides” is how cringe these types of Android users are. Just use what works for you and enjoy life.
I’ve tried to get my friends consolidated in one app in the past, but have given up. I prefer Discord, but use a combo of that and Slack, Signal, GroupMe, IG, FB Messenger, SMS, email, and probably some others I’m forgetting about. Discord is the only one I directly open, the others I’ll just rely on notifications.
TIL! Amazing.
Trick question. Lemmy is God.
Damn, I never considered that combination before. Being extroverted with social anxiety would be awful.
God, the giant mosquitoes were the worst.
Used Chrome forever, switched to Firefox back when this stuff first started going down. No ragerts.
I just read a super interesting book about this–Monsters by Claire Dederer. It won’t really give you answers, but a thought-provoking discussion on this subject I also struggle with.
Yeah may not be for everyone but these things are dope.
