It's not coming completely out of nowhere. The fact that you're having a discussion on Lemmy means the people you're conversing with are aware that you're willing to consider libre alternatives to shitty mainstream tech.

I'm just surprised to hear that google hasn't found out about my flumjangles yet.

It's upsetting to see the shit-talking because I imagine reading that nonsense is emotionally draining, especially when you're already stressed out with a billion things to do. I've seen you guys active in the lemmy community for years and you've always been wonderful. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates the work you two have put in and are currently putting in. I'm really happy that your project is starting to catch on.

Never been an /r/piracy user, but this is so obviously the correct response that I feel embarrassed I didn't think of it as soon as I saw this drama being posted here.

It was a small friendly community where we could shoot the shit. I'm generally lurking much much more than posting on all the platforms I've used, but on lemmy sometimes if I had a silly thought I would just find some community adjacent to my silly thought and throw it out to the world, without feeling like I might be judged for a bad post or wrong place to share.

Absolutely everyone knows it's dumb to get invested in upvotes or downvotes, but I'm an irrational person and sometimes I like to see that someone appreciated my contribution to discussion. When you're in a smaller community, those somehow feel more personal, you feel like someone actually read what you wrote. The flip side to that mentality would be feeling insecure about downvotes, but I think I only ever got one downvote before the migration a couple weeks ago. The community felt welcoming to me.

I will admit, there is a tiny part of me that feels like my special place is turning into another reddit, which I'll have to get used to. I feel like I'm not supposed to say that out loud, but it is there. The big concern I have is getting big enough to have product placement and PR stuff. Reddit was popular enough to get astroturfed to hell, and as a dumb person sometimes I can't distinguish which opinions are genuine. That makes me feel more detached from discussion.

Overall though, I'm really happy to see this place succeed, it's come so far since I joined a few years ago. I've commented a bunch in the past few days, I do really like having more people to chat with. My experiences with the devs have been great over the years and I'm happy for them to have their project gain steam, they really deserve it.

Eastward is an indie game I got because I saw someone recommend it on Lemmy a couple years ago. The pixel art was amazing, and some of it had a very unique eerieness. The story was heartwarming at times and creepy at other times. The only real complaint I had was that so much of the story remained unexplained after the ending, I really wanted to see all the little pieces of plot tied together.

I've been on lemmy for about three years and the admins have been phenomenal. The interactions I've had and seen with them have been well-reasoned and positive.

I'm going to stop using reddit on mobile altogether when redreader goes.

I just hit the max (999 hours, 59 minutes) in yo-kai 3 for 3ds a few days ago.

I use redreader too, I was happy to see the developer post that they were considering reworking it for Lemmy. Hopefully they decide it's worth their effort.

I figured it had to be coming, but I haven't heard yet about old.reddit being killed. Is that going to happen at the same time as the third-party apps?

I used diaspora for years and years but at some point I gave up on it, maybe I should give it a go again. Anyway, I found that following interesting accounts was a lot more effective than following tags. Check out the public feed every so often, anyone who posts something fun or interesting, follow.
