Blueberries fresh off the bush. Tis the season.

Lol it’s seriously crazy how much less active this place felt a couple of weeks ago. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be someone who was here years ago.

Don’t say, “I can’t wait.” It’s OK to be excited for something but not to wish away all the moments between then and now. Each one is precious.

I picked that up a few years ago from a Buddhist book. It helped me with so many aspects of life.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s good to hear there wasn’t a lot going on because, honestly, coming here from Reddit feels a bit like participating in some sort of digital gentrification.

OP could get constipated by doing a bunch of opioids. Obviously not recommended.

You’re right. The fediverse is definitely in a better position to ward off the suck.

By now, we’ve all been around the internet long enough to know that good things never last. That’s really life: Everything’s impermanent. Lemmy will probably suck someday, as will much of the fediverse. But I’m grateful it’s good right now and for the foreseeable future.

I feel you completely. I spend most of my free time with my family, hiking or paddling, or reading books. It’s nice to have places online to burn some time, but I’d sooner give it up than be forced into some corporate playground. The past 15-20 years have shown that it just doesn’t work.

Same here! Crossing my fingers hard and commenting and posting way more than I did for years on Reddit.
