I went on to Apollo to basically see/look at what Reddit looked like, because I am curious.
I have a lot of filtered out keywords/subs and so my front page kinda looked like what I had left a few weeks ago. However I hopped into the comments for stickied threads and I read some of the weirdest comments. Talking about how the 3PA devs are the problem, that Reddit needs to make money, and how they’re happy with Reddit’s decision
It felt like I was reading a bunch of comments from cult members. They were saying stuff like “I’m Team Reddit” when talking about the devs vs Reddit. And a lot of the subs I would have expected to be closed indefinitely are back to normal. I expected that reddits activity level would be relatively the same, and I’m extremely happy with having found Lemmy and other people who share the same values I do
I don’t know why I posted this, I think mostly due to getting my thoughts out there and talk to others about this. When the Apollo decision was announced, I kinda found myself “touching grass” more often. I stopped using reddit and started riding my bike outside or lifting more often. Lemmy and YT didn’t fill up the space that Reddit took up, but I think I’m happier now that I’m touching grass and I’m consuming longer form content
I’ve rambled on long enough, so I guess my question to you is, what is your favorite ice cream treat/dish/flavor? I’m more of a M&M vanilla ice cream cone kinda person
I get it. My own brother is one of those "team reddit" people. We actually argued a bit because he lashed out when I said I'd deleted my account. I've never told him my username, because he's an asshole. So he started lording over me about his karma, not knowing that I had a lot more than he did and actually never gave a single fuck about it, which is why I like Lemmy and Beehaw specifically a lot better. I'm an adult, so I dropped it and moved onto other things even though he told me that people who felt the way I do are somehow "sheep", lol. It's actually the other way around but he can't grasp that. It's an argument he'd never let me win, so I'm better off just trying to stay away from that subject.
Edited to add: I'm a sucker for tropical flavour ice cream bars.
