I wish I hadn't ruined my first watch of Steins;Gate by starting from one of the last episodes. It got me excited, but there was so much stuff referring to earlier episodes that made me realize I'm not watching the first episode. I'm waiting just a bit longer to restart watching. I did the same with Battlestar Galactica's last season and got all excited like "Holy shit this last season is going to be crazy" before realizing I just completely ruined the whole season for myself.

Seconding Akira and Ghost in the shell, Steins;Gate is great too.
One of the first ones I saw (and I love cyberpunk and scifi shit) was Serial Experiments Lain and it was one of the first ones to get me absolutely hooked. Mind you, it is weird and strange, but if you're into stuff like David Lynch at all you'll love it.
Others to look into that aren't exactly cyberpunk, but futuristic/scifi nonetheless: Neon Genesis Evangelion (finish it, it gets really cool towards the end and I thought all things mecha-anything was just dudes being silly about robots), Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy and Gantz (might seem silly at first, but gets interesting towards the end).
I had a very similar experience. Most of my comments I deleted in a few seconds/minutes because there was no shortage of assholes on top of me being a nervous wreck. I was on Reddit for over a decade and I've been more active on here than nearly my entire time on Reddit (I have several alts here for other instances and for curating several different kinds of feeds).
Some subreddits I miss and sometimes there's not much new content to go through or interact with, but I feel like it'll probably be better to get a little bored with the feed every now and then and read a fucking book or basically anything else. And besides it's still all taking form, but I really am liking Lemmy more in general.
No you stopped at the exact right moment, the entire season is downhill after the first episode/ two episodes. The episodes were entertaining enough to watch if you have nothing better to watch, but it's not very Black Mirror. This episode is fairly generic werewolf trope.
Ooh I totally forgot this one! Osmos is seriously an amazing game, one of my favorite games of all time.
Pathos - Nethack Codex, a very playable traditional roguelike based on Nethack.
Unciv, an open-source Civilization V remake.
kids told us that it was important for Furby to...
...meditate...
Ok I'm aware that traditions are different in different parts of the world and such, but now I'm picturing that times have changed so much kids are meditating and it's an important thing to them. I mean I started kind of out of the blue as a kid without outside influence as a pasty white European dude, but I got made fun of for it when people found out.
~~Kind of~~ really cool if kids are meditating these days.

Yeah the reason I joined this instance was because I thought there was supposed to be less hot air bullshit like this. I think people got this hateful take already when it was shoved down everyone's throats everywhere for a couple of years now when it's not even relevant to the discussion. That horse has been flogged all the back to Hades and back a hundred-fold already.
edit: typo
In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka has Oompaloompas working as slaves(?) in his factory. I constantly have the Oompaloompa song playing in my head so it's Oompaloompa with more OOMPH! Nothing more, nothing less. Yes, I am a moron and I know it would've been better as Oomphaloompa, but it's too late now. At least there's twice as much oomph now.
