    I joined the reddit Melbourne dt because it looked fun. Sometimes I comment sometimes I don’t. Then I read comments that are snarky and bitter and I think for a brief moment are you a cunt irl? Anyway love you guys ♥ (I am sober by the way. For the time being. Not afraid to show my feels).

      Did you see the comments yesterday from the guy bragging about making a 3D printed gun and shooting a 100 rounds into Silvan Reservoir? He’s a cunt IRL for sure

      My work computer had Lemmy blocked until today, so I found it hard to come on here during those moments where I needed a mental break from work. The DT feels like it’s maybe 10% what it used to be and 90% people asking questions into the void. I miss it all being in one neat place, but given Reddit’s slide towards (more) questionable content, I guess I’ll just use this place as my dose of social media and leave it at that?

        Oh look I get it. I never left but when the same question comes up “where is everybody?” you have cunts with smartarse answers and yet you can answer in the most mature way. I always upvote you.

          Ugh, you’re so right. And like, if that’s what’s left of Reddit then it’s just going to turn into yet another Twitter alternative. That kind of response flies in the face of what the DT was, as well. So annoying. We used to be there to downvote that type of rhetoric but I guess without the positive community vibe to set the mood the rats are just going to scamper about.
