Pretty sure we’re witnessing an AI gaining sentience. Amazing times.

Nothing specific on Lemmy yet, mostly sorting by new or active and scrolling through.

Back on Reddit, I was mostly on hobbyist subs, such as /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/hiking, /r/trucksim and /r/simracing

Hello from your tiny neighbour down south ;)

Ah, ich bin endlich zu Hause

Ich im echten Leben > Me in real life

Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it’s always nice to be part of a growing community.

You feel like you’re actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.

Thanks! Amazing how far we’ve progressed technologically, but are still stumped and easily misled by crappy headlines.

No, definitely not bothered. But it wasn’t always this way. I was very self-conscious from my teenage years up to the first few years when I started working full-time.

It was only when I started working that I had to learn to deal with it. I was always taking feedback and criticisms very personally and as an introvert, felt extremely down plenty of times.

I taught myself to see things from the perspective and scale of the world - 7 billion people out there, what does it matter that a few people think of what I do, or what I am?

Of course, cutting out social media definitely helped a lot too. I still have my accounts, but have stopped using them actively, at least the ones that expose my personal life.

With social media out of the picture, I was comparing myself to my peers a lot less and spent much more time on productive things instead - learning a new language, skills, picking up new hobbies and all.

It’s not easy, but it is liberating once you figure it out.

I, for one, actually like the wefwef icon. It has a personality of its own.

Perhaps the ability to customise and select an icon would be the real solution here.

Nice, looking forward to see this handy feature get merged into an upcoming build!

wefwef is unique as an identity and the all lowercase styling makes it even more so.

I vote for wefwef and hopes it remains that way!

I think Mastodon’s community isn’t really up to par with what most Twitter ditchers were expecting.

The Reddit-Lemmy exodus however, is far more exaggerated because of the tremendous number of users on third-party apps that were being killed.

This probably led to a lot more content generation and activity which makes it a lot more welcoming than Mastodon was.
