Lemmy is not a “they” who did this. Lemmy is the platform on which a user decided to share their canvas idea thing. Anyone who is not interested in this idea can block the person who posted it and any community where they see the same idea again.
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. Often times, the second and third reading is different and less coherent than the first one. Sometimes, whatever I’m reading stays constant. Sometimes, I’m trying to read but it doesn’t work. Either it’s blurry or I see the letters scrambling around the page in front of me.
If I remember a number or word from a dream, it’s usually something another person in the dream said to me.
I’ll second the recommendation for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (by Douglas Adams).
It is very funny, with a zany sense of humor that is right at home in meme land. Many of the funny things I have read in memes and comments under memes are just quotes from that book.
I generally don’t use emojis because I don’t think I understand the nuances of emoji well enough to throw them out there for strangers on the internet to interpret.
6-8 hours each day, but I don’t think my situation should be the standard for everyone.
But who says you “should be” working the full 8 hours?
To me, the draw of Lemmy is that it’s not the same as it ever was here. I don’t know the internet before ads, this place is great!
Yes. It’s different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.
I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn’t seem to be the place for me. I’m not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don’t like the lack of conversation there.
This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.
I find it refreshing, for the most part. I’ve found that comments and replies are much more civil, I’m still getting used to the way users here disagree with actual reasoning while maintening respect for the other perspective. I had ads blocked before, but being absolutely ad free, without even the blank space where an ad would go is even better. The only downside is the amount of space dedicated to complaining about reddit. I don’t wish to stop anyone from processing in whatever way they need, I just need to spend more time in my subscriptions instead of “all”.
Seems like it’s time to make an updated depiction
