I’m not new to Lemmy anymore… but this place remains something of a mystery to me. At Reddit we met mostly A-holes… but here some how there are genuinely intelligent, kind, empathic individuals who share valuably and vulnerably from their experience with, I believe, the sole intention of helping perfect strangers.
Your comment here stood out to me so much that I did something I almost never do… I mosied into your contributions. I’ll share why: when certain folks here are so intelligent and spot on, I worry it’s AI. Forgive me. Why someone should be trying to run AI bots in the Fediverse is beyond me, but there, now you have peeked at a little of my own toxic narrative. I confess that I noticed you do not create original posts… choosing to drop insightful comments when interested. If I may, and I hope you will pardon my curiosity about an interesting person, how do you find yourself un compelled to ever make a post? Or do you have a lessermeancow account where you drop a meme every so often?
Don’t let this go to your head, but as I read the first comment you left me and others I read from your profile, I thought, this person was a star at Reddit and left when everyone else did. I’m glad you’ve embraced your mission.
I’ll say, I don’t share stuff for popularity — I share it because I want others to know about it or I want to know if they agree or disagree with it.
I’m a big fan of typewriters and I think sometimes about starting an r/typewriters here… that and r/idiocracy are what i miss most from Reddit.
Waning… you could be referring to the rest of vapid mainstream socials… and I agree that’s waning or already lost, but I have great faith in the Fediverse. You do not?
Yeah… seeing in the century time frame… I’m barely able to fathom six months or a year. I can see Lemmy growing at its current rate for a decade without becoming dog shit for certain.
There is a percentage of the mainstream getting fed up with dogshit. They are sniffing around.
Somehow you are making me feel more responsible for supporting this instance… how much are people donating?
I realize that was not your intention… and I don’t really use this place that much… but I am heartened by the thoughtfulness and generosity of the people that will share an old thread like this… Like… I don’t know you but I like your thinking. I often feel that I have a lot to learn from the folks here.
Do you go back to the system of interconnected BBS systems that allowed you to have a friend a thousand miles away and you could send emails back and forth? And play space trader? This is how far I go back. Pre-aol
