I personally wish there were more communities - it’s kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don’t upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can’t find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you’d see here are most likely who won’t accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.

Oh, for sure. There will be battles for resources that would probably dwindle exponentially. There will be loads of suffering throughout. I’ve worried so much for years and have made my own contributions to reduce my carbon footprint - recycled and reused as much as I can, not buying a car, among others - and it’s so exhausting to keep caring when the main perpetrators get to keep doing it abundantly relatively scot-free. At this point, it’s just easier for my own mental health to choose my battles and to choose which one to worry more and hopefully help in that aspect. This is one of the main reasons I’ve decided to become childfree; it’s just cruel to bring life to an uncertain world where the bad guys run rampant.

Is it bizarre it doesn’t bother me that much about what happens to humanity at this point? Scientists have seen this happening decades ago and have implored companies and governments to make changes, only to land in deaf ears… so in a way, we saw this coming and didn’t care. We kinda had it coming. What I really worry for are the innocent animals, fauna, and flora that will definitely be affected by this. It upsets me even just a change in temperature can mean life or death for some species. I just hope we can still slow this down enough for them to be able to adapt too 😥

Really hoping my country doesn’t follow suit to this. I can get a seat in a nice cinema with big seats that can become a bed with a push of the button for only 10 usd (which includes free popcorn!). Did you perhaps pay using a Credit Card? From my experience every time I buy stuff online like bus tickets which you usually buy at their booth, I have to pay extra for the “convenience”.

That just makes people want to use Twitter less, won’t it? Unless there’s some grand strategist-levels Masterplan behind this that I’m simply too stupid to fathom? I already use less of Twitter since he owned it, and I may even just cut it off now. It’s such a shame too because it’s one way for content creators to reach out to their community aside from Discord… I personally use Twitter a lot to notify people when I’m going live, etc. but with this change there might not even be a point anymore because I absolutely refuse to sign up for Twitter Blue.
