And yet, after three months you still think about it.

I do look on Reddit sometimes, there are niche communities that don't exist in that form in the fediverse and it would be quite hard to just ignore the existence of that site, especially when wanting to look up certain information. I did successfully stop participating though.

Having used it for over 12 years, sure I think about it occasionally; usually when I remember how glad I am that I no longer use it.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Never use "how" and "like" in the same sentence that way. Use "What it feels like" or "How it feels".

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Good pointer, thanks!

Because it's redundant. The word "how" already contains the idea that you're speaking about the "quality" of the thing you're showing. Quality in the original sense of the word, meaning "the distinctive character of something".

The word "like" is used to express that you're comparing one thing to another in ragards to the distinctive characater of the other thing, but you've already established you're doing that with the word "how".

[-] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because it's a comparison - what it feels like. "How it feels like" doesn't make sense.

[-] KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How about shutting the fuck up, minding your own business, and letting people do whatever the fuck they want?

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They're technically also doing whatever the fuck they want and you're the one being a hypocrite now. Take your own advice, disgusting POS.

[-] KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Are you one of those people who can't follow context clues and use rudimentary primary school reasoning to come up with the actual meaning of a sentence without the sentence being inundated with discussing all the tidbits, nuances, and subtleties that make the sentence able to be understood by a poorly designed AI? You're a really, really stupid person.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What part of what I said needs context clues, jerkface. Reach harder 'cause you got nothing. Are you so angry at the world that you think anyone who calls you out on your bullshit is stupid for letting you have it? Is that how that works? You're raging at someone who did nothing wrong, angry little man. People iike you make the internet worse. You're part of the problem, dickhead.

[-] KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What you're doing is comparing apples to oranges. Someone complaining about one's grammar for no other reason than defending the system in place is being a dick to that person. They're not arguing for a better world or a better system, they're just jerking off what already exists simply because it exists. They were also not suggesting new information to that person, they were saying you must follow these rules. If you don't see the difference between a) telling someone like that to fuck off and b) telling someone to fuck off who told that person to fuck off, I don't know what to tell you. It seems like you skipped a few critical thinking and philosophy seminars in your heyday. You wannabe YouTube debaters are profoundly stupid.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh, nice, I've never seen someone bend over backwards and do a few somersaults in trying to justify their shitty behavior. No amount of "critical thinking and philosophy" seminars can undo the jackass that you've shown yourself to be over someone trying to be helpful by giving some pointers that absolutely make sense. But no, you had come in trying to be a knighted hero of the people, Mr. Kill All Poor People edgelord.

I don’t know what to tell you.

in your heyday

You wannabe YouTube debaters are profoundly stupid

HUHH?? First of all, who tf is debating you? Does taking a philosophy class automatically put you on the vanguard of people trying to debate you online for calling you out? I'm telling you to shut your yap. You don't have to tell me anything. Like I said, take your own advice and fuck off. Ageist and classist POS to boot.

[-] KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Haha. An entire post of nothing but insults. Trolls will be trolls, I guess.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, I only wrote the things you chose to look at, and that's definitely the definition of trolling. Props to you for accepting your shittiness with your shitty semester of philosophy in college. Haha. Clap clap.

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

Oh my god, I JUST realized this scene is from Twilight…

[-] Nurgle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Ohhhhhh. I always assumed it was some underworld sequel, which in retrospect wouldn’t have really made sense.

[-] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

... oh my god

Oh my God, you're right!

I always think it's some random scene in Always Sunny.

But after drunkenly watching Twilight for laughs, I only just noticed

[-] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

It turned you into a fruity vampire?

[-] whodatdair@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I feel sparkley when I’m here

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Wish they’d stop holding these meetings in the middle of an open field in broad daylight.

[-] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm just here to play some regulation softball

[-] jeremy_sylvis@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

For me, the early days of my time on Lemmy highlighted what I'd been missing from Reddit: quality discussions light on dog-piling, circle jerking, and holier-than-thou partisan clique bullshit.

These have all come to Lemmy in force with the migration, so now I'm plenty happy on either platform with a "block early, block often" strategy. It ends up just as low-stress.

[-] RoseRose56@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes yes and yes! I feel the same. Memes and normal conversations, without having someone to post a reference from a movie or series or even type their life time experience.

[-] 13p@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Just quit using Reddit today. Feelsgoodman

[-] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

I got to say I'm weak and still go there 50% of the time. But my app is still working charge free so that I can still avoid deleting it. I think shifting participation to Lemmy is the long run goal. I'm on my way.

[-] Ashtear@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not up to 50% (maybe my app being toast is part of that) but I do still visit more than I'd like. I've pretty much accepted at this point that it's the only place for certain niche discussion. I went cold turkey on participation, though. I can't help Reddit die if I'm still putting content on it (and I have full ad-blocking and domain-level JS blocking to keep ads away).

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Same. I find some answers helpful but I will not touch the UI. I have a feeling they'll start doing some manipulative shit trying to get people to participate.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That feeling but also the AA feeling of being of the edge of falling back into it at any moment.

[-] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ok but imagine breaking and buying a bottle of vodka, only to swig it and realise it's pond water.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hmmm pond water. Slurp.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Stuffy and pompous, makes sense

I feel like shit not having used reddit for 3 months. I want a forum for each anime I watch that isn't MAL...

How I party not having browsed Reddit for three months:

Didn’t Arnold say something about “Cumin all the time”, pretty much.

[-] Zeta_Reticuli@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Been the until Infiniti worked. To be honest, Lemmy isn't that comfy and I don't really see what is interested in...

[-] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Vecna, Aziraphale, and The Swede

[-] arwengrey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Going on 24hrs woot 😎

[-] joneskind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I do feel a little bit superior since I’m using Lemmy, especially when I meet some I-don-t-give-a-shit Reddit user but the feeling I got most is happiness.

This meme needs LE happy kitty/doggo.

[-] Metatronz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Heck yeah, fella. Feels great

[-] Atlas48@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

I use both.
