I had a few classmates from the PRC when I was in college. At the time I criticized them and thought they were weird for only keeping to themselves and not wanting to socialize with people outside their group. Now I think I know why they were like that, and i don’t blame them.
Yeah, I hear talk of a lot of instances wanting to block any instance that federates with lemmygrad.
This is exactly why I have an account on lemmy.ml. Lemmygrad is my safe space to come back to when I am sick of seeing braindead lib takes.
Aesthetically I love Sequoias, but I really love the Eucalyptus trees that grow near my house. They smell so good!
I don't think that's silly at all. I wasn't aware that some subs were closing only as a joke/ironically, which is pretty shitty if that's the case. Most communities I was a part of are participating in the blackout for legitimate reasons. Hopefully those communities can be rebuilt here, but I understand that's not ideal and can take time. Which sub are you referring to, if I may ask?
I want to, but I am trying to find a way to make a private backup of my saved comments/threads before I do. I have a lot of useful stuff that I saved over the last 12 years that I really don't want to lose. Some have suggested making a GDPR request, but since I am not in the EU Reddit technically doesn't have to comply. Automated tools I have found only purge my data with no way to make a backup first.
I did at first, but the more acclimated I get to Lemmy/Fediverse that feeling has mostly gone away. I'm mostly going to miss the Apollo app, because it was just that good and is where I spent the most time browsing Reddit. I sincerely hope Christian Selig makes a Lemmy app and I will gladly pay for it if he does, but I understand if he wants a break or wants to focus on other projects.
I just dyed my hair purple today, so there's that. I also like painting my nails.
