I went on to Apollo to basically see/look at what Reddit looked like, because I am curious.

I have a lot of filtered out keywords/subs and so my front page kinda looked like what I had left a few weeks ago. However I hopped into the comments for stickied threads and I read some of the weirdest comments. Talking about how the 3PA devs are the problem, that Reddit needs to make money, and how they’re happy with Reddit’s decision

It felt like I was reading a bunch of comments from cult members. They were saying stuff like “I’m Team Reddit” when talking about the devs vs Reddit. And a lot of the subs I would have expected to be closed indefinitely are back to normal. I expected that reddits activity level would be relatively the same, and I’m extremely happy with having found Lemmy and other people who share the same values I do

I don’t know why I posted this, I think mostly due to getting my thoughts out there and talk to others about this. When the Apollo decision was announced, I kinda found myself “touching grass” more often. I stopped using reddit and started riding my bike outside or lifting more often. Lemmy and YT didn’t fill up the space that Reddit took up, but I think I’m happier now that I’m touching grass and I’m consuming longer form content

I’ve rambled on long enough, so I guess my question to you is, what is your favorite ice cream treat/dish/flavor? I’m more of a M&M vanilla ice cream cone kinda person

For ice creams: Peanut butter chocolate chip. Choco cookie dough. Coffee ice cream (but only some of them, there are also a lot of really bad ones). Also, weirdly, Tillamook peaches and cream? I'm not a huge fruity ice cream person but it has to be one of my all time faves.

And yeah, I haven't nuked my account on Reddit yet and surprisingly was still logged in on my phone's web browser (last used circa never?) which I just stumbled on today.

I spent a minute browsing and it reminded me of when I'd get back on Twitter or FB after being off for a while. It's just so incredibly negative and hateful. I can't believe I didn't see it before, that same problem was why I ditched both FB and Twitter. I just don't need that in my life.
