Yeah, I saw that again the other day and could not care less. I love the Lemmy mobile apps, and there's nothing good left for Reddit in that area.
I actually was kind of annoyed the first week of Lemmy. It felt like a lot of keyboard warriors came over. It doesn't feel as much like that any longer. I think if anyone didn't stick around, it was the loud people pretending they were stronger than their addictions.
Good riddance, this is a much more chill crowd now. Maybe it's just a bunch of old people... But eh, I'm old. We can all be old together now. Just stay the fuck off my lawn, and by that I mean the grass outside my apartment complex.
If anything, I feel a lot more calmer and more at peace when reading Lemmy threads. I find the people here are the reasonable ones, and all the other maggots seemed to stay on Reddit. Which I'm super ok with.
Now and then you'll see someone who just goes thermonuclear on the first response to one of their comments, but they are far and few between. They all seem to eventually go back to Reddit, thankfully. Maybe because they can't get the endorphin rush that they crave here.
This period of peace won't probably last long, but I'm enjoying it while I can.
I've followed a link onto reddit a few times recently, and the first thing I noticed was how unhinged and toxic the discussions are there.
