Humans are all different. It's difficult to accurately generalize them. Some people like only fans, but for other people it does literally nothing for them.

To each their own.

Interesting link, thank you!

Internet is going to be internet, but this place is like 10% as adversarial as reddit from my experience so far. I haven't even had anybody DM me to end myself yet. At reddit I got those for saying my favorite game was Total Annihilation.

Less true in other languages. Twitter was big in Japan where 140 chars goes a bit further.

It's also one of my favorites.

I think your assessment is optimistic.

He'll ruin the gov like he ruined X

Hey thanks, I do lean a little hard on the self deprecating humor sometimes.

Reddit has been getting worse for years, and the comments there are so adversarial and insincere.

Users definitely can get sick of bad sites, what happened with X shows that. Their user base is a small fraction of what it was a few years ago.

I'm definitely liking it here though!

They care about money. If they don't go alone with it they probably get fined. So yeah, I think they will.

And it's not uncommon. Lots of countries don't call other countries by their names. Japan is Nihon. China is Zhōngguó. Germany is Deutschland.

But changing it specifically to be different is nuts.

More like I have no personality and just go with the flow 😜

In 2010 I was part of the Great Digg Exodus, and now in 2025 I'm part of the Reddit->Lemmy migration. Truly I'm part of the crowd.
