I'll double check this when I'm on desktop next. Maybe that's the issue?

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

It's a weird feeling not being targeted with content and ads. I forgot what it was like.

I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.

The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think "Weird. Moving on." and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they'll get what's coming to them.

It's not all bad, but I miss the sort of "wild west" feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn't real life.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like "Gary's Favorite Garlic Breads", just run by Gary, who isn't trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

I think it's a cool look.

Spreading out like the fediverse is designed is good. Redundancy and crossposted content is good.

We're seeing the biggest instances struggle with the traffic lately, so I'm just engaging more with different communities whenever they're not accessible.

Which is a damn shame, because it's actually kind of good.

Would be sweet and savory. That's a thing, right?

Turn-based combat rocks though! It feels more strategic and tactical.

Was a "fuck cars" user? They can be pretty ignorant and unreasonable sometimes.

Maybe you should've just biked that 100 miles. Lol

So much outrage and doom. The algorithm rewarded people being more and more extreme, even about real problems.

Like, yes I lean left like reddit, but not every issue is the biggest scandal that has ever existed.

If you get swept up in that stuff, you'd think the world was about to end. And you'd frequently encounter people who think just so.

Ok, somebody fill me in

In your area

They're adorable

Hot seems to be the way to go for me, unless I'm in a single community and sorting by new.

I've ingested more quality memes on lemmy since June 1st than I have on other platforms for a while. It's refreshing.

I was wondering about that. Some communities seemed WAY too active for like 40 subscribers, lol

McCoy was right!

Holy shit
