Pretty sure we're witnessing an AI gaining sentience. Amazing times.

Nothing specific on Lemmy yet, mostly sorting by new or active and scrolling through.

Back on Reddit, I was mostly on hobbyist subs, such as /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/hiking, /r/trucksim and /r/simracing

Hello from your tiny neighbour down south ;)

Ah, ich bin endlich zu Hause

Ich im echten Leben > Me in real life

Feddit.de because Deutschsprachig and I loved Reddit, but would love to see a successfully federated version of it.

Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it's always nice to be part of a growing community.

You feel like you're actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.

Thanks! Amazing how far we've progressed technologically, but are still stumped and easily misled by crappy headlines.

No, definitely not bothered. But it wasn't always this way. I was very self-conscious from my teenage years up to the first few years when I started working full-time.

It was only when I started working that I had to learn to deal with it. I was always taking feedback and criticisms very personally and as an introvert, felt extremely down plenty of times.

I taught myself to see things from the perspective and scale of the world - 7 billion people out there, what does it matter that a few people think of what I do, or what I am?

Of course, cutting out social media definitely helped a lot too. I still have my accounts, but have stopped using them actively, at least the ones that expose my personal life.

With social media out of the picture, I was comparing myself to my peers a lot less and spent much more time on productive things instead - learning a new language, skills, picking up new hobbies and all.

It's not easy, but it is liberating once you figure it out.

I think u/spez should be the first to do an AMA right here on lemmy.

I think Mastodon's community isn't really up to par with what most Twitter ditchers were expecting.

The Reddit-Lemmy exodus however, is far more exaggerated because of the tremendous number of users on third-party apps that were being killed.

This probably led to a lot more content generation and activity which makes it a lot more welcoming than Mastodon was.
