After 10+ years on that Other Site.
After today’s update, Lemmy runs like a dream. Happy with my move. I only use Reddit for work and in a desktop browser now.
Lol what work do you do that requires Reddit?
I work for an online retailer for computer components. Reddit helped/helps give me perspective of what people think about tech products, what they’re looking to buy, and I used it to keep up with the news in the hardware-focused subreddits. Reddit’s community is sufficiently large enough that there are opinions you can read from enthusiasts to homelabbers to people who don’t know what to do when Windows screws up their Radeon Software installation.
As a former technical writer, it helps fill in gaps about things I don’t know enough about, like where people on lower budgets actually choose to spend their money in a build, and whether or not the RTX 4060 is actually terrible, as opposed to it not meeting expectations of an audience that it’s not aimed at.
Must be why I’ve finally been able to log back in again. Yay
This place is the shit. It’s like everyone who actually was active on Reddit moved here. The content is great. The community all hates that guy who banned APIs. It doesn’t matter what differences you have. It’s anger that causes better things to bloom.
Kind of like potatos. Like I forgot I planted them. I’m constantly finding potatos. I swear I ran them over with a lawn mower. They came back. We came back.
I love that so much that I made you a meme:
Thanks, potato strong.
