I think this is great. It’s a new opportunity for all of us to define something new - whatever that means to each of us.

Yep, smaller, but a tighter group of like-minded folks.

I would love to start a community for my city here but I honestly can’t figure out how the syntax works to start one. Every time I try to create one I get an error.

Happy to explain! For me doom scrolling is the tendency to be attracted to the top trending posts of the last 24 hours on Reddit - specifically bad or triggering news. Perhaps for some people that would be news only about social movements or political policies that are frightening for them or their loved ones. Hence a sense of “doom” when scrolling through the feed. Another example might be posts related to Ukraine and Putin’s tactical nukes being moved to Belarus. It all depends on the individual but it’s usually triggering shit that you really don’t need to see more of …

I’m the same way - I don’t read anymore. I have a BA in English. I should love reading. I am also in a career that involves a bunch of reading and writing, so I am also kinda burned out at the end of the day by stressful content; and Reddit did always have something fun and dumb to look at along with the doom. (Oh, can’t forget about the great Google search sourcing - I do miss that)

Totally agree that I want more variety. As with any adventure only time will tell if this is worth it as far as a time investment.

Everyone keeps commenting on how federation feels “emptier” than Reddit, but honestly all I did after 15 or so years on Reddit is doom scroll. I just lurked and felt miserable. There IS less content here and because of that I visit for a shorter period of time and that FREEs me up to do other, more productive things with people I know outside of social media. After the past few weeks of learning about the tech and the why and how of the land I think I like the balance here.

Victoria was the original “moderator” of AMAs and they shit-canned her for corporate politics. She was amazing with the celebs and the community. You know, the more you look back the more you realize Reddit’s management has always been shit. I’m not going back. I’d rather be low-key here where we aren’t seeing corporate politics at play - yet (hopefully never)

Mah freedom fingers! How will I shoot my AR-15 off at 2:30 am on July 5th and wake all the neighbors up with no fingers?

I haven’t had time because, for me, I now have a queue of great games I’m trying to juggle (Also kids and a very busy career). Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo 4, Jedi: Survivor, and the list goes on. I do want to play once I have more time because I’m hearing so many great things.

I’d love to see this as well but I know the developer has been working hard on core functionality based on the TestFlight logs. I hope it will be implemented once the initial heavy lifting is completed
