@Ni@kbin.social

So I just came here and deleted Reddit for good.

It’s an adjustment phase, but I’ve been here for a few minutes and already I like Lemmy better than Reddit. The entire format is just better put together. It feels like the old internet, where you could just shoot info back and forth without the rigamarole. I’m still not sure how every feature works, mind. Anyone out there...

Another vote for kbin here. But glad you've found a new Internet home!

Honestly a lot of it feels like gaslighting now. Some of us have been freaking out about this for a while.

Its the optiomy of we've tried nothing and we're out of ideas. Although I did see something about potentially blocking out the sun, so there's that option

We need big companies to really champion the move to green tech and renewables, and reinvest some of the profit. I don't think customers should shoulder the burden when you consider the last few years of recoding breaking profits

I intellectually understand the concept but personally cannot grasp it. The rise of the billionaire and the staggering record profits of some of these companies is just beyond the pale.

I think we're at a crisis point with the climate, we're hitting so many new records and milestones with a rapid pace.

As you say it's all destabilising. What I absolutely don't accept is that the customer should feel the brunt of that chnage. These companies have made record profit in the last few years, what a wonderful opportunity to reinvest and fix so many of the problems they have caused.

Hah, billionaires are an immoral concept in general. Should never have existed

Thank you, yes please. Record profits over the past few years!

I mean we must protect their profits at all costs.....

I think they had gender split, country etc. It'd be nice to know if kbin mirrors more of the reddit general membership or if it differs

Hah nice to meet you! I was thinking more of an anonymised questionnaire, not sure how or who would do it. Also not sure how beehaw held theirs?

I might have seen enough bean content for one lifetime.

I like the idea of hobbies and interests being a part. Might help see if we have strong potential 'niche' communities

Might be nice to have a place to introduce and say hi, not sure if I've seen a magazine for that purpose yet?

I'd just personally like to know if there are more Europeans or people from the UK on here. Reddit did skew very American which is absolutely fine, but I'm wondering if a similar demographic migrated here or if certain groups left?

Ni,

I couldn't agree more! I already find this place more welcoming than reddit and it got my curious as to why

Ni,

I'm both intrigued and horrified by most of those!

Shirt buttoned from the bottom??

This is true, I was only curious from an anonymous and general perspective, but it's great to read more about people here through comments

Magic skeleton is great, reminds me of:

You’re a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust; what do you have to be scared of?

Nice to meet you! Not sure if you were part of witches vs patriarchy on reddit but I miss that subreddit.
Never used mastodon, starting to think I should make an account as I've abandoned dmy twitter

Nice to meet you both. News, politics, games and the climate crisis, unfortunately don't share a love of sport!

Ni,

Thanks! I'll have to keep an eye out too

From my perspective personal responsibility matters regardless of what other people/companies/countries are doing. It may be a small effort, but you will show other people that making change is possible.

But yes, I'm there in the doom spiral!

Ni,
Ni avatar

It would! I'm not the right person to start it so hopefully one crops up organically.

Ni,

In the actual tin? Or cooked separately?

Ni,

Never tried in the tin but beans and sausages are a classic combo

Playing cozy games at the moment, so potion craft and cozy grove. All bought on the steam sale!
