Don’t forget to bring a towel!

Only replies to the original post will ever be at the top.

“Break the loop and you break the chains.”

Nobody actually said that to my knowledge but putting quotes around it lends some legitimacy. 

I apologize and I wouldn’t want that either lol. That thought is scary and that meeting would end up with them talking about how to hide my body.

You’re right in that the analogy is way off. Here’s the only way it would make it right, is if your new date also wanted to vent about your ex. That’s probably not the case. But being a Reddit refugee is something in common for many people on Lemmy (especially right now) and so it makes perfect sense for people to talk about it.

Also, I don’t give much thought to the posts I scroll past…

Bad analogy, it would be like meeting up with all your ex-girlfriend’s other former partners and all bitching about that shared ex because you have that thing in common.

A single character emoji could easily be a typo as well.

Everything is an opportunity cost. That is, if you’re engaging in YouTube you are missing out on something else. It’s fine if that’s the choice you want to make, but understand that you’re “missing out” on hanging out with friends or reading or video games or calling a family member.

The doomscroll is all there is. The good news about that is that anyone can emulate it.

What got replaced already was the oligopoly on user-created content. That’s all that matters.

This is like asking someone to check in on your ex, sure it sounds like a good idea, but…

I mean lemmyshitposts on Lemmy.world is where I’m seeing the most but I’m new here and don’t really know how to write that out.

Let’s not be so quick to rush to judgment there, eh?

Wholesome AF but I agree. It’s my first comment using wefwef anyway, maybe 2nd or 3rd on lemmy? I was going to reply “this is the way” to your other quote lol. But you’re spot on, and honestly, anyone who disagrees probably underestimated the number of young folks on Reddit, Digg, etc. in the first place. I’ve been on the interwebz since IRC days and showing new folks how to act is the way you build communities. It doesn’t matter how old they are and nobody would ever know if they were lying about their age anyway. Cultivate good hoomans. Soooo tl;dr cheers!

As should we all.
