Ask Lemmy

I feel it, but to me it's kind of positive.

Like, I can belong to a social group without being bombarded with nonsense that is just noise meant to distract.

It's the same kind of liberation and control I felt when switching to Linux (since you mentioned it) - one decision, and the entirety of Windows drama is no longer relevant to me. I'm part of a much smaller, much more concentrated group of real people, in a sort of blissful silence to which I only admit the information and people I find worth my attention.

I made a community for survival horror games because I like them and like talking about it. Build it and they will come. Make a community to talk about things you like and those with similar interests will join.

We did have a Luka to the Lakers over on !nba@lemmy.world

Just saying.

I’m exclusively on the fediverse, I don’t feel disconnected from pop culture at all. There is a lot of politics and meta discussion, I’ll give you that

There are bajillion other sites where you can wallow in mainstream pop culture and consume whatever slop that has been deemed as sufficently advertiser friendly. I am here to fly my freak flag high.

I dunno I barely know what people are talking about anyways even when using reddit or twitter because most of my interests are aren't that mainstream

I mean, post the content and people will come? I think a lot of people would have commented on these things if they saw the thread

I specifically came here because I was uninterested in the pop culture chat that I was seeing in my socials. I want to talk to more people in less mainstream nerd culture

Hmm.. maybe? But I'm ok with it. All those things in your second paragraph are things I'd never care about anyways.

DAE is what? I know, but i need reminding.

That's why I'm here. This week, I learned who Kendrick Lamar and Drake are, and I feel stupider for it.

It's not like Reddit stopped existing. Lemmy will (hopefully) never be Reddit. That means that some itches Reddit will still have to scratch.
