Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

There was a news story that just broke, and I'll admit I briefly hopped over to an r/ sub to eat popcorn and watch the reactions unfold. Guilty pleasures are hard to break sometimes. Lol.
That aside, yeah, I agree. Have been spending way less time over there where it's like trying to have a discussion in a crowded cafeteria / auction house. Everything here is just more chill.
Only problem with these alternatives
Reddit had actual knowlege like r/askhistorians and niche communities on every topic imaginable who's going to participate in a server for the Movie Threads and how much of these servers are going to have discord servers?(new to Kbin)
Made an account on here years ago when I first heard of lemmy, finally started using it after I heard they were killing API access. Haven’t been on Reddit since. :)
You know what? YOU'RE WELCOME BRO (or gal)!
I've been easing into Lemmy over the past several months. I would visit without an account, and I more recently made an account. The things I'm seeing from reddit were very disheartening even months ago. What I saw today with how Reddit is painting the Apollo dev as threatening to them is sick.
I also just really like the vibes I get from the people here.
Happy to be here as well. Hopefully we can see beehaw grow to be great!
I deleted my Reddit app and replaced it with Jerboa just recently and I think it's for the best.
I've pretty much only been there to spread the word about Lemmy.
... And because muscle memory causes me to immediately type in "re" when I want to go to a link aggregator.
I accidentally opened it for a minute today, but honestly I can't say I miss it that much either.
I'm pretty new here myself. I've already started to migrate myself off of Reddit completely and start engaging here more. So far I have to say that I'm loving this community as well. Definitely seems to be more inviting here. At least I can post right away without having to have a certain amount of karma or whatever. This is kinda refreshing!
Reddit was the last corporate social media site I was active on. I'm not going to delete my account right away, but now that there are actually people here, I don't really need it anymore.
Now to figure out how to successfully host people here.
