She's right. It was hysterical.

I will join you in the celebration of no roaches.

I try to reserve downvotes for things that I think have negative value. If I simply don't like something, I ignore it and move on; just because I don't like it doesn't mean that it lacks value for others. If I don't understand something, and it's important enough for me to act on, I'd rather have a discussion and learn.

I'll downvote posts that don't fit the purpose of a community, or which were clearly posted to start an arguement. I'll downvote comments that are insulting, inflammatory, or otherwise malicious.

Is the Rubik's cube a normal item for you to be carrying, or is it a recent thing? How many times have you solved it?

This is extremely well put-together. Much more useable than browse.feddit.de. Thank you for this! It should definitely be included in any guides for getting started with Lemmy.

I thought it was just my social anxiety flaring up when I had new notifications. I never really thought about the fact that I was also avoiding negative replies. It'll be interesting to see how this goes here.

I like the community. I'm hoping that Lemmy doesn't turn into the cesspool that parts of Reddit became. I do have to refresh the page to see my posts and comments, but I imagine that there are some functional difficulties with scaling the platform to accommodate all of the people coming from Reddit.

As someone who always felt very overshadowed on Reddit, I'm looking forward to contributing more here.

Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!
