Wallets are shrinking, so it makes sense that people would spend their money on something that's more likely to hold value, or last past 5 years of daily use. I got my M1 MacBook Pro for the same reasons.
@JustineSmithies in a way, i am sad to see Reddit go, but only because it was really formative for me as a young autistic kid living on his own for the first time. i was so embedded into that site, i had even met most of the founders. i met some admins. i saw the darknet market subreddits come and go. what a journey.
edit: forgot to mention, i had been on since late 2006. so, the digg exodus basically.
I run:
- Matrix
- Mastodon
- Pixelfed
