It doesn’t help that i orderd it on the 2nd day of Chinese new year, so i wont see any action for at least a week.
I’m not a nerd. I’m a decentralization enthusiast. Also a reddit refugee.

For me it was how ludicrously cheap it is. I boug a razor for 40$ cdn and ordered a box of blades for 30$, this was more than a decade ago. Im almost done the box.
I printed some Captain Slug hyprs for my kids (and myself ofcourse) Super easy prints and lots of fun. Ive been eyeballing some of his bigger blasters for a while now too.
I placed my order for some radios to play with 3 days ago. Im unreasonably excited for them to arrive.
It’s only infighting because we’re all members of a living community. Other wise it’s just fighting
Ive been using duckduckgo for years. Ive had good results. I still call is google-fu though.
For me it’s like moving to a small town. Instead of a whole scene into each if my weird interests it’s just a few cool people. But thats just a function of population.
Sorry the o word bit was a dunp joke. I actualy prefer it over the usual coy alternatives like ceo.
Oooohh … he said the O word /s.
Seriously though, I think the best defence againt that is decentralization. It’s not just ok for this to not be THE reddit sucessor. It’s a positive good. Even more so now that I’ve realized you can follow most activitypub based things like mastodon from most of the others. Not only are none of the successors in completion, they’re in symbiosis.
As a reddit refugee the image and video viewer has been the only speedbump for me. That is other than not being hooked up to a firehose of content, but i feel that will come in time.
I’m happy to have influxed all over. Its been both welcoming and chill.
Edit spelling
Possibly “eastern standard tribe” by cory doctorow? Not 100% match as i remmber it but close. Good book even if its not the one your after.
