Idk I'm happy I'm off reddit. I use kbin, but significantly less. Less mindless scrolling

dang same I'm way more engaged here and I spend less time it's a huge win win and it just feels healthier

I love reading and writing, replying and interacting. The quality of discourse around here has been excellent so far, the right kind of people have migrated here.
Fully granted that there are many topics in which I'd love to see more activity, but the space is young. Neither Rome nor Reddit were built in a day.

Also, a way to keep track of conversations, an unobtrusive notification and a direct link to the spot in any given thread.

This platform is infinitely more healthy and feels much more like old reddit to me. New reddit is like anonymous Facebook and I have no use for that.

Right? I think I've downvoted a grand total of a half-dozen comments here in the last month. On Reddit, I'd be handing those things out like candy.

I actually deleted my main account on Reddit a few months back because the toxicity in any comment I posted started to weigh me down (even in the r/Australia sub, it became clear that a lot of people there likely weren't Australian).

I've noticed things have degraded even more there in the past week, and in the Aussie subs, most of them have gone fully toxic.

The worse part is when you can't even call someone a cunt outside of r/Australia. They act like I've stolen their first born or something 😮

Idk, I acknowledge it must be a pain in the ass to know whether you can call someone the equivalent of "dude" or not, but I feel like that one's fair. When you recognize something utterly mundane is a high insult in someone else's culture, you kinda stop using it towards them unless you intend the insult.

I sure as shit wouldn't just drop the honorifics with a middle eastern/asian stranger or walk around their house in street shoes just because doing so is unremarkable where I'm from.
