Mate we're all a bunch of overly excited kids with a cool new toy, once we're all here for a few weeks and the magic wears off these threads will die down, just give it time and let people have about their new toy

Oh god, that reminds me of something that happened a few years ago!
there's a road in my area that is the only road that leads to a college, so it was pretty much the road with the heaviest traffic in the area, it was in bad condition for years and there were always talks of fixing that road. Covid comes around and the college is going completely remote for about a year and a half, which is a perfect time to work on the road but no work is done, on the first day the college reopens they start to work on the road.

I want that sentence on a t-shirt!

That's still true for a lot of druze I the Golan heights, and while it doesn't have a drastic effect on their daily lives, traveling abroad is an absolute nightmare

This was back when I was in the military, I finished my shift, went to our dormitories, pissed with the door open while someone was taking a shower and went to my room, found out I sad in the girl's dormitories.

Look mate, I get you, but I also get your friend, I used reddit pretty much the same as your friend, just lurked, didn't used any third party apps, but I saw things go to shit and decided I want none of that, and let's be real, the site offed itself a while ago, the people that moved to lemmy and kbin realized that, and where techie enough to adapt to the new environment. Some people on reddit will realize that sometime, some won't, and that's perfectly fine, they will either adapt to the fediverse, move back to where they were before or stay on the decaying site, but whatever they, and your friend do, there's no reason for hostility, especially between you and your friend, the deed had been done, and now we get to rebuild our communities in such a great way that we couldn't ever imagined over reddit.

This is horrifying, this is straight up blaspheny

As opposed to subscription based Palestine! Also, if you want to be more precise in your activism, this place was never part of Palestine ;)

שיהיה לך סרטן בזין, שיהיה לך סרטן בביצים שלא תוכל לזיין

And another for the furries in the crowd

No, actually, I used reddit just to pass time, never really engaged in the community, and without this whole debacle I wouldn't have found out about lemmy and the fediverse as a whole, which is really exciting and a new part of the internet (for me) that feels like a breath of fresh air after years of everything being so centralized around very few companies, I'm getting a vibe of the internet from 15-20 years ago, exploring the wild west of the internet.
