Whenever I see that I’ve received a reply here I get a little dopamine hit and I think “oh man, time to see what my fellow chapos think of what I’ve said!”. This is even true when I’ve been arguing for veganism. Sure, there may be some disagreement, but it probably won’t be super, dishearteningly nasty.
By contrast, every single time I see that orange envelope on reddit I tend to feel a little pang of anxiety and my first thought is always “oh fuck, what did I comment on again? Am I about to get some literal hate speech thrown my way?”
So yeah, thanks friends! Someday I may even ditch reddit for good because of you, and my life would be better for it.
I already ditched Reddit. I only use that garbage to try to pull people here. Reddit blows. o7
Good call! I’ll probably do the same someday, because it is garbage, but, like I said somewhere else, not a lot of people here play FTL, you know?
Real talk:
I love you comrades. Truly. I’m more hesitant to post here because im worried I’ll be found out as a lib. I’m still on my journey and decolonizing my brain and I just hope you all understand and tolerate me.
Couldn’t agree more, especially with the point on vegan discussion. Can’t wait for /c/vegan to be created. Also can’t wait for this place to generate enough content to completely pull me away from reddit. I’m already finding myself on there less and less everyday.
Woo! Fellow vegan! I’m glad leftists are so open to the idea, it’s great!
I would totally ditch Reddit. But those hyper focused communities with years of information are hard to find on the internet. So if I’m searching for anything, Reddit is usually good starting point.
But yeah I love it here.
The orange envelope that delivers the racism directly to me.
