That was my favorite app, I need to get that asap.

I almost never watch stuff outside of YouTube and the like. If I really did wanted to watch something, its likely an older show that I can just torrent.

Once a day, I feel like trash if I even skip one day.

Tho honestly I often wonder if twice a day is optimal. I always feel great the few times I take it twice, but when I only take it once, I always wake up wanting to shower immediately to get the oil off.

Man I can only dream of a new pixel having a headphone jack. And ain’t no way I’m getting off grepheneos.

I just use reddit for basic news on specific products I’m looking forward to, and the occasional time I need to search a specific question on it.

After trying out Lemmy, I used a script to delete mass edit/delete all my stuff in reddit, deleted the account, and never went back. I find no enjoyment in commenting on reddit anymore so it was an easy decision.

I agree Lemmy has a long way to go, but I only see it getting better from here which is enough for me to stick with it.

Now that you mention it though, communities do kinda feel empty. Not as in a lack of users/content, but that theres nothing in them that try to promote discussion like “weekly discussions” you would see on reddit. Its more or less entirely some random post by someone, or a news post.

As someone who only cares about news and the discussion around that news, Lemmy satisfies me pretty well. But for people who want a more social experience (probably most people), Lemmy begins to fall apart quickly.

Right now, I think the memes community is really the only active social one.

When I can’t buy it in a reasonable way lol

Simply wanting to save money is a valid enough reason to pirate. The only time you should have any second thoughts is if its a product you REALLY want to see more of or if its made by a smaller group that could really use that money.

Even then though, you can always help without spending money. Easiest way is to spread the word.

You enjoyed that game?

Tell others its a good game worth getting. In many cases, that might help more than buying the game and saying nothing about it.

Yeah steam does it very well. On stuff like the switch, the prices are so crazy I immediately go hack my console. But in steam, prices were so much lower to the point in which I never thought about it.

I only recently started doing it when I noticed some games block you from playing offline.

Same, I tried lutris but it just wasn’t working consistently. Bottles is both easier and consistent for me.

Lutris still got them scripts tho for specific needs.

You will get downvoted in any disagreement, that’s not exclusive to reddit or Lemmy, that happens in any social media with downvotes.

The purpose of downvotes is to show what the general people in that common section think about your comment. You shouldn’t give any hoot about it other than the info it provides.

Obviously, if you are talking in controversal topics or ones with conflicting sides, you are gonna see alot of downvotes. Its just people expressing their opinion.

Echo chambers are just a natural part of communities. People often come to feel validated so they stick to ones with the same thoughts as them. I don’t recommend trying to argue/discuss with people who only want to “win” cuz there’s nothing to gain.

Talk with those who argue because they want to learn or understand something better. (or perhaps help you learn something new)

Pretty much any trait that awful people usually have. I feel these kind of people are pretty easy to spot usually.

Lacking basic manners, can’t be bother to do small things that can help others, greedy to a point that hurts other and is OK with that, only looks at people as tools/resources, only argues to win instead of to teach/learn, and the list goes on forever.

It becomes a lot harder to despise people if they don’t have any of the usual awful person traits.

I do hate it when people ask to ask though, that always annoys me to no end. Just tell me what you need help with lol
