  • Not necessarily. If you have a lot of experience or a different perspective and you seem trustworthy to me, you don’t need to have a good argument. On the other hand, if someone else comes along with a good argument why your opinion is wrong, I will start doubting you.

    For example, if you’ve been growing potatoes for 30 years, you don’t have to explain the biochemistry of potatoes for me to respect your advice. And if you’re a black person telling me that our town is terribly racist, I will believe you without needing a list of every single racist incident that happened to you.





  • They’re awesome! Being 100% clean instead of 75-90% makes a world of difference. Plus, you can keep browsing Lemmy or even brush your teeth while the toilet cleans your butt.

    You still have to use toilet paper to pat yourself dry, but much less than before and you can buy the cheapest and scratchiest half-ply garbage, it doesn’t matter. There are also models with a built in blow dryer, but it takes ages, so I never use mine.

    Only downside is that I dread leaving home for more than a few days now. Using toilet paper feels so stupid and ineffective now.


  • I didn’t fully quit reddit, but I’m going to Lemmy first and foremost and rarely go back to reddit for very specific communities. My reddit usage dropped by 90+% probably, but I’m not completely gone.

    I’m sure the same is true for many other users as well, so simply counting the number of (active) users then and now won’t get even close to the actual loss in traffic and participation.
