Gen Z slang for saying “get it together and focus”

I was a “Reddit is Fun” user for at least a decade

The impression I had of the US election based on it was completely out of line with reality

I’ve largely switched to Lemmy for the past two years, but this was really the last nail in the coffin for reddit for me too. It’s an enforced echo-chamber and no longer a reliable source of information. It’s hard to notice how bad things are when the politics are leaning in your direction, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it, and it feels gross.

Lemmy is obviously pretty politically homogeneous too, but the difference is that I don’t feel like someone is trying to trick me. Topics and and sources are clearly influenced by the individual posters’ opinions, but it doesn’t feel like there’s a coordinated behind-the-scenes effort to push an agenda, which makes for a better vibe.

It’s been cycling through my PC’s wallpaper folder for years. I always seem to read something new when it pops up again.

Hey, don’t sell yourself short. You’re worth at least twice that many sacks of potatoes.

The really dangerous thing is when something feels rewarding in the short term, but wrecks your life in the long term.

Hey, if you don’t mind, could you share that lemmy watermark?

I’ve been sneaking a little transparent Lemming in the corner of the memes I’ve made lately, but the text might be useful too because people elsewhere probably won’t recognize the Lemmy mascot.
