I'll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.

Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.

Yeah, whereas I used to have dog food shipped from Amazon because it was cheap and convenient, now I pretty much only do it for the convenience, because it's priced the same as Petsmart and Petco.

Nah, it was a last-minute gift for her mom, and my wife didn't want to go empty-handed. The bad guys won that day.

My wife bought a Keurig coffee maker on Amazon for a Christmas gift. When it arrived, the box was mailed directly from JCPenny.com. I looked on their website and the coffee maker was $35 cheaper. We learned our lessons about dropshipping and only looking at Amazon for products.

Keep fighting the good fight OP!

Wow, maybe Elon is the only person capable of getting Republicans out of internal combustible engines and into electric cars. Welcome to Bizzaro World.

It's crazy. I loved Digg until I had to go to Reddit to get the experience I loved once Digg began it's enshitification. Now that Reddit is experiencing enshitification, I'm coming here. I hope this is the next iteration of the pure experience that I'm looking for.

Maybe they should copy what Bernie Sanders is doing. He's not even running and packing out town hall meetings. Who knew being against oligarchs, authoritarians, corporate cronyism and for the middle class would appeal to people?

I saw a r/YSK (You Should Know) post about Lemmy today and was curious and had some time . I'm intrigued.
