    Idunno, I feel like they certainly fathom it to some degree. They have an awful lot of funky little predator evasion techniques for an animal with no fathom.

    That whole schooling thing is a bunch of fish going, I know they like eating us, but I’d rather they eat YOU.

    I do agree that they have no conception of humanity, just that sometimes their friends get raptured away by something that makes a boat noise.

    I have to remind myself that I’m in Ohio, and that nothing happens here, especially the hottest seven days in human history, I think we barely hit 90s this year. They happened somewhere. Not here.

    So of course, I wouldn’t understand why all the hateposts about summer. It doesn’t kill people here. Winter does. Winter has black ice and doing a clownfall onto the back of your head that kills you or breaks a bone under (inconsolable weeping) American healthcare, so yeah, if that stuff doesn’t happen to you in winter but summer hits 100F I’m sure you think summer lovers are crazy people.



  • I’m really not interested in this being a Reddit clone. Several of the subreddits I wanted to be rid of have already popped up, here, while the better side of Reddit isn’t really showing up, especially since Reddit re-opened and purged pesky mods so they could all get back to their scrolling.

    Oh, yes lawd, that’s what I need. I need fucking antiwork to shit up the place with their misery vibe while 196 goes skipping back to Reddit and takes all the fun times with her. Sign me up.

    I wanted to become involved with a completely different community, with different mores, a different feel, and its own vibe. Fuck Reddit. I left that place looong before the blackout thing, I got tired of its toxic culture that sucked the life out of me after a few minutes.

    Now that’s starting to leak into Lemmy and I’m frankly eyeing the door.

    If you liked Reddit, you need to go back there. I didn’t like Reddit. I don’t want to go back there. I don’t want there to come here, either.

    The joy of the Fediverse is that growth is nice but we don’t NEED growth. A lot of you can’t understand that. You can’t understand that the platform will NOT fail if it doesn’t get the kind of exponential, runaway growth that you associate with social media success. We do not actually need to hit TikTok numbers, ever. We need steady, slow user growth from people wanting something different, that’s what. If the Fediverse becomes the Linux of social media, fine.

    So no. No to this idea. Let Reddit stay on Reddit, thank you.
