Here I am “supporting the local restaurant” but already am sitting at -20 points in an hour for stating my experiences.

On reddit there are more posts I wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and more opinions and people to talk with. There aren’t dozens or hundreds of people here discussing very niche hobbies, places, or events on an hourly or daily basis like there are on reddit. I buy the hamburger at the local restaurant when I can, but when I need a graphics card delivered next day, my mom-and-pop local computer store that sells to senior citizens has never even heard of a 5090.

Some of the sprites look so identical that I cannot even point out a difference without going back to the original game to look.

Disagree, as somebody that started on reddit 15 years ago who now browses Lemmy daily, I still read and post there more because there is more content and discussion.

People that say otherwise are living in a Lemmy or bluesky bubble
