A strategy that has worked for me: very quickly browsing all new, just looking at community names. I barely look at the posts, just make a quick decision if it sounds interesting to me. I’ll check the sidebar and decide from there to subscribe or not. I’ve found dozens to follow and a bunch to block lol. It’s cleaning up my feed pretty nicely and my home page has a lot of content now.

o fuck what if im ralph

That was my initial instinct, to be judgemental. Then I asked myself, how does this impact me? It doesn’t. But if I was rude to them, as you are being, that would impact them. It would not make them give up their identity, it would just add negativity to their day. So let them be who they want to be, it doesn’t impact us in any way to let them exist as they choose.

Alright, cool dudes. As a sufferer of DID, I’m glad you don’t deal with the disorder part.

How did you hack your brain to do this, and why did you intentionally give yourself DID?

This is unrelated and meta: is anyone else unable to see one of the comments on this post? I tried logging out to make sure it’s not just someone I’ve blocked, but still couldn’t see it. I tried making a post on lemmy.world about it but it won’t go through at all

Thank you, I just read your comment about how we grow as we grow, and it reflects my sentiments exactly. I really like the way you write, it has harmony. We can’t expect others to feel how we feel, and being full of rage won’t move us in the direction we want.

I understand where you’re coming from, and I’m glad you made the move to lemmy. I myself came from Reddit just a few days ago and I have no plans to return. I also understand being frustrated by people not wanting to leave Reddit, you are right that it limits the potential of communities on lemmy, and it sucks. I’m not saying people shouldn’t talk about how they wish more redditors would leave.

For me, I’m just sick of the vitriol and hate that is all over this thread. People seem genuinely furious at the notion that not everyone is willing to join their crusade. I’m not sure if you’re justifying the vitriol or just the sentiment that people really should leave Reddit. If justifying the vitriol, your comment kind of reminds me of formerly fat people saying “I lost weight because I was bullied for being overweight, therefore it is actually a good thing to keep bullying fat people. I’m actually doing this because I care about their health, they’ll feel so much better and be so much healthier when they lose the weight!” Some people respond well to being mocked and shit on, most don’t. It just isn’t helpful and for 99% of people it just fuels negative feelings rather than a drive for change.

Jesus, this is the energy I wish was left behind on Reddit. People staying on Reddit does not impact you in any way, why does it enrage you to this extent? Who gives a shit if they continue to subject themselves to ads and bring under the control of a corporation? They don’t care, why do you? It is a waste of your energy, and the sheer toxicity of calling them dumbfuck cowards, saying they’re as bad as spez, is just ridiculous and pathetic.

Maybe I should switch to a smaller lemmy, if this is the vibe redditors want to bring to lemmy.
