Ooh thank you! I will give it a go, because I have heard it's a classic but never bit the bullet :) thanks!

I haven't! Thank you, I will give it a go, I've pretty much gone ham with PKD, and asides from Greg Bear and the usual almost sci-fi stuff like George Orwell, so I would love to have that moment again :) Thanks again :)

Trackballs! You speak my language :) Thank you for such an in depth, sourced write-up, that's incredibly helpful, I'll definitely check it out :)

I downloaded my comments/posts, then nuked with powerdeletesuite. :) Kept my account open, purely so that I have control over it, and Reddit couldn't un-delete without me having access to it.

So far, I miss knowing wrestling news as it was my main source of that, but... Meh no don't miss it much at all :)

Thank you! I'll give those a look, as I love trying different programs out! :) Especially when you can see them building and growing, I find that so cool.

Boost was my gold-standard for reddit, so I'm looking forward to that moving to Lemmy :)

They really have - it was a huge place that felt like a community, with no-nonsense access to knowledge and creativity. It's a real pity how it's gone down. I hope there's a shift towards human efforts like Lemmy and Mastodon :)

Moderation is based on what server you're rocking - run a place if that's what you need :) However, being moderated is keeping the Nazis out - I have no problem with that. :)

I would immediately present to you how much of an anti-racist Lemmy was - Wikipedia's page expands on it in the personal life section. :)

It is also the case that these open platforms don't need to grow to become a behemoth that absorbs the internet - they might be better for being niche.

And I can go back without the app crashing! :) Very happy that's resolved for me, and with a neat gesture to boot :) Thanks, I didn't even see that gesture was added, it's really useful!

It's the same with Pro Wrestling! There's a couple of small subs, but SquaredCircle has all the news in a tidy place

That's me! :) I made an account on Lemmy out of general interest in foss projects, and am now a resident. :) The only thing I have noticed so far is more civil conversations and a much less stable app compared to boost (currently Jerboa crashes whenever I press back).

I batch-nuked my Reddit history, comments and posts, but kept my account open so that it doesn't get necromanced by Reddit and I lose control of it. I can't say I miss it at all - occasionally I've got curious about the odd thing and looked, but it's surprised me. :)

That's interesting, as I remember not being immersed in Disco Elysium the first time I tried it too! I found it pretty tedious, but eventually the plot lurched forwards after I'd done a few main quests, and I wound up playing it all night sometimes! :)

Damn I miss being able to play a game through a night until the sun comes up, that was nice :)

Hehe I know exactly that feeling! Honestly I found the same with Skyrim, GTA5 and Witcher 3 - I can't imagine spending 100+ hours on a game like that, knowing I'll probably not finish it! I know it's irrational but I'm the same. :)

I loved Disco Elysium and Life is Strange 1 because I truly did feel that I left no stone unturned in my playthroughs - it felt very "complete" and had such a satisfying ending that didn't leave me wandering around a progressively more empty hand world.

I guess that's a type of game preference - I love watching other people play big games like that, but can't do it to myself as I feel it's never "done." :)

And yet... I'll play a wrestling game for probably hundreds of hours, knowing fully beyond unlocking everything, there's a game I can't "finish" - weird really! :)
