I used to lurk like crazy on reddit. I had a nearly 12 year old account that mainly had a few comments here and there months apart, and only a few posts but ever since moving to Lemmy I’ve found myself actually posting relatively frequently to help build some of the smaller communities I’m in that have also migrated.
Oh wow, had no clue Lemmy had that layout as a feature as well, that might actually get a couple converts out of my friend group.
I haven’t deleted my account just yet but I joined reddit 12 years ago this month, once RIF went under om the 1st I stopped visiting the site altogether. I have friends that still regularly use the site, mainly through old.reddit whom I’ve told about Lemmy but just aren’t quite ready to switch over and that’s their choice, due to the amount of content still on the site I can’t necessarily blame them, but I just can’t in good conscience give reddit the traffic now that they’ve gone full twitter in their corporate decision making.
RFK Jr. Is an openly Anti-Vax misinformation spreading conspiracy theorist who believes vaccines cause autism, regularly equates standard public health procedures to the damn Holocaust, pushed the use of Ivermectin for COVID in his book from 2021, and claimed that Chinese and Ashkenazi Jewish people were not affected by COVID because it was target white and black people. Regardless of his foreign intervention or environmental views, he’s a propagandist nut case who’s family openly shuns him. His father and uncle would be rolling in their graves if they could see who he turned out to be.
I have to agree with this one. I got premium way back in 2015 when it first came out as youtube red, my reasoning at the time was since it came with Play Music, no ads on youtube videos, and at the time cost the same as a spotify subscription, I could have the same music library I was already paying for PLUS youtube without ads every 10 seconds and access to youtube red exclusive content, Mindfield by Vsauce and the Rooster Teeth movies at the time, I was getting more for the same 10 bucks. I was sad to see play music go but youtube music letting me add songs to my playlists from videos on youtube if the song itself isn’t directly in the streaming service is pretty cool and I’ve been grandfathered into the same price, so I still pay the same $10/mo now that I did 8 years ago. Only subscription I’ll ever actually tell anyone is worth getting over just using an adblocker instead.
I picked up photography back in May which just started by getting an old point and shoot digicam to take convincing liminal space photos, then I got another… then another… then some film old cameras, a cheap DSLR a set of lens, etc. Etc. It’s become a full on addiction at this point lol
