    All 10 of us here stand united on this most exquisite and elevated of horses!

    It’s so weird to be content with/amused by this situation. Feels like Alexandria was just built nextdoor, fisherman have started to arrived with massive boats and high-quality nets, and here we are, the old fishermen pushed off our original fishing site yet full of glee that we don’t have to pay taxes in Alexandria. It’s like, this isn’t really a successful venture, right? We’re not really thriving like we were in the past, are we? We’re likely never going to get anything like that back either, huh

    Idk, maybe my values just don’t give me enough internal validation yet, to feel good about it or something. The only consolation I see really is that I don’t think the time spent online is very worthwhile anyway. What I liked most was the community but it’s become clear most of that was never real

      It’s always the people with 0 post submissions complaining about this. It’s always someone else’s responsibility to create communities and find the content to fill them. Just imagine how much more active the Lemmy side of the Fediverse would be if everyone submitted one article, meme, video, or podcast, etc. a day in some niche community of their choosing. But hey, I guess shitting on the opportunity we have to start fresh is a lot easier than committing to contribute to the slow but organic growth of another news aggregate.
