The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people.
I once saw Yo-Yo Ma perform at a Borders book store in Boston.

For the Love of God, Stop Microwaving Plastic

I really would not do that, just given what I have read (that the plastic breaks down when heated, which is what the food would do).

Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
I was an active Digger and Redditor in 2006-7 then migrated fully to Reddit post digg-tastrophy. I’ve honestly found it hard to stay away from Reddit but the existence of Lemmy world and the fact that I just discovered they took Aaron Schwartz off the list of cofounders is strengthening my resolve. Thank you all for being here.
Edited to add - I have no intention of returning to Reddit. The average person has precious little they can do to change the tides of fortune, but one of them is to consistently vote with their wallet. In this case, our attention is filling their wallet, so I remove my attention and clicks.

Do you ever despair at the apparent lack of regard for the "social contract" by so many?
I just went to Japan and Korea, and seeing the difference between there and here (US) is jarring. You’d almost have to go there and spend some time immersed in it to pick up on the many ways they cooperate and help each other - from the government, to safety regulations and equipment, to the day-to-day interactions. We could really learn something from them.

I have been known to helpfully retrieve it for them with a “here you go, you dropped this.”
