It is a similar atrachment to the one you'd get to an old message forum. For me, it is more about the people and the super niche communities than about reddit itself. It is going to take a while to rebuild on Lemmy what was already on Reddit. In that regard, I am a little sad to have let it go, but oh well.

Reddit may still be there but how many great communities have been irreparably damaged by this move? In a couple of months it might be nothing but bottom-feeding content, repost spam and mindless videos. i.e., nothing of what made reddit actually great to use.

For me, I've been trying to get used to Lemmy, and the fact that it is slightly more troubleskme to use makes me want to engage with it even more.

Pouring one out for RIF as well...

Sure but these are also things I've put into my mouth as an adult. (I am not a very bright adult).

Two fans on a plank with a steering stick are pretty much the most cost-efficient boat you can build. You can try to get creative using a big wheel to make a paddle similar to a steam boat, but in my experience those don't work very well. Maybe a stabilizer could help.

That's exactly the reason why cars take away freedom instead of granting it. In a place with car-centric infrastructure where cars are the only way to move around, not owning a car or not being able to drive is absolutelt detrimental. Conversely, a place with good public transport gives freedom to all people, even those who are disabled by accomodating for them as much as possible. There will still be some people who don't have any other choice to get around than by car, but by diminishinf the amount of drivers on the road as much as possoble, their lives are made better as well.

Cars dependent people think they are free just because society has bent over backwards to provide them with the best roads possible and cheap gasoline that they can buy pretty much anywhere.

I hate oktoroks so much. They are not difficult by any means, just annoying while I am trying to do something else.
