1 year agoFound out about Oracle’s free VPS offering, which I’m so excited about! I’ve always wanted to learn more about system administration, and everything going on with lemmy + reddit has been kind of the perfect storm for me to experiment. I’m hoping this period of general optimism about this new platform stays for a good while longer.
I share the same sentiment—and I can’t tell if it’s because it’s the newest, shiny thing and most of us feel like we’re on some frontier of something greater, but I do feel like we’re valuing each others’ input a lot more than the Reddit baseline.
I realize that’s kind of antithetical to what you were saying earlier in that there’s an end-all-be-all kind of comment, but I’d like to think that it’s because we’ve all matured a bit during this time and that this fediverse kick is enough to shift our thinking to remind us that there is an individual behind each of these posts, and there really shouldn’t be comments that shut out most avenues of conversation.
This has gotten ranty, but I’d just like to close off with the pettier thought that we’re all just being slightly chattier than normal simply because we want to drive content away from the alien site. Either way, I hope this sentiment continues.
