  • I wasn’t really raised into religion - my mom was a believer (Honestly not sure if she still is, I’ve picked up hints that may have changed), but she never once went to or brought me to church, we never talked about religion, etc. I think she got enough of that stuff when she was a kid.

    I do like to go all-out on decorating for Christmas - just last year I spent a whole lot of time setting up and coding my own tree full of individually addressable RGB LEDs, in addition to all the other decorating on the interior of the place.

    Despite that I still love saying “Happy Holidays” to anyone who gets bothered by that phrase. 😁




  • Whenever they put that “Dear reader, if everyone reading this sent $X, etc” notice at the top of an article, I send whatever the amount they mention in the notice is.

    I’ve only ever noticed it like 5 times since I started doing that a bunch of years ago - not sure if that means they don’t ask that often, or if it means I don’t visit them often enough to always see it.






  • I’m having an easier time sticking to it and not visiting reddit than I thought I would. The first day was pretty sketchy with 90% of the posts being about Lemmy, reddit, or twitter - but since then it’s been giving a more enjoyable experience.

    It probably helps that I’m making an effort to post and comment, which I never really did on reddit.

    As Lemmy grows I’d like to see more niche communities take off, similar to how there was “a subreddit for everything”.

    I do have a big wishlist for site functionality changes though. A big sore spot is that youtube videos and text posts can’t open in-line on the front page.
