This may be something you don’t want to hear so please bear with me. I’ve been here since the reddit drama started.

There isn’t much engagement here. If you compare a post here to a post on reddit, there will be zero comments here and 100 to 1000+ on reddit.

Another issue is each instance has its own version of the same community. This isn’t a bad thing but it separates the comments and increases the reposts. If I’m scrolling all, sometimes I see 5+ of the same post with zero comments on each.

Another problem, it’s not inherently easy to sign up. There are hundreds if not thousands of instances. If the instance you pick shuts down or goes down for a bit, well… you’re SOL. I’ve lost two accounts on two instances that shut down.

Another problem, since it’s not mainstream, there’s not much content in niche communities. A lot of the niche communities that start up post a lot of bot content which no one engages with and then the community dies.

I still advocate moving over but there is a lot of work to be done to get the masses moved over.

I moved up to project manager and started working 55 to 60 hour weeks as the norm and of course it’s salary.

I grew up and have put my fair share of time in the trades. They do pay well but if you don’t get out of the field, you trade your functioning body for money.

The one thing I can’t wrap my head around is why everyone wants to work so much overtime. Even unions are rocking 50-60 hour work weeks and then claiming they treat you well. It’s looked down upon if you only want to work 40.

I just transitioned to Linux. Fully removed windows.

I’m doing my part!

Can we pull the plug on Trump already? I swear this timeline is a cruel joke.
