people posting here are going out of their way to post – and it feels like every thought has more weight or sanctity or meaning when it’s being posted here, at the dawn of a new era and the fall of an old.

i’m spending more time actually reading and engaging with every comment, parsing the details and thinking about it, conceptually. versus just looking at garbage all day, garbage with a little bit of fentanyl in to keep you hooked

    I’m actually more inclined to comment, and engage, here than I would on Reddit. Here I feel like I’m actually contributing verses in Reddit where I’m just one in a sea of thousands.

      I was just saying this to a friend yesterday. My interactions here just feel so much more genuine, like I’m part of a real community. I just really hope it stays that way in the face of unforeseeable growth.
