It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

        I have used it for 25 years. I never loved it. I don’t love operating systems anymore than I love hammers. I have 5 hammers.

            I have three and don’t love any of them. I didn’t pick them myself they just sort of showed up.

              I have one regular hammer and a tiny little hammer for putting up picture frames that makes me feel like a wuss every time I use it, so I just use a rock I keep around instead.

              I held a framing hammer once and that was a hammer and a half. I haven’t earned the right to get my own though, so I’ll just appreciate from afar.

                Oh house frames 😅. You mentioned picture frames then a framing hammer, and I was thinking a framing hammer must be small or the picture frame very large!

            Those are rookie numbers! Need get a few more.

            I’ve got at least five. Why? Each one has its own advantages.
