I went on to Apollo to basically see/look at what Reddit looked like, because I am curious.

I have a lot of filtered out keywords/subs and so my front page kinda looked like what I had left a few weeks ago. However I hopped into the comments for stickied threads and I read some of the weirdest comments. Talking about how the 3PA devs are the problem, that Reddit needs to make money, and how they’re happy with Reddit’s decision

It felt like I was reading a bunch of comments from cult members. They were saying stuff like “I’m Team Reddit” when talking about the devs vs Reddit. And a lot of the subs I would have expected to be closed indefinitely are back to normal. I expected that reddits activity level would be relatively the same, and I’m extremely happy with having found Lemmy and other people who share the same values I do

I don’t know why I posted this, I think mostly due to getting my thoughts out there and talk to others about this. When the Apollo decision was announced, I kinda found myself “touching grass” more often. I stopped using reddit and started riding my bike outside or lifting more often. Lemmy and YT didn’t fill up the space that Reddit took up, but I think I’m happier now that I’m touching grass and I’m consuming longer form content

I’ve rambled on long enough, so I guess my question to you is, what is your favorite ice cream treat/dish/flavor? I’m more of a M&M vanilla ice cream cone kinda person

    I’m very much a rocky road / cookie dough / moose tracks kinda fella!

    Reddit ramble: I nuked my reddit history of 16 years (as of this upcoming July 10) without thinking to download it first. I was a bit saddened at first, because I realized that my reddit history was about as close to a diary as I had kept from the time I was a high school senior. Given digital footprint and whatnot, I’m sure it’s mostly for the best that it’s all in the ether now. The now bare profile is a decent if bittersweet deterrent keeping me from hopping right back onto that site. But! I did remember that I had another handle that I used as my primary for a handful of years (got locked out of it, so I went back to my original one), so I have those vignettes of myself to look back on.
