WheresYourShoe

I reread books all the time. I have several I go back to regularly from my preteen/teen years. It’s like watching a movie from your childhood, lol, nostalgic and comfortable. I always pick up new/forgotten tidbits .

There is a check box for “show bot accounts” in settings, which I unchecked after blocking one of them, lol.

I blocked the lemmit bot and I haven’t seen as much. I think it’s silly. If they person who originally posted it on Reddit is now in the fediverse and wants to share their old posts, they can. Otherwise, I’m not a fan.

🤣🤣 This is most entertained I’ve been online in a long time, lol. I don’t know what you’re doing, and I hope you’re taking care of yourself, but thank you for all the laughs.

I was going to ask how to get an invite, but if that’s how it is, I’ll stay away. I love how positive and friendly it is here and Lemmy.

I think you guys have been doing fantastic so far. The only trouble I’ve had with the fediverse is getting into beehaw. I just get the spinning wheel of death.

Anyone complaining should either help, or shut up.

Same, except Android here.

I appreciate you being active here, answering questions and checking people’s account status. I’m sure you all are slammed!

I’m not complaining, but it did feel like an interview to me. But that’s just my anxiety talking. I haven’t gotten logged in yet, but I’ve heard there’s a backlog of accounts to get through that have been approved. High volume of applications causing issues, I’m guessing. But I don’t think the three questions is a bad thing for beehaw to require. If you can’t be bothered to put in that little amount of effort, then you probably won’t actively contribute, with comments or posts, so what will you bring to the community? Or if people give negative/troll answers, it keeps them out.

Yeah, I definitely did feel like it was an “interview” and if I answered wrong I wouldn’t get in. I still get the spinning wheel, but I’ll check back tomorrow. I’ve read in a few places now that a lot of accounts have been approved but are essentially in a queue. It should hopefully be caught up soon.

I honestly found myself browsing Facebook more and more over the past several months, rather than Reddit. It just wasn’t holding my interest like it used to. I was a Reddit user from summer '07 until June 11th, 2023, but the switch to the fediverse was easy. I’ve really enjoyed the last few days here.
