One of the few subs I actually miss.
/bonehurtingjuice exists on here, but it’s like 1 post a month instead of an endless stream of stupid bullshit humor that hits just right.
I also miss being on a platform that has the community for whatever game I might be playing at the moment, from popular ones to niche-as-fuck. Even CDDA’s subreddit is still more active on reddit than Lemmy.
I was bitter about RiF but it didn’t really sink in that I was not returning until I realized it was all just in bad faith. No point in going back somewhere that doesn’t respect third-party apps or its own users. All the developments since then have made that very clear.
It’s a bit disappointing that most of the communities for specific content are so inactive on here, but I still prefer it to the types of banal, waste-of-time, repetitive content and comments that plague reddit and have caused my eyes to roll in a tailspin.
Do I really have to choose one or the other, though?
Whenever I used to go out anywhere or do anything social, I’d always be constantly, quietly hoping that someone would come along and fall into my life. That I’d pass by someone that looked like they could relate to me, or that would try to talk to me, or be attracted to me. Anyone that would change my life for the better. It was lonely as fuck to constantly want something unrealistic every single day that never happened, for years and years.
Then I met my future wife, and I nearly forgot that pain ever existed.
