I’ve yet to decide if I’ll use the same name or create a new identity entirely. But my addiction won’t let me just have nothing to scroll. I’m on lemmy because it’s less horrible than reddit or toktik.
There’s a podcast by two stand up comedians here in Estonia (well, WAS a podcast, now that Ari Matti is in the US and gathering international fame - no new episodes in months) where one of the very first episodes discussed this: Having a common enemy brings people together more than anything else they have in common.
“Oh we both went to the same school? Yeah, cool…”
“Wait, you ALSO hate that person? Of course you do, how could you not, they’re terrible… Have you noticed how they speak? It’s so weird…”
Thank you! It’ll be my last :(
Oh no! I hadn’t spotted the lemm.ee!
Are you migrating to another instance or just fading away?

Likewise, though I am constantly saddened by how quickly the community started “othering” one another based on instance.
It’s like if you put a bunch of humans together they’ll figure out a way to hate each other. 😕
