I honestly didn't know that until I joined Substack and saw for myself.

I get that there's no such thing as a perfect online community, but FFS...people reach out and post things hoping for some kind of engaging reply -- a human connection -- and it's deflating when all you get is unkind responses.

Now I remember why I wasn't so keen on returning to Lemmy. I thought I really missed this place and the people here, you know? I do remember it feeling almost like home for a while, filling that void I felt when I left Reddit during the API exodus. But I see there's nothing for me here, and it's time to move on. Thanks for at least replying, novemberw@lemmy.vg.
