Microsplastics have already trickled down to balls. This is what winning feels like, folks.

Also, this place feels like exactly like early Reddit, tech savvy, close-nit, united but also divided.
That's very true – and a cool thing about Lemmy. I both hope that you're right that people will catch on and that it will retain a bit of that magic.
If there ever where a time for federated social media to catch on, I reckon it is now. Billionaire owned surveillance capitalism ought to be due for a backlash about now. And if not now, then I wonder if it ever will be.
Honestly, I almost thought it was a little daunting to set up this account – and I had already used Lemmy with another account on the same instance previously. I'm still not fully content with the mix of content I'm getting here (where are the text active only coms?)
Some hand holding is needed for non tech savvy people. And sometimes the similarities to reddit is kind of like faux meat substitutes – inviting unfavorable comparisons.
I dunno man, I've made it a point of pride to be rough with my Macbook over the years. They hold up well to repeated beatings and last a long time. I'd rate my 2017 Macbook Pro as hardier than the Thinkpad X1 Carbon I had as a company computer for my last job. And the MacBook might have been cheaper new too.
Thanks, that sounds great!
