And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

… And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)

    Yeah, that’s the thing… I think back to some of the communities I used to be a part of decades ago, and the size of them… I miss those communities. I’m ready to return to a smaller internet.

      Same. I remember back when forums were more of a thing (they weren’t perfect) as were dedicated servers for multiplayer games; both which had their own smaller communities which actually worked well.
