Is reddit melbourne starting to become a lot like whingepool? It's like the vibe has changed over there.
Seems like it. All the cool peeps migrated here.
Maybe moderation has been reduced as well. Like there were 10 posts about the shooting star, when previously they would all be merged, and posts closed.
I'M NOT ANGRY BUT IT WASN'T A SHOOTING STAR IT WAS A RUSSIAN STARLINK DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ATMOSPHERE
How did you make your writing go really big? # is it this?#
Edit: no it isn't. Am on mobile as usual, so if it's a keyboard thing then I probably can't do it.
JUST REALISED IT'S NORMAL CAPITALS BUT LOOKS BIGGER THAN USUAL JESUS CHRIST ON A MOTORCYCLE I MUST BE TIRED!
YOU CAN MAKE IT GO REALLY BOLD by using ** asterisk and no space **
Ah, thankee!
What’s the subject at hand?
Mainly general content. For example, I'm now noticing that there's a lot more angry motoring enthusiasts, if anything about driver behaviour / cyclists is being discussed.
People just seem angrier.
I don't see how that's possible. I left reddit when my app stopped working, and I was surely responsible for 90% of posts telling people to get out of my way.
Congregating angry people definitely not a fun time 😐
We can't avoid the helicopter/loud noises gang here though, it seems... 😒
@Pilk @prime_factor *raises eyebrow*
This is the Fediverse. I'm hoping that the random Twitter-esque moments that we wonder who else local experienced something become a default here, as there is a strong geographic focus already with instances being distributed and located all over the world.
