What I love is when someone hears that you don’t know who these people are.

“What?! You’ve never heard of Henry Cankersore? From ‘Trimble’s Jive?’ What do you mean you’ve never seen it? That show was my childhood, especially the part where Johnny confessed to eating Zaphod’s vintage cake pop collection.”

Then they tell me I need to get out more.

My final comment was a join Lemmy link, so at least one of those people banging at the gates is my doing.

Good question, I think that depends on your phone/settings. If it’s just silencing, probably not as to the caller it will keep ringing until VM picks up. If it’s declined, that may go straight to VM and the caller may notice a shorter ring and connect the dots.

When I was 12-13, I had a period of time where I absolutely could not cut through a pepperoni. What I did was to move the slices around before baking, however. This is the work of a sick mind.

Yeah, I definitely miss the idea of what Reddit used to be. But it’s just the platform that’s dying, the people are still around and it looks like more and more are jumping ship. Perhaps the niche communities will migrate, as well.

I’m just dipping my toes in as well, but I’m glad to see others with enthusiasm. I don’t want to see my favorite communities die out just because the CEO of the site went off the deep end.
