I thought with all the drama and negativity it would be good to take stock of some positive things people got from Reddit. One of my faves was reading Woody Harrelson’s crazy trainwreck AMA

      I always wondered how people do this. It seems to me the odds are so low to run into somebody you connect with on a deeper level on reddit or the like.

        I definitely lucked out :)

        Most of my friends came through the /r/WWEGames because we were creating characters and making a show from it (ultra nerdy!), and my wife and I met because I replied to one of her “I want to make a friend” posts on a friendmaking sub, and we started messaging off Reddit after a day or two. It’s rare, but given I was on there for 7ish years, I guess the odds increase over time. :)

        I feel already like Lemmy has much better community-feel, like I’m not fearing an angry person all the time when I comment! Hopefully it stays this welcoming :)
