MODERATORS
Surprisingly not hard at all. I helped build tools for moderators on Reddit that were used by millions. When the API changes hit, it completely destroyed all of my work. I have no interest in dedicating my time casually or seriously to a site that treats me that way.
I’m a habitual person but switching to the fediverse was like trading cigarettes for a vape. Same addiction, different delivery, more flavor 😛
Delicious story
That’s the best analogy I’ve heard. Thanks, I’m gonna use it. And thanks for building mod tools since I probably used them.
As a former mod, thank you for your service 🫡
isn’t vaping worse than cigarettes?
No

Thanks! Where I’m from legit vapes are banned and all we get are disposables (under the shelf) so that’s what I was referring to when I said vapes are bad.
No,but its still addictive.
guys I’m obviously not saying this in context of reddit-lemmy. i’m just asking, please don’t downvote.
Hello, just want to chime in.
The only way to know the difference is to feel it. Once I started vaping my lungs felt clearer, I stank less, and spent less. I weened myself off of nicotine by reducing the content down every couple months to nearly nothing then began leaving the vape at home so that I wouldn't vape at work during breaks. Then spent days forcing myself to do other stuff to distract myself to kick the habit for good.
I wouldnt call it a healthy alternative. In my opinion it's an avenue to quitting. Disposable vapes are much worse and more addicting which made me falter a bit.
Haven't touched tobacco or vapes for a few months now.
You are awesome - well done on kicking it.
Thank you!
@Cannibal_MoshpitV3 @consciouslyoblivious Honestly, super impressive that you stick with it and kicked the habit. Nice fucking job! Couldn't have been easy :)
Had a dad who could not quit and I grew up around second hand smoke and hating the smell despite begging him to quit for years.
Thank you, and yeah the smell arguably was the worst. I grew up around smokers as well
There’s still a core of easily offended people who ended up here on Lemmy. Kinda sad, but that’s humanity.
