MODERATORS
You know I think a lot of us get so wrapped up in the lack of traffic on this site that we overlook this particular benefit. There are several usernames on Lemmy that I can, not only recognize, but also associate a bit of a personality with from the interactions I have seen and had on the fediverse. I think that's a pretty neat thing to experience amongst the huddled masses of the Internet in 2024.
That's why I feel pressure to add to conversations or content. I'm so used to no one giving a shit.
I also don't always feel like I have anything worth saying, but I suppose maybe other people could find worth in it.
This is exactly why I love it here, which is weird because it's exactly what I hate about living in a small town irl 🤷♀️
It’s like an optional small town, which is the best sort of small town. Or like a Minecraft realm you shared with your friends. Or Animal Crossing but multiplayer. So many analogies!!
