What is your favorite color?
Greed
Is that a shades of grey reference?
Why?
I'm giving up Catholicism for Lent
I'm giving up moderation for Lent. Woooo!
Hell yeah, welcome to Lutheranism, where our motto is “sin boldy!”
I was raised Methodist. Have a casserole.
Methist
Just these two platforms in particular or part of a wider thing?
Considering dropping off social media wholesale myself.
Just these 2, but I might give up more later
Do you like Yerba Mate?
Never heard of that
It's a green "herb" from South America, with an active ingredient :P
We’ll miss you
It's been over a year, are you finished your break, and how was it?
I just finished another break (commenting in the lemmy dev ama was an exception). Last year it felt hard. This year it might have been too easy a little bit.
Did it feel like reddit changed a lot in that time? Or you just got used to not being on it?
Reddit and lemmy didn't seem to change that much. Maybe I got used to not being on it, but probably not. The alternative sources of stimulation have changed a lot in the change to adulthood and being at college. Also I'm now remembering that this break felt hard for a little bit in the beginning, so now idk if it got easier.
What's been the toughest sacrifice you've made for lent?
I don't remember any Lent sacrifice harder than Reddit and Lemmy. I started fully practicing Catholicism again in April 2023 (best day of my life), so it's been a long time since I did anything for Lent.
What will you do meow?
I will continue contributing to Lemmy and enjoying the tears of Steve Huffman
I left Reddit after the api debacle, it wasn't too hard for me, but I'm mute if a lurker anyways. I do miss some of the reddit communities that i haven't found here yet, but it's be been mostly an easy switch for me.
How long will the break be, exactly?
reddit. wasn't that a thing in the 2010's?
