    Here I am “supporting the local restaurant” but already am sitting at -20 points in an hour for stating my experiences.

    On reddit there are more posts I wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and more opinions and people to talk with. There aren’t dozens or hundreds of people here discussing very niche hobbies, places, or events on an hourly or daily basis like there are on reddit. I buy the hamburger at the local restaurant when I can, but when I need a graphics card delivered next day, my mom-and-pop local computer store that sells to senior citizens has never even heard of a 5090.

      1. Stop giving a shit about fake internet points, they literally mean nothing.

      2. “Its dead in here” says person who never contributes anything except to complain how dead it is.

      I will say that joining an instance that does not federate downvotes confers some very real mental health benefits.

      All I see are your 15 upvotes, friend. Don’t be discouraged from sharing your experiences.
