It's not about downvotes. It is about me not wanting to spend my free time on something as pointless as arguing politics on the internet. Generally extremely unfulfilling and I feel like I lost out afterwards.

Like I get why people enjoy it but for a lot of people it is mainly a negative experience..

Femboys and the likes of the likes of the likes of the likes of the likes

Well that went well.

Ah shit I think you are right. Feels like I have had it forever but seems that was a false memory of some sort.

I bought it while I lived in my previous apartment which I feel was longer ago and so I got a bit confused with the dates I think lol. Thanks for pointing it out.

I think you are missing the point of using an e-ink device.. I don't think anyone would use one because of "how powerful" it is.

I don't want to read for hours on end on my phone or computer. With this, I can turn backlight off and use a lamp, like a normal book. Better for my eyes and relaxing.

Also, having dedicated devices for certain activities will change how you interact with them when using them. If I read a book on my computer I am tempted to look things up, get some work done or play a game. This is just for leisurely reading, and so when I pick it up that is what I do with it.

If you read a lot (books, not documentation which requires looking things up) then it really is a lot better for your eyes and a better experience to use e-ink.

Been using an Onyx Boox Nova 3 for maybe ~~8~~ 4 years now. It runs android, drm free everything (edit: it has no store really, it is basically empty. Supports virtually any filetype you can read. Epub, pdf, mobi, cbz). For some android could be a distraction from reading, but the browser is slow enough to were you use it to hop on annas-archive, get a book and then quickly close it. File transfer via shared wifi or USB, good reader, some nice reading stats without needing any account. Recommend if anyone wants to jump the amazon ship.

Yeah, but at least I can make a grilled cheese unlike that other dunce Gordon

For the moment, I just don't engage in political discussion on Lemmy. It is way to extreme for me in general. It makes sense tho that those who don't feel their opinions fit anywhere else (or get them banned etc.) gather in a place that allows for freer discussion, which I think is a good thing really.

And also just posting about niche music makes me happier than getting angry online so.. That's been a good motivation.

Nice. Any chance my existing spotify accound could get banned or something? I want some QOL changes but am afraid of losing ~400 playlists..

Yes I figured but wasn't sure if I wasn't missing something lol. Well at least I learned a new term (defederated).

When I say decentralization I refer to the fact that it is federated. Not sure what you mean.

I have never gotten into twitter so I couldn't say, and I narrowly missed MySpace as well..

It was a lot of fun tho

It is a neat place, thank you!
