I’ve been here since the great Reddit Exodus and have seen some good and some bad.
What have you liked and disliked about being on Lemmy so far?
Do you see your usage going up or down?

There’s a lot of smart people here, but I feel you’re correct. There’s no need for smart people to show themselves when everybody agrees with them or they’re afraid to give a dissenting opinion.
It feels like we’re all knowledge workers. I fit into the middle aged, D&D playing, politically left, software developing dad demographic. It feels like most of the posters here check many of the same boxes.
As someone who is not, boy does it get annoying hearing shit like “just change jobs and you’ll get a big raise!”
Sorry for that, the software people tend to forget they live in a very comfortable bubble.
The funniest thing is that if people actually decided to “learn to code” as the common mantra goes, software types will be the first hurt as a surplus of labour in their field presses down salaries.
That already happened, at least where I live. I make only slightly less than an entry level dev as a tradesman at a grocery store. And all the dev jobs are in Vancouver where the cost of living is about 30% higher. But they’re not making 30% more than I am.
Well, you certainly have me in that list. I just feel the need to be correct for correct reasons, not just because it makes me feel morally superior. I frequently try to prove myself wrong as an exercise in keeping sharp.
