    I usually really like seeing the little number pop up when I get a response on my comment, instead of dreading it’s someone trying to pick an internet fight. People are nice here. (Usually)

    But it needs more original content, that’s how Lemmy and the entire fediverse can grow.

      Same! I realized not long ago that I don’t actually dread the notifications anymore. I used to get such anxiety over the red envelope that I had already started thinking I was due for a change before the blackout happened.

      Okay, I’ll bite

      First off, I totally agree! People are my much nicer here and the little notification is often a nice thing.

      So I read a bit of your post history. I’m not the -most- socially aware but I’m assuming sans-proof you’re not actually Margot Robbie. So like … Why? Is it a promo thing? Weird quirk? Actually an actor doing “normal people stuff”? Do you actually use Arch(why?)?

        Is it a promo thing?

        I did do my movie promo here in July before the SAG-AFTRA strike started. (it’s all on my lemmy.world account) Then the movie did amazingly well at the box office, I thought maybe I found the hidden secret to social media success, so now I wanted to see if I can shitpost my way into finally getting an Oscar this year.

        Do you actually use Arch(why?)?

        A few years ago, I thought it would be funny if I learned how to use Linux and tell people that “I use Arch by the way” like the meme, so I spend a couple of hours and installed Arch an old laptop (it’s really not that hard, you just follow the directions on the wiki!), then nobody got the joke, so now I have this Arch laptop to play around with and type sudo pacman -Syu in occasionally.

          I had no idea who Margot Robbie was so I looked it up in Google images

          Guys, it’s that chick from Eight Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown

          Wouldn’t bother, that Joe Wilkinson’s been there, that’ll be minging

          I really hope you can actually shitpost your way into an Oscar and thanks for the reply potential-future-Oscar-winner-Margo-Robbie. I liked Barbie!

          That’s amazing, and the best reason I’ve heard to start using Arch. I kinda like that no one even gets it, and I’m always a tiny bit sad that package manager doesn’t make their loading bars pacman eating dots

          Of course I am, why would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Elise Robbie ever lie to you over the Internet?

      @MargotRobbie Yes original content and growing smaller communities are most likely ways to grow it further and we can only hope that other places like Reddit, Instagram, X / Twitter just get to the point the users do actually give up and look for something new / better.
