“Sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a “hero,” because what’s a hero? But sometimes there’s a man who… well, he’s the man for his time and place!” – Sam Elliot (the Stranger) from the glorious The Big Lebowski
You know that classic quote about standing on the shoulders of giants (and pioneers)? Honestly, in so many ways, that’s how I truly feel about the good ol’ Fediverse.
So, to sum up-- who are YOUR heroes here, and what does keep you hanging on here, baby…?
Gods, I do not miss the dumbass circle jerk comments from Reddit. “I also choose this guy’s wife”. Just. Go away. Blech.
I see them very very rarely here, but they’re easy enough to ignore because it’s maybe one comment, not 900
And eventually someone adds “our wife”
The original was funny, but the permanent rehashing of old references demonstrates that reddit stopped producing originality a while ago. Makes me think of Halo… sigh
