The highest elevation was Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton (~7,000 ft and ~2,000 meters I think). Highest mountain however would Algonquin Peak in the Adirondacks (5,114 ft and 1,558 meters). Definitely my favorite mountain, it just looks like a huge slab of land. Lots of scrambling around the rocky peak with a great view of the surrounding mountains.

Reminds me of Rufus Scrimjore or however you spell the minister from Harry Potter.

He’s my answer as well. I’ve been listening to them for seven years and I feel like he’s only gotten better.

FedEx is the absolute worst, it’s amazing that I feel a sense of dread just by looking at who ships the things I buy online.

AliExpress is the best place to buy electronics online. If you know you’ll need some stuff, just place an order for a few dollars, wait a month, and have your cheap eletronics for as long as you need.

Reddit started to feel extremely consumerist after the mid-2010s, which I always kind of assumed had to do with the general demographic of users largely being people having disposable income for the first time in their lives. It’s hard to describe exactly, but there was a general feeling of fandom around specific corporations that just felt weird to me. I’d like to see more distrust of corporations in general here.

Reddit also felt very Centrist to me, with discussion being this golden ideal. I have no time for discussions with people on the right pretending to argue in good faith and people eating that up.

Also, as someone who doesn’t know much about China or have much love for it, the Sinophobia in unrelated threads was weird, too.

So far most of these have stayed away from Lemmy, but I see some creeping up here and there. The communities here seem generally good at keeping them down, though.

Edit: I will add that the consumerism was also probably driven to some degree by companies figuring out they can use Reddit accounts to drive public opinion of themselves. While Lemmy is smaller it should be free of this issue.

Reddit burning its bridge with Apollo’s dev probably sealed the deal for me. Beyond handling things poorly, most of my time on Reddit was on my phone via Apollo. I highly doubt Christian ever works with Reddit again even if they did completely pull everything back.

Things have been pretty good here, I don’t see any reason not to stick around, and there isn’t anything to make me go back. I’ll probably check hockey news on Reddit occasionally, but I can’t see myself being active.

Maybe they’ll also find a different joke than “arch btw.”
