  • I used to use reddit constantly, and did so for years. That level of hostility took over so gradually that I didn’t even consciously notice. I used Lemmy for a few weeks before it really sunk in that nobody had jumped down my throat over a minor, irrelevant issue (like a careless punctuation or grammatical error).

    People here tend to give each other the benefit of the doubt, which had become virtually unheard of on reddit. Even when people make replies I don’t agree with, they’re usually discussing the point rather than the way that point is presented.

    I will never, ever go back.
















  • I completely agree with everyone who’s told you to do what you love. I do have a question for you to consider, though: is sculpting really the problem, or is it the academic environment (with all the rules, pressure, judgement etc. that you’re dealing with). Classes can suck the joy out of anything.

    I don’t want to discourage you from changing your path; I just want you to be sure that you’re being honest with yourself.
