I hope that "Go back to Reddit" doesn't become a recurring jab used against others in the fediverse (kbin.social)

Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It's not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.

It's interesting to witness that anxiety happen. It'd be cool if people learned to just enjoy the chaos of newness - especially since none of this is life or death, after all. We're not having issues planting our crops for the year or something!

I sort of tie all this to issues of distress intolerance. Challenges with self-regulation that are larger than the hiccups of an online platform. I totally get the frustration of something not working. But then there's what you do with frustration, right? Managing it. And, even, learning to transmute it into excitement and fascination at the new. The latter is what I see a lot Binners* doing and it's a large part of what I'm enjoying here.

Oh absolutely, people get way too invested in this stuff. I was on reddit for 10 years and if it went offline tomorrow it'd be an inconvenience but life goes on. I'm going to lose even less sleep over kbin or lemmy, if I stop enjoying it I will just leave and try to find some other chill community to engage with. Something always pops up eventually, but at least try to make the best of it while you're here, yaknow, it's exciting times.
