Yes I enjoy it here so far, there’s a few hotheads but I guess that can’t be avoided anywhere. People seem genuinely interesting and interested in cool stuff, so it’s really my jam. All that stuff is just so beyond my, interest I guess. I love doing things with computers, making art, editing photos, games, I can make some simple web pages and put them on a host, etc. Fun stuff. Now it’s all… I dunno lol. I never got into phone apps to begin with so I think I was lost from the start. I like computing on a full computer. Honestly any algorithm besides chronological sort is junk to me, like you said it can all be gamed so it’s just all so dumb.
Oh yeah I totally get it! The only reason I’m in the “know” is because I work in IT. I used to love computers growing up but uh… Now that I do it for a career, I don’t have much interest in computers as a hobby. I used to lie at work in entry level positions saying stupid shit like “computers are my life!” Because I thought that’s what I needed to do to “fit in”. But, these days I’m just honest. When I get off work I don’t fire up my gaming pc (don’t even have one), I fire up my grill!
Glad you like it here! I’m pretty new myself. My only issue is there’s not much traffic sometimes but what makes it so “real” is how empty it feels sometimes. You know people read your comments instead of getting buried in thousands of bot comments.
