  • It reminds me so much of my 70/y old mother-in-law not immediately knowing how to work a tv remote and shoving it at me after 1.5 seconds saying “here, I can’t figure this out”. When in reality all she had to do was press the fucking big red button…

    It’s not just you, the one who is helping us, feeling like this. It’s us feeling like this too… or atleast I feel like this.

    Suddenly, I’m no longer the technologically sound person that I used to be. I’m overwhelmed. My hectic schedule and paucity of free time is not helping the case, either. There’s just too much to read about; figure out… Took me a good hour or so just to create an account. Then another good few minutes to login, when it asked “instances” or something that I wanted to login into.

    It’s quite different from what I’m used to. I’m feeling as though there’s so much that I’m being forced to learn. And I’m annoyed, extremely annoyed, that I’ve been forced to leave the one place I used to enjoy. I miss the content that I used to enjoy on reddit.

    People like yourself, ones taking time out of their day to help us, are really a boon right now. For days (really, a couple hours spread across days), I searched for alternatives to reddit. Tried to read and grasp a couple of guides before I made-up my mind to take that plunge.

    I see where you’re coming from. And all I can say is, maybe once people get into the head-space to finally migrate, they may be more open to learning. They may still rage a bit about it - I know I am. But they may be open to learn.

    Just want you to know that these guides and helps are most welcome right now. Thank you for helping us.
