I think you make GREAT points. I came here from Reddit, realized that it’s becoming reddit, but not as popular.
Now I am on reddit as much as I am on here. And way more productive information on Reddit since it’s so much better.
I just don’t see Lemmy growing very much, because it’s become a smaller Reddit. Especially .world. That instance is fucking toxic and full of tattletale babies that will legit follow you around if you disagree with them. lol
It was around long, long before Marc Anthony. Also, you are being way too cynical. It’s really just saying that if ya can, you should try to make a living out of something you are passionate about.
Yes, there are people who love what they do for a living so much, that they never wanna quit doing it. I am one of them. I own my own company.
Think of musicians, or actors. Some of them legit love what they are doing and never wanna stop doing it. My grandfather owned an Antique store. His entire life was that store and even when he was in the hospital, he was trying to get back to his Antique shop ASAP. My father was same way. And it’s probably why I own my own company.
