How would you even use discord for that stuff? It sounds way harder than just using the proper tools.

One of my classes had us design our own 8 bit processor and assembly language. It was a lot of fun designing it. It was like a little puzzle to figure out how to get features into those limitations

I think Java’s verbosity has more to do with the culture than the language itself

There’s an appeal to having limitless content, but it does become addictive. Having a slower pace is a good thing.

I left Reddit shortly after the spez’s AMA before I found Lemmy and for a week I did feel a little out of touch since I didn’t like the feeds on other social networks or sites. Lemmy gives me that feeling of being up to date with the internet without being endless which I think is much healthier.

I would much rather have fewer more engaging conversations than the circus Reddit was. Sure it had more conversation but sometimes that felt more isolating since every comment became transactional noise. Really hoping I can find the sweet spot on Lemmy!
