the future sucks harder every fucking year, man

@bitprophet i was able to just lol and leave twitter but man... reddit is hitting me hard. haven't found anything even close.

lots of hours spent on reddit being like "oh there's a sub for a japanese style of woodworking that doesn't use fasteners" or whatever and just be fascinated for hours. the subreddits were generally small enough they seemed free from The Influencers and Creators that dominate ig/yt/twitch/etc. just 100% enthusiasts being enthusiastic

@bitprophet to be clear i don't begrudge creators and influencers their gigs. there's great content out there, but it feels more like major media than a community of folks who share an interest.

i remember going deep on a home irrigation systems subreddit once and it was incredible. hobbyists and professionals sharing tips and lols about home watering systems.
