  • Same here. I feel Reddit changed for the worse so slowly that I had completely forgotten what the glory days were like until I came to Lemmy. I forgot that there was actual discussion in the comments rather than the same ten lazy comments ad naseum.

    I’m kinda surprised Lemmy is losing users since it feels like there is more engagement since I joined earlier this year.


  • Sorry for the very late reply, but I’m hoping you’ll still get this: Find movies where you feel like you’re in the minority for liking. Then find critics who feel the same way as you. Root through their review archives till you find at least a couple other films where you both agree on fringe films. When you’re done you should just have a couple critics left. Read them consistently and hopefully one or more will be your long term go-to.

    This is how I found my absolute favorite critic, Walter Chaw. The summer X-Men 3 came out alongside Live Free Or Die Hard. Both got similar RT scores, but I hated XM3 and loved Die Hard. Decided that any critic who felt the same as me would understand me. Was one of the best decisions I made.


  • My schools had a zero tolerance policy for anyone involved in a fight for any reason. I saw a few kids suspended for clearly defending themselves. My father gave me regular talks to let me know that so long as the other person attacked first he’d fully support me defending myself however I needed.
