Yeah I'm only one person here, whatever, big deal.

Anywho, it's annoying to me that I'm inches away from leaving Lemmy because it's instability right now is getting bothersome to use it. People have told me that there are other instances but the dealbreaker for me is to use yet more logins to use them, some of which may take time to get into because some lemmy servers have a review team that has to look over some things before allowing you in.

Then, from that, it's wonderful to run into and be confronted by shitty people who behave too similarly to the assholes I'd run across on Reddit. With their dishonest takes, participating in bad faith, their brigading and all that. We're supposed to be, mostly, done with this Reddit shit but I feel like overtime, it'll just all be contaminated with Reddit shit that we don't need more of.

I've only been on here for over a week and my hopes are considerably low. My only options right now is to simply once again go back to Reddit and just tolerate the shit there while wishing death on the nobodies that spend their waking hour on just shitposting on others for their own cynical amusement because their mothers forgot to swallow.

And the other is to just simply water down my usage of the other social media platforms that I am on because this whole social media thing is getting stupidly silly and ridiculous as it is.

Yes, I think a different service would suit you better, I do recommend you find something more to your taste.
