I lived in my parents’ basement for a little over a year after college. During that time I had weekly (give or take) dreams that people were coming downstairs to watch me sleep. Often accompanied by sleep paralysis where I wanted them to leave so bad but couldn’t do anything. Terrifying stuff. That was 7 years ago and it hasn’t happened since I moved out.

OP asked for my thoughts, I gave my thoughts. I’m sorry you think my experience invalidates yours.

I have seen the word normie used in almost exclusively sarcastic or tongue in cheek contexts.

I’m using Liftoff, I like it a little better than Connect which I tried for a day or 2. As far as I can tell, most issues I’ve experienced are related to lemmy.world and not the app.

Once Sync is released I’ll reevaluate but I’m good for now!
