I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I think it's the shorter race duration and the smaller track that makes it easy to take in all the action. In real races, super fast cars on long tracks look slow on video.
The subreddit I was active on is still going strong, albeit with less interested mods. I think the impact of us leaving depends on the types of subs most lemmies used to be on. I don't think anyone from the sub I was on left reddit.
Interesting observation. I've noticed men I know that go to church found relationships and marriage, but they probably would have failed in the tinder-verse. More anecdotal, not a scientific study, so take it with a grain of salt.
