    By the time I was born, checks weren’t in regular use here anymore. I’ve never seen one in real life. I’m 27

        I’m also in my 30s and I’ve used a bit over a hundred checks. Mostly for paying rent.

          As yet another 30-something year old I’ve never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?

      You probably do not know b/c reddthat has downvotes disabled, but people are downvoting your comment.

      I find it the height of irony that your comment, which is relevant and contributes to the conversation, is receiving the “*I* personally do not like this idea” treatment.

      A comment that aims to provide a more balanced perspective, to round out the discussion beyond “things should be the way that I am most comfortable with”, and offering not only logical facts but very relevant personal experience.

      Reddit Lemmy can be so toxic sometimes. :-|

        I like the lack of downvotes, it’s nice. I get to focus on arguments being made. If someone wants to tell me they disagree, they’re going to have to actually tell me
