Because spez was being a dip shit. Other than that, yeah, idklol
To spread the word about the ultimate beverage: WATER
so… what is it? is it really safe to try?
but it’s so dangerous; everyone who drinks it dies. lol
This is just one of Big Soda’s lies. Everyone who had drank water and died, had also breathed air. Oxygen is also toxic, so I think, that conclusion is obvious.
Big water lobby in this thread rn. /s
you must only consume piss
No one whoever drank piss died because of it
dont fall for Big Phallus propaganda
Haha makes me think about the old HydroHomies subreddit and what it was originally called
Water N-[Redacted]
Saw the whole fiasco of Reddit unraveling and then went to Lemmy. Seriously fuck Spez and how he treated the developer of Apollo.
Found out about it from Reddit, and it seemed better in several ways, so I tried it out.
More friendly, for one.
I’m a bit less extreme about it than many here. But, in short, back when Reddit made sweeping API changes it immediately gave me ‘the ick’ and so I sought less centralised platforms. Lemmy is the closest thing I’ve found to people just hosting their own message boards like back in the early internet.
I’m a big fan of decentralized platforms and I love the concept of ActivityPub.
That said, I still use Reddit and have recently started to really enjoy BlueSky, so I’m not militantly against the corporate platforms or anything.
Finally, I just like the natural selection things like Lemmy and Mastodon have for those who are naturally more techy and nerdy.
Because Reddit is a shit hole from which no intelligent life will ever escape.
But we escaped…
I’m afraid it means, that you are stupid.
all of us
Because reddit shut down my favorite app.
I’m still using BaconReader thanks to reVanved.
Say what? Bacon reader still works?!
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.

I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.
Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).
Corporate greed puts me off.
Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.
Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)
I don’t have an issue with “toxicity” as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the “BBS/Usenet format” to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don’t participate much though.
For BSD and Unix community
I was here before the Reddit API kerfuffle, because I care about an open and decentralized internet.
Found the hipster
Same! I was hoping for a while that there would be a fediverse version of reddit. And it’s succeeded beyond my wildest hopes. Other than the misinformation, but I suppose that’s a problem everywhere.
i dont have anywhere else to go
For an actual community. I was tired of Discord and Reddit.
