Sure? You are on Lemmy after all.
/joking. Or am I? 🤔 VSauce music plays
Yep, dropped Digg for Reddit. Dropped Reddit for Lemmy. Will drop Lemmy for something else if I end up not liking it. 😎
I did Slashdot, Reddit, Lemmy.
Oh yes - I was on Slashdot and I'll throw in Fark. :-)
GameFAQs, TOTSE, 4chan, 99chan, imgur, Reddit, Lemmy is my redemption arc
You were on imgur before reddit? What was it like? With all the posts without context?
It was weird. I actually paid for imgur back in the day, when you could. You would scroll randomly through images which I later learned were popular or Reddit. There was a simple, linear comment chain. The nested comment style of reddit confused me. I was on imgur for like 3 years before I tried reddit.
Imgur says Ive been a member for 13 years.
You now have enough data points to estimate how long until Lemmy turns to shit and you need to migrate again!
It started shit, got way worse and is now kind of hanging in a limbo that has the chance for progression.
The admins seem to be alright though.
Maybe something where people don't put shit like /joking because they're petrified of downvotes
Where is that place?
That's the question, Horatio.
4chan?
