    Because fuck spez that’s why. Deleted my 10+ year old mod account back when they killed Apollo. Haven’t been back (and don’t plan to either).

    Reddit refugee. After Spez spazzed out, and I couldn’t use Sync anymore, I was gone.

    As for this second? Same reason everyone is here. On a break looking at a phone.

    EDIT

    Also, my first post! Also, fuck /u/spez

    I came here because of the reddit strike. I am one of those idiots that used the official app anyway but i did not like the way they handled the change. I changed to lemmy and after a couple of days I deleted my reddit account. I actually don`t remember when I had this much fun exploring a part of the internet. I just love the community. Sure there could be more content and especially discussion in the comments but I take the slower content generation over the toxic cesspool most large online communities have become any day of the week.

    I’m shy but I still have the human desire for social interaction. Written communication with anonymous strangers strikes a good balance between avoiding shyness triggers and fulfilling that desire to be social.

    (Shy probably isn’t the right word. I have no problem giving a formal presentation to a room full of my coworkers, but I won’t initiate an informal conversation with a coworker in the break room.)

      Because we are just a bunch of weird strangers that have limited time of existence so we feel free to share our genuine opinions about the absurdity of life, while maintaining anonynimity hidden behind a username.

    Because Reddit got boring af. And annoying. Spambots everywhere because of API shutdown.
