  • 10 years last July almost 400k karma. I’d like to say I left for all sorts of noble reasons to do with awards or API, but mostly I just left because Lemmy is a nicer space to hang out in and reminds me of my early days on the internet with BBSs and the like. On Reddit as an older woman we are constantly made aware it’s not a space where we are really wanted, though there are a lot more of us on there in our own little niches than I think a lot of younger male users realise. So I’m here hoping Lemmy will continue to feel more open to everyone, and if it doesn’t hell I’ll start a server for us old farts.

    Meh. Only one party wants to take away my rights or stop my friends from getting married because they’re both women, make birth control illegal, kill people for performing in drag and let 12 year olds get married. . Your idea of “just as bad” is a little strange.




  • I’m leaning into the theory it’s someone in power in Saudi Arabia. A member of their royal family is heavily invested in Twitter, owns shares and fronted Elon a big chunk of money for Twitter and they would surely like to crack down on social media in pretty much every middle eastern country, what with those pesky women protesting by not wearing their hijabs and protests and riots happening over there in the past decade. The first thing they do when there is trouble is shut down twitter, shutting it down permanently makes things easier for them.










  • Lemmy is it for me. I lost too much time to Reddit. Reddit was like a fire hose, way too much information coming too fast to be useful for anyone that did want make it their full time job to learn to handle it. I like Lemmy, it’s like my garden hose, I can turn it on, get a nice flow of information and turn it off when I’m done. I look forward to the day when Lemmy is like a hose with the new fancy nozzle on it with 9 different flow patterns and a thumb control, but I have faith the aps will get there, in the mean time I can drink from the hose and not drown, it’s nice.
