You forgot yourself. It's three
Fuck spez
Poor impulse control
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.
Because fuck spez thatβs why. Deleted my 10+ year old mod account back when they killed Apollo. Havenβt been back (and donβt plan to either).
My discomfort while being bored
Definitely not procrastinating at work, honest
Doomscrolling
Trying to reinvigorate !superbowl@lemmy.world and !anime@lemmy.ml .
SuperbOwl migrated from Reddit but nobody was doing anything with it. I try to post at least one owl a day. Currently I'm posting one owl rescue a day for each US state so people can visit and support them in person. Today is #11, Hawaii.
Anime communities seem so dead in Lemmy. There was finally an active thread last weekend, so I wanted to try to start another one this weekend.
Cuz I got nothing better to do.
Reddit killed my app π
Looking at Lemmy so far I see no reason to return to Reddit, especially with them monetising karma and whatever that crypto thing is they introduced
especially with them monetising karma
wtf? what happened? I deleted my reddit account, so I'm ootl.
In some communities, users can give other users tips in addition to upvoting
You mean at the very moment? I'm waiting for my gf to come to sleep. In general? Boycotting Reddit and I still like to get my news curated
I'm not.
Because Reddit got boring af. And annoying. Spambots everywhere because of API shutdown.
Fediverse is a healthy alternative I don't need to feel bad about. I feel shameful and don't want to talk about it when I use Reddit, which I stopped using anyways.
Checking my Lemmy messages. I love going back and forth with people in comments.
As in right now? Sitting outside in the city center on a Friday night watching people having fun with friends and trying to feel the same vicariously through them.
Don't want to appear staring so I'm typing on my phone.
I really like the UI of the jerboah app
Reddit really
i was even using the official app but i switched to fatbird before going to lemmy
π© break
I prefer not to say.
Wasting time while I wait for my girlfriend to hand in her notice π she got a better job π
Rougly 43 seconds before seeing this post, I was looking to some really cool artworks and photography pieces, on dedicated communities.
Because I used boost for Reddit and I wasn't going to use Reddit without it. Now I just like the concept of Lemmy.
read some articles
Because I'm addicted to Lemmy. It's like [that other website] but much better! I can crosspost stuff to multiple communities and make things much more difficult to censor. Copyright cartel want to shut down piracy? You can't shut down all of our instances. π
Reading leftist memes and LGBTQIA+ basic tips for like daily life. Oh and the Autism/ADHD community tips, too. I'm pretty burnt out on commenting on news posts, and hope to make more original posts around culture and tech stuff.
bus ride home
right now? always
bored, slightly hungover. just scrolling through.
Mental outlaw/kenny.
Kbin, but Iβm bored and procrastinating
It's a whole new world.

Anyway mostly to screw reddit.
Interest over much how it's picking up steam in relation to the alien site. Pleasantly surprised!
Just passing time. That's why I'm currently browsing.
