When I’d post on Reddit and started getting nothing but bots or trolls, or both I started to lose interest in it. The proverbial straw though was the API shenanigans. I used Bacon Reader on my phone, yes I know there were dozens of us, and the mobile Reddit app was crap.
So I did what any Gen’xer who was there at the dawn of the internet does… I searched for an alternative. Lemmy was one that kept popping up.
Been here ever since. Not sure how long ago that was no, 3 years? 4? I’ve slept since then.
