Whoa! Rat buddy! What a handsome fellow

Oh yeah this one is amazing, this is pic is exactly why I love zoomed in pet pics HAHA

I too, am a simple loaf

As an Iranian, yeah sounds about right. The Ayatollah is so full of shit. With that said please be sure to be careful to not be racist. The Iranian people are all great people, it is the government who is evil.

Also an 11 year Redditor here haha.

I got my start browsing rage comics on iFunny and 9GAG, then began browsing Reddit around 2010/11. I finally made my account in 2012. I too watched as Reddit became overrun with bots. I watched as summer Reddit stopped ending and became the norm, people responding in comments with corrections and more information lessened, the obvious astroturfing increased, obvious propaganda took over almost all the defaults, and most importantly, they started shutting down subs that might possibly maybe make them look bad for an IPO.

They desecrated the grave of Aaron Swartz on spit on his name by removing him as a co-creator of Reddit. The cartoonishly evil decisions came one after another and I've had enough as well.

Voat didn't stand a chance because the people who were migrating over were lurkers.

I genuinely believe in Lemmy because this time, it's the mods. The people that actually keep the site running.

Fuck Reddit, fuck u/Spez, go Lemmy

The problem is not all conversations are either sharing an interesting link or deep conversations about life, the universe, and everything. What if I just want to give my opinion on a pie recipe I liked, but want to say more than "damn that shit was good!". Twitter stifles all forms of conversation, it's a site dedicated to one liners and quips. Even what I'm saying now is more than 250 characters.

I LOVE IT!

I love her big nose!!!!!

They just want to be the ones in power so they can indiscriminately shit on anyone. As a brown man I'm deeply uncomfortable. I'm seeing a lot of similar rhetoric thrown around after 9/11 that made my life a living hell for a while. Frick

<3 <3 <3

So cute!

ope, I don't know how it got turned upside down and don't know how to fix it :(

Heres another pic just for posterity

Very cool! Thanks for teaching me

I don't even like Bud Light, it's a damn shame such a mediocre beer became the focus of a silly controversy. I started buying it when I went on beer runs just to show my support haha

hey that's neat, didn't know you can embed images

ope, sorry for jumping the gun with a post haha

Oh god, I shouldn't have looked. Their idea of free speech is posting obvious propaganda and shitting on minorities. Classic

Frankly I'm happy Mastodon didn't become the leader in the fediverse. My main paint point with twitter was how the character limit really stifled long form discussion. Much more nuanced, complex conversations can be held here since we're not chained to 250 characters.
