I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

for me it's less about Lemmie being a reddit replacement, and way more about getting the fuck off of reddit. I found I was seeing the same crap, same comments... I found myself arguing with people I'd guess were about 14, being insulted by people who didn't actually want to talk, just fling shit.. then hey, another video of a car accident yay... hey another video of someone yelling at a retail employee.. hey a video of someone falling over.. and this is after I muted about 40 subs.

just done with the site, and the api debacle was just the perfect time (it also coincided with a 10 day holiday on the coast, so when I got back I just never went on again. its been great).

I've found that I'm allowing myself to get bored, which means I'm allowing myself to be creative again. on the flip side, I'm not seeing pictures and videos of ignorant and aggressive people harassing and attacking other people

I guess with popularity comes the full force of "not so desirable" people

So many teenagers on Reddit. And every time I got in an argument with one and found out, I ended up feeling like a fool for arguing with a child.
