I think zoomed in pictures of your pet is the funniest genre of pet pictures out there. Share your photos, I love to see them!
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
As an Iranian, yeah sounds about right. The Ayatollah is so full of shit
