Ask

I lurked before there were subreddits. Only ever used the site. Had an account for fifteen years, right up until the API debacle, which started as a protest and became the last straw. I was unhappy with the site for years before that, thanks to, y'know, fascism.

I had Lemmy picked as the best-looking alternative, around the time reddit blocking meant 'you can't see me, you're locked out of this thread, you can't edit your comment, I get the last word for free, and the site will lie about why nothing works suddenly.'

I initially went to LW... but enforced civility is a failure of moderation, and uneven enforcement is downright intolerable.
