I've always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

SPOILER: It’s the sleeping dude.

Just kidding!! Welcome to Lemmy.

Haven’t read all the comments here but I hope some are of welcome. This is a safe space for lovers of goth tiddies.

804 upvotes is epic in this land so all I can say is there’s your welcome.

I feel dirty any time I lose my spine and peek back at a favorite Reddit sub or two. It’s so gross now.

I’m still figuring this place out myself.

It’s a journey. Again: welcome.

Nothing wrong with looking at niche content on Reddit, it just doesn't exist here. However I recommend doing what I do- don't interact, don't even vote.
