I very much enjoy it here. It feels like the first non toxic social media that has existed in terms of its personality. People seem friendly and willing to face discussion. It's also nice to interact without ads and idiots like Zuck and Musk.

If there's people there will be toxicity. Look at all of the down voted comments in major threads, it's just reddit with less people. Still a public communication platform.
Because itβs an outlet for my non-grumpy, cheery personality.
During the day I can be too serious, mostly because I donβt feel safe to express myself fully in public. So I use Lemmy to have some fun, leave a silly reply if I feel like it and post some nice images.
I havenβt done this in years. Before, I spend most of the time just lurking around. It feels good to just let go and be myself with strangers :)
because I'm taking a shit
I don't even know
read some articles
Rougly 43 seconds before seeing this post, I was looking to some really cool artworks and photography pieces, on dedicated communities.
It's a whole new world.
thanks for that. now my brain is πΆ π΅ πΆ π΅
It's a magic carpet ride
I prefer not to say.
Wasting time while I wait for my girlfriend to hand in her notice π she got a better job π
Apollo stopped working and Voyager scratches that itch.
Gotta get those stimmies
It was during the mini-exodus, gotta start somewhere
Wasting time and I fucking hate reddit
Interest over much how it's picking up steam in relation to the alien site. Pleasantly surprised!
just signed up, i'm here to check things out π
Can't sleep and I need a distraction
I don't use reddit on mobile (and use it much much less on desktop with RES, Old reddit, and an adblocker, I still like the computer oriented subs)
Just passing time. That's why I'm currently browsing.
I'm having a coffee before I drop the kids off at the pool.
right now? always
I'm driving a school bus. (just kidding)
Figuring out whats up in the world. I open the all feed and sort by top in past 12 hours. Thunder client ftw.
Scrolling when I should be sleeping
While also debating myself on sharing some art I recently made
Kbin, but Iβm bored and procrastinating
bored, slightly hungover. just scrolling through.
Because I was banned from all of Reddit for ban evasion in a sub I wasnβt even banned from. Not coincidentally, it was right after speaking out against the the treatment of 3rd party developers over API use.
Checking my communities.
