        I don’t know. I just didn’t have much to do today. Yes, I used to use Reddit. I didn’t really post in places like this, when I did have Reddit, though. How about you? What brings you to this place?

            Aw, I understand. It can be pretty bad over there. What was the final straw that made you leave?

              I can’t really point to anything specifically, tbh. Reddit just keeps going downhill. Has been for years. It’s also that I’ve started taking my online privacy way more seriously recently, in general. I deleted my Reddit account within roughly a month of deleting (almost) all of my other accounts on platforms that are run for profit. (My Google account’s the last to go, soon.) I do realize that Lemmy’s not perfect in that regard, at least in terms of metadata visible to geniuses with nothing better to do, but that’s not better on Reddit, and Lemmy is federated as opposed to being controlled by an evil corporation like Reddit. Reddit’s stock going public is incomprehensible because they’ve never turned a profit and likely never will. They’re probably working on some long-con to eventually desolve the company and pocket everything, or something, and fortunately that’s none of my business. No point in still being there whenever it finally dies. Fuck Spez.
