We should start calling u/spez by his real name. Because most people won’t know who he is if he shows up somewhere else in future.

He doesn’t deserve a real name.

Personally I’d like to thank Steve Huffman. Without him I would not have discovered Lemmy and I really like it here!

Oh that I wish it were. Lemmy is improving, but it does not even approach the quantity and diversity of content Reddit has.

I’m finding it better. Yeah, there’s less content and diversity, but the quality feels a lot better. I’m interested in a much larger share of the posts I see.

There was a lot of talk about Fark on Digg, and about Digg on reddit. It’s just the Circle of Life.

I specifically joined Lemmy to get away from Reddit. Why does everyone constantly want to talk about Reddit? There are much more interesting topics out there, folks

Remember to downtime the post. The doots work both ways.

Nah, I decided to not downvote anyone on lemmy. Only upvotes. We need more positivity in our lives.

Yeah, I didn’t care for it while I was a reddit user. The guy literally doesn’t care if you post ‘fuck /u/spez’ randomly in a comment section. Why let the guy live rent free in your head when you can step away from his domain and influence and never bothered again?

Nah, it’s important to talk shit about people who suck that do corporatist shit like Spez. I don’t care about him but I’m just a sucker for anything like that.
