Because I refuse to install the Reddit official app.

To help people realize that neoliberal capitalism is causing climate change and must be replaced with a planned economy to lessen the impact when society inevitably collapses.

I'm bored.

Pooping.

Toilet break

Why are you on Lemmy

Reddit refugee.

right now?

Shittin'

Two types of people in this post:

• Those answering "Why are you on Lemmy and not doing something productive", and
• those answering "Why are you on Lemmy and not Reddit"

I'm shy but I still have the human desire for social interaction. Written communication with anonymous strangers strikes a good balance between avoiding shyness triggers and fulfilling that desire to be social.

(Shy probably isn't the right word. I have no problem giving a formal presentation to a room full of my coworkers, but I won't initiate an informal conversation with a coworker in the break room.)

Fuck spez

Poor impulse control

I came here because of the reddit strike. I am one of those idiots that used the official app anyway but i did not like the way they handled the change. I changed to lemmy and after a couple of days I deleted my reddit account. I actually don`t remember when I had this much fun exploring a part of the internet. I just love the community. Sure there could be more content and especially discussion in the comments but I take the slower content generation over the toxic cesspool most large online communities have become any day of the week.

Reddit refugee. After Spez spazzed out, and I couldn't use Sync anymore, I was gone.

As for this second? Same reason everyone is here. On a break looking at a phone.

EDIT

Also, my first post! Also, fuck /u/spez

Because fuck spez that’s why. Deleted my 10+ year old mod account back when they killed Apollo. Haven’t been back (and don’t plan to either).

Procrastinating on work, as usual.

Morning routine.

Standard issue poop break

My code is compiling.

My discomfort while being bored

Reddit killed my app 😭

Looking at Lemmy so far I see no reason to return to Reddit, especially with them monetising karma and whatever that crypto thing is they introduced

You mean at the very moment? I'm waiting for my gf to come to sleep. In general? Boycotting Reddit and I still like to get my news curated

💩 break

I'm not.

Because Reddit got boring af. And annoying. Spambots everywhere because of API shutdown.

Definitely not procrastinating at work, honest

Fediverse is a healthy alternative I don't need to feel bad about. I feel shameful and don't want to talk about it when I use Reddit, which I stopped using anyways.

Reddit really

Reddit doesn't work on my phone and my PC takes ages loading Baldur's gate 3

Doomscrolling

bus ride home

Cuz I got nothing better to do.

Same reason I was on Reddit at work before. I’m taking a dump and need something to do. And now my bowel movements are free of corporate interests

died on counter strike. Waiting for next round :D

Reading leftist memes and LGBTQIA+ basic tips for like daily life. Oh and the Autism/ADHD community tips, too. I'm pretty burnt out on commenting on news posts, and hope to make more original posts around culture and tech stuff.

Checking my Lemmy messages. I love going back and forth with people in comments.

As in right now? Sitting outside in the city center on a Friday night watching people having fun with friends and trying to feel the same vicariously through them.

Don't want to appear staring so I'm typing on my phone.

I am riding da bus

Trying to reinvigorate !superbowl@lemmy.world and !anime@lemmy.ml .

SuperbOwl migrated from Reddit but nobody was doing anything with it. I try to post at least one owl a day. Currently I'm posting one owl rescue a day for each US state so people can visit and support them in person. Today is #11, Hawaii.

Anime communities seem so dead in Lemmy. There was finally an active thread last weekend, so I wanted to try to start another one this weekend.

Because I used boost for Reddit and I wasn't going to use Reddit without it. Now I just like the concept of Lemmy.
