As an Iranian, yeah sounds about right. The Ayatollah is so full of shit. With that said please be sure to be careful to not be racist. The Iranian people are all great people, it is the government who is evil.
Also an 11 year Redditor here haha.
I got my start browsing rage comics on iFunny and 9GAG, then began browsing Reddit around 2010/11. I finally made my account in 2012. I too watched as Reddit became overrun with bots. I watched as summer Reddit stopped ending and became the norm, people responding in comments with corrections and more information lessened, the obvious astroturfing increased, obvious propaganda took over almost all the defaults, and most importantly, they started shutting down subs that might possibly maybe make them look bad for an IPO.
They desecrated the grave of Aaron Swartz on spit on his name by removing him as a co-creator of Reddit. The cartoonishly evil decisions came one after another and I've had enough as well.
Voat didn't stand a chance because the people who were migrating over were lurkers.
I genuinely believe in Lemmy because this time, it's the mods. The people that actually keep the site running.
Fuck Reddit, fuck u/Spez, go Lemmy
ope, I don't know how it got turned upside down and don't know how to fix it :(
Heres another pic just for posterity
I think zoomed in pictures of your pet is the funniest genre of pet pictures out there. Share your photos, I love to see them!
This post right here has convinced me that Beehaw is something special. It makes me so happy to see the community respected in this way
Oh god, I shouldn't have looked. Their idea of free speech is posting obvious propaganda and shitting on minorities. Classic
Yes absolutely! From about 19-22 I was diagnosed bipolar and on mood stabilizers and just thinking "why the hell isn't it working". Now I'm finally on Ritalin and it's helped so much, but I still have difficulty with my executive dysfunction and no one really seems to know what to do about it! /rant
God I feel this, it took showing my mom hours of footage talking about childhood ADHD for her to finally believe I have it and I'm 24 years old! I have no resources that accurately describe my symptoms now as an adult, and so many of the ones discussing childhood symptoms emphasize that by adulthood they go away. No they don't!!!
I only recently heard ADHD described as an executive dysfunction disorder and not an attention disorder and I was gutted that such a simple distinction has made receiving adequate care so difficult.
It's been hard learning to deal with the feeling that there's something fundamentally wrong with me, finally feeling validated that this disorder isn't just "sometimes focusing on homework is hard" has helped a lot
I too, am a simple loaf
