Lemmy is booming

I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

Messaging from the Jerboa app I just downloaded from the play store.

A few nights ago I discovered Lemmy as I needed to find a Reddit alternative fast knowing I will longer be able to use Reddit is Fun.

I've been a Redditor for almost 12 years now, I remember when it was a wild community where there was freedom of speech, few bots, it was the best source of memes next to cheezeburger, which was how I discovered Reddit.

I used it nearly everyday, and watched it's decline, I remember when Elena Pao or whatever the fuck her name bought into the company, since then it's become snipped more and more to the point I don't recognize it anymore.

It transformed into some sort of money hungry beast, that is destroying its self from the inside out, trying to get people to use their shitty ad riddled app with a shitty interface.

I am so happy I found you guys, I really want to see Reddit's blackouts go on indefinitely, infact I just wanna watch it burn. It's dead to me, the owners suck, it's just as bad as Facebook and the other main social media platforms now.

Any person I know who uses Reddit, I will point them here.
