I’m a part of that group. I see 24 people wish I’d kick rocks haha, I get it.

Look, I’m sure most of the refugees agree with me. If we don’t fit in we’ll leave.

So far I’m digging Lemmy. I wish it was more active, but if it’s gonna grow it will.

It broke my heart to leave Reddit after 15-16 years, but it’s not that same place any more any way.

So, hello fellow Apollo refugees.

I knew it was getting bad nearly a year ago when they permanently banned my 12-year-old account for "threatening violence." When I warned someone else that their rhetoric could be understood as such.

They and their friends went on a mass reporting spree and it took a month to get the ban overturned.
