Welcome to Lemmy MEGATHREAD

In all seriousness, this site is amazing. Thank you so much to all my beloved comrades who made this possible (despite the lack of a profit motive????). From hexbear, to Moscow time, to the fact that it actually seems to work great so far, to not banning people for opposing slavery... just... chef's kiss

Guys I can’t tell you how fucking good it is to watch my stupid imaginary internet points rise again, more dopamine, MOOOOOORE

A moment of silence for comrades who did not survive the reddit —> discord —> Lemmy journey

A big thanks to everyone who worked so hard to get this site up and running. COVID has made existence feel even more lonely, so it was a joy to wake up and see the site. I'm either too old or too autistic (not being used pejoratively) to handle the speed of Discord, and this already feels like home. Much love to everyone.
If you can spare the money, consider donating to the staff/upkeep of this site.
Edit: Wow, they were banned from Patreon exceedingly quickly. Gotta get something up and running quick; I want to give you money.

Feels good to be home, discord is really good but nothing beats the ability to post something that will be visible to more people than the ~40 people who happen to be looking at chat at any given moment.

Best part about the lemmy is that when I registered it had me pick out pictures of trains to prove I was human. Train gang for life.

Seriously, well done for getting all this sorted in just a few weeks.
Now when's the mobile app coming, you can't expect me to use a Web browser surely.

Wassup I fucking hate discord, stoked to finally have a place to post where things don’t disappear into the ether forever after 5 minutes

Whoa there's no running tally of my upvotes? How am I supposed to know my self worth.

Can't wait for this to reach the activity levels of the first few days of Minneapolis. That was some good mindless scrolling.

fuck reddit, fuck spez, fuck cops, fuck the united states, fuck chuds, fuck libs

Ah megathread, I did miss you so.
Fuck cops, fuck the rich, fuck landlords, fuck fascists, fuck the packers!

I finally have the username I always wanted to use on reddit. Someone took it like 9 years ago and never used the account.

Captcha asked me to pick which images contained trains while signing up. This is a sign of good things.

losing the subreddit and then deluding myself that this will be an actual left community rather than more lib shit before signing up and sinking into insanity yet again, like the guy in the twilight zone episode who loses his glasses after the bombs fall

It's great that we finally have a new home. Reddit is an authoritarian shithole; they banned my sub in under 24 hours.
