It’s easy to tell this is a copy/paste job (due to the repeated text from the subject pasted into the body) so I have to wonder if this is a bot.
Apparently, I wasn't clear enough when I said this, so my apologies, I will be clearer: it was the copy/paste (of the same wording) into the subject and body that had me wondering (because it is typical for bots to do this).
At no point whatsoever did I say or imply that I had a problem with your viewpoint and I do not appreciate you putting words in my mouth. If that's how you interpreted the above, that's not my issue - that is on you for misinterpreting my words.
I wasn't in any way challenging you, disagreeing with you or trying to silence you (so the defensiveness is uncalled for) but if I had, I would have been crystal clear that was my intent. Don't try to read between the lines and infer meaning that isn't there because you'll be wrong. You don't know me. If you aren't sure what someone said, there's this wonderful thing called "asking for clarification" and it doesn't cost you anything. it only takes a little extra effort. There's this well-known adage about assuming..I'm sure we both know how it goes.
Again, to be absolutely, positively 100% crystal clear: I wasn't talking about your words, I was talking about the way you typed them and nothing more. Again, copy/paste copy/paste screams "bot" to me and I'm sure others as well. If you had used a more sensible subject line, I wouldn't be asking if you're a human.
Nonetheless, thank you for confirming you are a real person. I appreciate the response but I could've done without the defensiveness. (As I am autistic, it took entirely too many 'spoons' to formulate a proper response.)
Mastodon is a different format and structure than Lemmy. However, you can post and comment from Mastodon but you can't do much of anything else without a Lemmy account.
I just found another place called Squabbles which seems like a mix of twitter and reddit, with posts and communities but threaded like twitter for its discussions. Is it part of the fediverse? or is it its own thing?
I admit. On the 12th as a mod I was just gonna go till the 14th u/spez after that the leaks started coming out and realized the CEO of reddit doesn't care about us period. I created a lemmy account cause I didn't know what the fediveese was and a mastodon account and was basically trying to get away from reddit but I admit I do miss reddit.
In comes kbin I've been on for a good day on the web app cause I use my phone 99% of the time and realized after trial and error and reading what a microblog and what a thread is and how to navigate this website. I have 2 subs on lemmy that I will keep for now but I think kbin is where it's at. This is truly a reddit replacement!
