@Warped@kbin.social

Here to try and be social. Very strange as I'm not in real life. A bloke getting on in age, who has been round the block. Mentally, I may be ill, but I'm not as sick as those in charge of us. Let's laugh, or at least make fun of the idiots. Mostly here for fun, whatever that means?

Honestly, people, it's true. I was walking into town, a trip that normally takes me 20 minutes. I decided to test this out, so I started my stopwatch and started thinking gay thoughts. I have no idea what your standard homosexual thinks about, I'm just your normal straight white male. Just attempting to think gay made me walk into town 5 minutes faster.

I shared these results with my boyfriend when I got back from town, and he was amazed.

Reddit has been going downhill for ages. They stopped listening to the users, its customers, years ago. They started becoming more 'Social' as they put it. Adding chat features, and other useless features. All the time ignoring important things like stopping spam, decent moderation tools, blocking people, etc... I have been using Old.Reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite for years to make the site usable. I will miss Reddit, but I have been missing it for quite some time.

As for people who put effort into apps, subreddits, etc... Yes, it's a shame, but the internet evolves and moves on. Harsh but true. Hopefully, these people will see a future elsewhere. Because a good portion of those people are talented. Maybe one of them can produce apps for Kbin.social? Who knows what they will find to put their energy into, maybe one such person leaving Reddit will create a new social media site we all flock too?

I will be watching to see what happens. Yes I support those fighting to keep 3rd party access, specially as it means some with certain needs (Like the blind) will have no access at all to Reddit. I also think this shake-up is needed. I will be using the Fediverse.

I'm in England, Essex. That's east of London. Stuck between two cities in a rural setting.

Not sure when Lemmy first entered my social media walkabout, but it was quite some time ago now. I have been searching for a place to replace Reddit for years. It has been a slow search. That search has now speeded up since the latest changes. At present, I am using Kbin to gain access to the Fediverse. It feels the most user-friendly. Not that I have been here long, minutes. But I have lurked for some time.

I am not looking for a direct Reddit replacement. I think many are, so lack of users. Different rules, jargon, etc.... Do not bother me.
