I was browsing reddit anonymously but have stopped since they killed 3rd party apps. Anyways all the news and posts are on Lemmy so no point of using reddit. Also fuck spez

I haven't been allowed on Reddit since I upset the AITA mods by creating the username AITA_mods_are_all_incels and have found Lemmy to be a much healthier environment.

You created a username that insults someone else and then cried because it was your own fault? Did you stop to think that you were the unhealthy environment?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Did they ever cry or say it wasn't their fault? It seems like an obvious easy way to get banned, I don't see any complaints about it. I don't think calling an asshole an asshole is an unhealthy environment, I would blame the asshole first for being the asshole.

I agree with the healthier environment, it's kind of nice being able to make a comment and have people actually see it rather than there being 2k+ comments. It's a small community but I don't mind that and it's actually good in that I don't doom scroll as much cause there just isn't enough content, so I don't spend hours on it.
