Hello, I hope you remember my, I’m the fake poster. I did a full confession on Reddit, I compiled over 40 of my fake stories. I had chosen AmITheAngel because it is the most adequate place to talk about fake stories on Reddit....
I was just saying to my husband the other night, ‘ive known a long time that I’d see the end of the world in my lifetime. I just didnt expect to see it before I turned 40*.’
I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the...

For me, it’s sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I’m driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I’ve loved it since I was a child and I’ll never stop doing it!
I try to be a good an honest person, even on the internet where no one will know I’m a dog. I try to take people at face value when possible-- we all need to form our own opinions....
I havent posted as much here, yet… but I love Lemmy like I love mastodon. I feel like I can have real conversations with real people-- which is something that has been severely lacking on the internet for years.
I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon....
I make one post a month on Facebook. Usually within the first couple days. This month’s was about how since the supreme court wanted to rule dumb last week, I was going to play along and disallow certain people from shopping at my etsy shop. Got me a handful of orders, too… which is nice.
Reddit I just use still to check in on if any weird news happened… but that’s about it.
I was never big on Twitter myself… I made an account when it first came out and never used it… and then for a high school unit for something we were required to make accounts (I graduated 10+ years ago… so that in and of itself is scary). I’ve never liked twitter. It always seemed to be screaming into the void.
Mastodon I really appreciate the real conversations with real people, especially when they are interested in what I have to say. I made a post about getting rid of lawns and had people from all angles of the argument discussing with me about it. It felt… healthy?!
You’re right… it’s just not worth it for the most part on larger platforms. I’m not sitting here trying to argue with anyone-- we can have a civilized discussion that ends in a disagreement on smaller platforms. On larger platforms it always turns into fights and pilings-on. It is gross.
I remember making MSN groups or whatever they were called back in the day for a favorite band or tv show or whatever-- I hope for Lemmy to mirror the forums and groups of yore… but if it doesn’t? Well… I’ve been on Mastodon for the better part of a year at this point and I still am able to have decent conversations with fellow humans. It may not stay perfect, but I am hopeful for the fediverse, to be honest.
