MODERATORS
17 years on Reddit, 15 years as a registered user. I'm done with Reddit.

Two weeks in on Lemmy and I've even set up my own instance. It feels like old Reddit and I'm loving it!
Same here. Same username over there.
I would show you my 12 year old profile (with some real classic comments including a best of explanation of quantum physics, and a bunch of spoof lyrics of songs, short stories, debates, awarded essays, epicly stupid jokes) except it became un-viewable when they banned me for mocking someone’s plan to solve housing shortages by vandalizing houses.
I never understood this proud feeling of being part of a website.
What kinds of things are you proud of?
Things I train/study for and control.
Well, a person does control which websites they're a part of. Maybe "pride" here means they enjoy speaking up about it (a good definition of pride I'd say), like I enjoy saying I was at Burning Man 2006 but I'm a little ashamed of saying I missed the final lightsaber battle. The thing they controlled was navigating to be in a certain moment of history.
