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!

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.
