It's been a long time since I was invited to leave Twitter, and I left (now I'm the happiest person in the world in Mastodon). Now they invite me to leave Reddit... where am I going?

Sir, this is Lemmy.

Yeah! I’m new habitant of this world

Welcome from the rest of us reddit transplants! I'd offer you punch but I think spez snuck in and peed in it.

I think notspez did it, but they did it as performance art, and I enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the art or enjoyed the pee punch?

I was already pissed, I didn't need the punch to have a laugh.

You’re here. Now play nice and we’ll all get along.

No we don't! This isn't argument, it's contradiction! Yes it is! No it isn't! Yes it is! No it isn't!

Is your username a Porcupine Tree reference? They'ee one of my favorite bands!

Yeah!!!! Also is one of my favorite bands!!! I have all of their albums and Steven Wilson music also is lovely!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Yeah totally. In fact, I'll be playing a live Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson tribute set next month so I'm thoroughly immersed in that music at the moment
