Probably due to Reddit fuckary. Between power-hungry, ban-happy mods and Reddit talking about possibly charging for select subs, I definitely bailed and came here.

Two days old today, baaabbby!!

Doing my part tho! I've created 5 communities and have posted over 100 times in the last two days. :)

That is crazy. Nice work! :D

Thank you. Everyone is calling me a troll and saying things like, "Troll alert. Account is only 2 days old!"

But WTF? Are we supposed to wait after we create an account to start posting?

No. I created an account so I could START posting. lol

Welcome to the upgrade!

We need more work horses like you 💙

Thank you! But wow, the people in the c/poltics sub are convinced I am a "media manipulator" because my account is only a few days old and I have started communities. lol

People in political communities can be a bit opinionated. Hopefully it will fade away as your account will get older

To be fair to the denizens of c/politics, the last time someone pushed Jill Stein this aggressively was Russian bot and troll farms during the 2016 election ^[1] ^[2] ^[3]
