I wouldnt tell anyone i use Reddit irl let alone Lemmy
I never told anyone I used Reddit, but I’ve def told many about Lemmy (within my foss propaganda I regularly administer upon the unsuspecting, if need be at the urinals).
(Still won’t ever share my username, I don’t like people like that)
I started using Reddit in 2008 (kill me). One of the of the defining traits of the site at the time was the fact everything was anonymous. It was considered taboo to expose your Reddit persona to your irl circles. Hell, I still don’t have an email associated with my Reddit account.
It’s been interesting, and a little tragic, to watch that attitude erode over the years and then see Reddit itself encourage the idea of creating a unique identity to cash in.
Lemmy is way more like the original Reddit & I’ll actually admit to using Lemmy, even though no one knows wtf I’m on about.
Yeah, was on Reddit almost daily since prob around 2008 too, up till only a bit over two years ago.
The anonymity within one account(name) is great, don’t need or want more for interaction online.
It’s great for introverted social interaction.

someone in IRL asked me my username once, and I thought it was so weird. Of course, I didn’t tell them.
I’ve heard people say, “I saw X on Reddit” I don’t think it’s stigmatized.
I just say i saw it online
Someone never saw the Boston reddit meetup photo.
Ironic
Reddit is entirely a “normie” platform now. 6 years ago I was actually made fun of for using it, but now even my grandparents talk about it.
For a good reason
Fuck reddit
Lemmy is cool, but that kind of behaviour is quite disgusting to be honest.
Wanna get federated?
Federate me harder daddy
Call some fiends, there are lots of urinals still free!
It’s 2025. We should be able to piss right next to each other and check each other’s cocks out.
Why is there no /c/ock
With Lemmy, there could be multiple /c/ock communities – one per instance haha
I’ll check your /c/ock once it’s up then
I’ll get my /c/ock out
Make it!
It’s a great conversation starter
man took this post extremely serious lol
Ikr, he didn’t even mention his favorite instance (if his favorite is world, ml, or hexbear I would call him disgusting)
Peeing standing up?
Bragging about Lemmy is just a vessel for bragging about Linux.
Me in the yellow shirt: … (turning towards you suddenly in surprise without thinking) … LEMMY! … ME TOO!!! … (as I’m smiling and spraying you with urine)
At least he’s not using the same urinal.
It’s rare to see a meme taken with a camera. This one’s gotta be a collectors item.
Its probably a screenshot taken from an app that adds a fade to black at the top
I’m going to add this comment to my scrap journal.
Love it. I’m in the history books!
