I came to Lemmy 3 years ago, during the reddit API cutoff exodus.

I love the Fediverse! It is full of kind, interesting, thoughtful, and open-minded people. It doesn't have every possible community, but there are other corners of the Internet for that.

I'm on Mastodon and fedinsfw (formerly lemmynsfw) but this is my primary Fediverse instance and account. I love it here for the brilliant, accountable, and transparent admin; the quality posters; the thoughtful commenters; those who step up to invigorate a sleepy community; those who try to broker peace between squabbling commenters; those who upvote quality posts and report ones that break the rules - we all contribute to make this community so great! (I know many regulars by screen name, but don't want to risk omitting anyone by naming names. :)

In celebration of 3 good years here, I made a donation with the hope we will keep this fabulous instance and community going!
