it was a really easy transition

Surprisingly not hard at all. I helped build tools for moderators on Reddit that were used by millions. When the API changes hit, it completely destroyed all of my work. I have no interest in dedicating my time casually or seriously to a site that treats me that way.

I’m a habitual person but switching to the fediverse was like trading cigarettes for a vape. Same addiction, different delivery, more flavor 😛

I saw the spaz “ama” and started looking.

Twenty minutes later, I had an account and was using it

Pretty damn easy

Honestly, not hard at all. I’ve already been perma banned from reddit, (Mohamed raped a 9 year old, and reddit doesn’t like that particular fact about that particular religion), and I was only using it sparingly through alts. Lemmy feels so much better. Yeah, it’s has some tankies, but holy hell we can actually talk here.
