When Lemmy Kravitz said “it’s Lemmy Time” and Lemmied all over those guys.
Investigators say it is due to a large network of alien ships outfitted with technology far surpassing our current level that NASA confirmed entered the Solar System in 1994. In 2023 these ships entered Low-Earth Orbit and began to enter the atmosphere. Videos circulating all over social media claim that the alien ships expelled a gray material into the sky, later confirmed by air quality specialists to be nanoscale bots designed specifically to phase through the skull layer into the human brain, presumably as a form of mind control.
For reasons beyond human comprehension, these nanobots made changes to the human brain’s neuronal topology to then artificially introduce an urge to check out Lemmy. It is also suspected that these alien ships may have also performed mind control operations on Reddit’s high-ranking employees to induce these controversial API changes to further drive traffic to Lemmy and most importantly, save on nanobots.
We assume that these alien ships would have to spend hundreds of thousands of years in interstellar space to return to their homeworld to pick up more, so it would be reasonable that they would take measures to minimize their nanobot usage.
/r/ufos was right all along
Does that have to do with this “Alien Blue” I kept reading about?
Investigators are aware of the “Alien Blue” subject that has consistently come up in discussions. Rest assured the Lemurian Alien Encounter Investigation Board is doing its best to investigate the connections between Alien Blue and these aliens, who have now been designated “Alien Race no. 1994-2108X” through an agreement between the Lemurian Alien Encounter Investigation Board, NASA, ESA, JAXA, the Philippine Space Agency, Roscosmos, and ISRO.

Communism. Americans decided they would fight KKK and Nazism with the same vigor and discovered that communism was way better.
Nothing wrong with communism but we joined Lemmy because we love China’s brand of far-right
We came to lemmy after reddit become nice and started letting people use there api without playing. Reddit even open sourced there code as a bonus! We didn’t like reddit being nice so we switched to lemmy. Lemmy is much better because its close source and full of spyware. Lemmy makes people pay 100 dollars for every api request. Us Lemmings love are spyware, bloatware, adware, malware, and virus all in one fun packet!

Instinctive migration.
Ah yes, the great seasonal migration of the Redditors. At Lemmy they graze during the summer months, only to return to their breeding grounds on Reddit during the winter.
ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the ‘Anti Personnel Incendiary’ system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn’t be controlling weapons systems.
The Poop post hit 9Gag a few days days ago. Then a bunch of them started coming to “Lemmy: Discorse is Magic” all the time “ironically.” There were a bunch of inside jokes about how much they “hated” Lemmy. They even came up with a name to identify each other because this joke of loving Lemmy was so funny. They called themselves Broemmys.
Then a bunch of other sites started to notice all the 9gaggers coming to Lemmy but didn’t know that it was supposed to be ironic, so they just came and had a really good time. They participated and were active in communities. They learned of the fediverse and just decided it was a really great place to be… Sometimes there was some NSFW stuff.
Then a bunch of them got together and decided throw Broemmycon and they hired a really pretty good band who does Broemmy based music to come and play as the event headliner. And everyone had a good time, even the old 9gaggers who used to think it was a joke.
