I was an active Digger and Redditor in 2006-7 then migrated fully to Reddit post digg-tastrophy. I’ve honestly found it hard to stay away from Reddit but the existence of Lemmy world and the fact that I just discovered they took Aaron Schwartz off the list of cofounders is strengthening my resolve. Thank you all for being here.

Edited to add - I have no intention of returning to Reddit. The average person has precious little they can do to change the tides of fortune, but one of them is to consistently vote with their wallet. In this case, our attention is filling their wallet, so I remove my attention and clicks.

I once saw Yo-Yo Ma perform at a Borders book store in Boston.
