dang… rip to the subreddit that helped me find myself

Nice. This and 196 were the friendliest shit post communities I had encountered on Reddit and it’s tough saying goodbye. But I’m glad they’re not gonna put up with the platform’s shitty changes.

Btw maybe Beehaw needs a little gay shitpost community jfc~

Woah. So far, I’ve been super brazen about this whole reddit fiasco; I told myself that if this is how they want to go, then I wish them a painful downfall.

But seeing a community that played such a substantial role in my self-discovery close down forever… It’s hitting me in a way I honestly couldn’t have predicted. This subreddit, along with /r/egg_irl, forced me to confront things that I had pushed down since childhood.

This really feels like the end of an era, as silly as that may sound.

I hope a lot of those communities move over this way, I’d hate to lose such welcoming places.

Just because you have to change venue doesn’t mean your community has to disappear.

Community is more than a place, it’s a feeling, it’s a people.

Damn… That’s an important mental health resource. Humor is a decent defense against both depression and authoritarianism: by means of it one gets through many a dark night. Thankful we are a wonderfully resourceful group but I will dearly miss traa meet chasers and the rest.

Apparently some are trying to make https://raddle.me/f/Trans happen? The fediverse has interested me for a while but it took another controversy to push me into becoming a newbie again. I’m still figuring out how to lemmy :) So far Beehaw seems to be a fabulous place and I’m glad you’re all here!
