lol good.
Twitter has/is/was always a cesspit.
I agree, I actually ended up gaining the weight back, but when I was working on losing it- I loved that sub for its motivation. I'm actually about to re-embark on that very same goal again now.
/r/fatpeoplehate- to reiterate, did help me. It didn't make me hate myself, it didn't inspire the eating disorder I came to be under, or are under now- it made clear to me that I had things to deal with. A healthy person does not lose over a hundred pounds of weight, and then gain it back in a fairly short period of time. For all of it's failures, flaws, and imperfections- that sub may have very well saved my life by bringing to my attention; I have an eating disorder.
In a lot of ways, I’m happy to hear this. A lot of communities will thrive without the intervention of a central power.
Some communities will become toxic, and it will be up to the individual to figure out whether that’s for them or not- but at least they have a choice.
/r/fatpeoplehate inspired me to lose 135 LB. It wasn’t a bad subreddit.
Granted /r/coonworld /r/chimpout we’re both…Jesus Christ… but at least even the most vile of people had a voice.
This reminds me of when, during the building and development of the Apollo program- electrical engineers were tasked with effectively creating the "software" of the guidance system, and when one of the lead developers told his wife "I'm working on the software for the rocket" She replied "We're not going to tell people that you're working in underpants."
Someday, I'm going to have a girl friend, as strong and physically intimidating as my hamster, Jean Philiep. Until then, I guess I'll invite friends @_@
That was like, half the reason I used reddit, lol. Otherwise it's just a shithole full of "aHkshUaly" people.
Take your clothes off, or give me something actually interesting and insightful to read, or fuck right off.

It genuinely is getting better. I like the kind of garage rebel feel of it, pretty fun- really reminds me of reddit's early days, but all good things must come to an end, and even if Lemmy does take off, it will meet the same fate inevitably.
