MathiasTCK commented on Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

15 y 9m 34k karma, but I didn't prioritize Reddit over other sites until the Digg migration. I liked Sidewiki better the Digg. Reddit served as a good place to centralize comments around a Url, but sidewiki would've practically had the comments attached to the site being discussed, via a browser plugin.

I like Lemmy and am eager to try android clients for it.

I am here this visit because talklittle sent traffic this direction too:

https://www.talklittle.com/rif-is-fun/whats-next

I felt like Reddit is Fun strongly embraced standard Android UI when it came out, and that's what I wanted. I don't want gestures for anything but scrolling. I want large target areas, and I want long press to provide a useful context menu

Looking good so far. I volunteer to be made mod. This is me: https://www.reddit.com/user/mathiastck

I moderated some small sub reddits on Reddit, the largest is https://www.reddit.com/r/propublica/ with 1k members. Basically I used to want a place on Reddit to share things I found elsewhere, most Twitter, and a lot of it was news articles, so I looked for the subreddits related to those news sources. They were frequently closed or abandoned, so I used Reddits process to request an orphan sub, and got them reopened.

I've been reading Sci Fi for 30 years, I got into Heinlein as a teenage boy, and tried making a Starship Troopers GIFS subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/doingmypart/ but I ended up just using it as my default resharing targert when someone does or does not do a thing.

I'm moving to posting those kinds of posts here now on Lemmy: https://lemmy.world/c/doingmypart

On Reddit my sci fi related stuff also went to: https://www.reddit.com/r/BioOfASpaceTyrant/ It's a bit focused on 40k quotes. I'm playing the Horus Heresy Legions mobile CCG: https://www.horusheresylegions.com/ and I have been devouring the audio and epub 40k/30k books from Humble Bundle, I just bought the current one: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/chronicles-world-warhammer-black-library-books

I am excited about Netflix's 3 Body Problem adaptation, I love the book, I'm caught up and enjoying latest trek, and I try to read each new releae from Neal Stephenson

https://twitter.com/nealstephenson

Honestly I keep referencing his last 2 books when I try to explain what people are missing about where social is / where it is going. His old stuff was also prescient.

Lemmy works fine for me from a laptop, but I haven't found a good Android app yet.
