Heck yeah!

I started knitting!
Though if we’re being honest I still spend most of it on Lemmy and Firefish now instead of reddit

It’s tough leaving all of that behind even when we have such a similar site here. But things change and life continues on

The ability to go on tangents to me is what makes this website format so special. So much knowledge and discussion happens that wouldn’t be possible in other formats, whether in a traditional single column forum where it would be derailing or on a microblog site

I’ve learned countless things from reddit, from science facts, to breaking news events and novel solutions for my work. I specifically would like to list how reddit changed the course of my life.

I had always been agnostic and fairly oblivious to the injustices in our world, not really concerned about politics. Seeing how much needless hurt exists out there sent me about as far left as you can go and I’ve been that way ever since. Combine that with finding the Epicurean problem of evil there and now I’m also atheist.

As time went on I saw a few cheating stories and common signs to watch for. These signs started popping up with my ex and sure enough she was cheating. That ended the relationship.

The last way it absolutely changed the course of my life was I ran across a video by a trans man coming to terms with his masculinity and him describing his feelings that lead him to transitioning. I realized I experienced the exact same feelings he did growing up and that I’m actually trans.

I mean you were definitely being abused/traumatized by your dad
