I went through a series of events in 2009 and 2010 (a year and 3 months) that resulted in literally 90ish % of my life gone or ruined… And had to recover. Ever since then ive adopted the Pheonix name with some extension. Sorta literally risen from the fire (house I lived in towards the end of my time in college burned down, the second of the 3 events).

I spell it wrong because i always liked it. More that way.

Not the most positive or fun of stories… But im here and standing still… So its something??

In the last year alone I pulled a siatic nerve… Burned my stomach (small scar) and broke the left most bone in my left foot in 3 places and barely dodged surgery as it is… So not great?

Word. Its getting old fast. I just want to find Reddits replacement, a place for current and less accessable news and random funny nonsense. Not read post after post about how reddits failing or not failing. I dont care. I left.

I hope Lemmy becomes more like it, not its antagonist.

Same for me. Once RIF died my time with Reddit died as well. But i really try not tongo back, but sometimes some answers are only easily found there.

Thats interesting. We do the same thing with phones now. Lol.

Lol… Wow. Its a trip to see what we thought we be future proof back then.

Thank you. Gave up Reddit when Reddit Is Fun (RIF) died. Found Lemmings. Wait a few weeks and now here I am. I have to admit the different instances and this federation thingy, a lot to learn though it feels.more background stuff that Reddit may have had but we just didnt notice. Appreciate the post and happy to be here. Cheers!
