I thought I read "Philly cheesecakes" and for a second there I was widly confused at American's concept of a cake.

Nice username tho.
Saludos desde algún lugar de LATM.

I do see the gif!
They are adorable little demons

Yeah, I gave advice on some smaller / niche, topics. I didn't delete the whole thing, only my most upvoted and/or most recent comments (I went all the way to december 2022, and every comment with more than 20 upvotes). Replaced it all with a link to my kbin.

It was kind of sad reading all the replies that were like "we should put this comment in the FAQ / this is the best comment / this covers everything". I was very throughout and loved speading what I learned, and it pains me a little the few times I lurked in those communities since moving to kbin and see lots of unanswered pleads for advice or straight up terrible advice being given...

Im halfway tempted to start claiming demodded subs and filling them up with instructions on how to move to their kbin/lemmy alternatives.
If they kick me out and ban me I won't find out cause I don't go into reddit no more.

Edit: of course they would never give the subreddits to me, but I find the idea really funny

Yeah, about that... I have a secret to confess.
Im not actually a 2D dog

Some people fake it with children to fake appeareances (they may not care about the child, but they do care about the opinion of the parents or anyone watching), I find it way more telling when looking how they treat animals and pets, since those are often percieved as "inferior beings" and its harder to fake it.

I personally trust my dog's opinion on people upon meeting them.

I think I read him yesterday asking what to eat to solve his constipation, which one would assume means that the no poop challenge was successful...perhaps too successful

If there's something in there that I want to read, I replace reddit.com with reddit.adminforge.de, that way I can scroll through communities that are still not quite on the fediverse yet without giving them the traffic.
From time to time if I come across a link here about the migration, I will go comment about kbin being nice and relatively easy to figure out (Im a dummy and I got it working in two days or so). Other than that and to edit/ delete my comments and posts and to request my data, haven't gone back since the first blackout.

Yep, I have experience with volunteer work (not on reddit, in an actual organization with good intended objectives).
The organization is great, we are ALL volunteers, from the directives to the everyday volunteers. ALL money made goes back into making the project reach wider, don't want to give many details but money goes into giving out free or very accesible education and health-related services to those in need. We have access to the numbers, its all transparent.

The coworkers are nice, its a very niche area of work and we all know one another (so you also make connections with some important people in the field). Some of us have long lasting friendships. The directives of the organization are a mix of founders and the longer lasting volunteers that want to take on those roles. All positions are decided by vote of the community, anyone from the community can apply to any role and pitch in their ideas to make it better. We do that every six months.
It opens many many doors for you, can't begin to count the amount of stuff I learned, the amount of opportunities that stemed from that (internships, jobs, grants... etc) and volunteers get to use all services the organization provides for free (so I got free education, very discounted health-related services for my family, etc.)

All this to say this is a nice place with a nice working environment (all things reddit is not), that actually gives voice and opportunities to everyone involved.
All that, and we still can't make most of our volunteers stay longer than a few months, because when any other compromise comes up, volunteer work is the first thing to go (which is logical, that's life). So good luck to reddit, getting anyone to stay without the proper tools and right in the middle of the IPO dumpster fire

Nice, dude! Cool design

I moved all useful resources and information to kbin, which Im organizing neatly in a one person one suscriber magazine. Then edited all my comments to that community to lead there.
If anyone comes looking for the info, they can find it.

That said, I just edited everything from this year and every single comment I made with 20 upvotes or more. My posts I hid from my profile, and either deleted, edited, marked NSFW or a combination of those options, the rest I left there cause I don't like deleting everythin willy nilly.
