May interest you in a blåhaj instead?

Im the person who's been "chosen by the people" to do "IT stuff". Family, friends, teachers, and neighbours reach out to me for the simplest tasks. Stuff they could probably figure out on their own, but insist I do for them.

I'm a nightmare for my school administrators, as I know my way around every blocking and monitoring thing they've set up on the school equipment.

I've also caused headaches for the entire city wide school system, as I got cloudflare to (unintentionally) block traffic from our ip address, and since all traffic is funnleded trough a VPN to a central gateway (all schools in said city use the vpn) ,meaning I blocked 66k kids from using the internet for 15m. ( I didn't get in trouble :3)

Jeez how long did it take to upload that 100tb? I've had files 50gb in size that have taken hours because of their 30-100mbps upload speed.

What's nice here is that the upvote to comment ratio is pretty low compared to reddit and other platforms, meaning one upvote here means a lot more than one upvote on reddit.

Also each post sparks cool and unique discussions so you get more out of reading and participating in the comment section.

And that's why I love this place

Mf looks like a botched restoration

Yup that's how that works for my fellow toasters

The forbidden fleshlight

idk the BMI is kinda high.

This is hilarious

The main cause for why I wanted to leave reddit was the "hustle" for getting as many upvotes as possible. It just felt like the content was not genuine, but merely manufactured for clicks, meaning that you wouldn't really get proper or meaningful conversations with other people. What triggered my switch to lemmy was reddit's api changes and the censorship moderators and spez did.

Here, I can have an actually meaningful conversation without the toxicity and childishness of redditors on reddit. One thing I miss though is leaving the huge bank of information that accumulated on that platform from decades of people sharing information.
