    Hi hello. Just got my Lemmy account today. A refugee from Reddit. I had been a reddit user for over 11 years. Apparently I pissed off an admin saying something. I’m not sure exactly what because the comment was deleted and they banned me. I assume the comment was related to Canada and Trump nonsense. Whatever.

    This is actually great timing because I didn’t want to use a social media company in the US given the state they are in now and the direction they’re heading.

    Being a left leaning Canadian, getting banned from reddit was probably just a matter of time anyway.
