Just wondering what brought everyone here.
Background: I was banned from Reddit for questioning the system and feel that true leftist ideologies on Reddit are severely censored (despite being considered one of the few last leftist social media platforms). I think the left needs more tech literacy and I hope the Fediverse is the future.
So, I am wondering what made folks curious about alternative options?
Terrible Reddit experience; I still wanted to answer questions because of boredom just not on Reddit. Long story short, I experienced a romance scam/sextortion where a Reddit user manipulated me into sexting him by being my “friend” and he knew I was at a vulnerable place in my life because I told him that I was healing from a breakup since I genuinely thought he wanted to help and get to know me—he figured that I was lonely and hurt. Thankfully, I was quick enough to stop the convo before he threatened me to send him money or other things. Lesson learned.
