Wrong answers only. The stranger the better!
People started to hate the new Digg layout and spilled over to Lemmy.
I thought it’s a platform for Motörhead fans
Personally, I came here for the ads
I was elated when reddit announced they blocked 3rd party apps, gently but affirmingly guiding me to the ads. It always makes my day better to browse through some targeted ads with my content on the side, like a balanced breakfast meal. The dopamine rush I get from buying plastic objects off of Amazon is just too damn good. Thank god for these changes. Bless you, spez.
I can’t tell if this is a serious question or not, but it’s pretty complicated to fully explain. The short of the long of it is that now that MySpace has started to use retina verification for their 2FA, people are upset that it’s an invasion of privacy due to the reflective nature of human ball eyes. Since Lemmy only requires a password for mod accounts, it’s an easier platform for people to use to share embedded auto play music and glittery gifs. I don’t think it’ll last though, word on the street is that Digg is going to be removing all authentication methods soon, so I expect a majority of the userbase will move there
It was me
Word got out about the amazing and intuitive UI, and the ease with which you can find and subscribe to your interests. Personally, I’m never going back to AOL.
We were all going to reddit, when a Blocker Lemming was placed in front of us. One Basher and an Umbrella later, we all ended up here.
Now, just waiting for the bomber lemming deep inside reddit to do its thing.
Investigators say it is due to a large network of alien ships outfitted with technology far surpassing our current level that NASA confirmed entered the Solar System in 1994. In 2023 these ships entered Low-Earth Orbit and began to enter the atmosphere. Videos circulating all over social media claim that the alien ships expelled a gray material into the sky, later confirmed by air quality specialists to be nanoscale bots designed specifically to phase through the skull layer into the human brain, presumably as a form of mind control.
For reasons beyond human comprehension, these nanobots made changes to the human brain’s neuronal topology to then artificially introduce an urge to check out Lemmy. It is also suspected that these alien ships may have also performed mind control operations on Reddit’s high-ranking employees to induce these controversial API changes to further drive traffic to Lemmy and most importantly, save on nanobots.
We assume that these alien ships would have to spend hundreds of thousands of years in interstellar space to return to their homeworld to pick up more, so it would be reasonable that they would take measures to minimize their nanobot usage.
Does that have to do with this “Alien Blue” I kept reading about?
Investigators are aware of the “Alien Blue” subject that has consistently come up in discussions. Rest assured the Lemurian Alien Encounter Investigation Board is doing its best to investigate the connections between Alien Blue and these aliens, who have now been designated “Alien Race no. 1994-2108X” through an agreement between the Lemurian Alien Encounter Investigation Board, NASA, ESA, JAXA, the Philippine Space Agency, Roscosmos, and ISRO.
/r/ufos was right all along
Everyone was watching the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie one day, they googled Motörhead after hearing them perform You Better Swim in the bar scene, and the rest is history.
Communism. Americans decided they would fight KKK and Nazism with the same vigor and discovered that communism was way better.
Nothing wrong with communism but we joined Lemmy because we love China’s brand of far-right
The transdusing trinometer was incorrectly orientated resulting in a near waveform collapse. Of course, this resulted in micro collisions in the electrophase limiter. Resulting in the redirection of significant portions of the redditoids to lemmy.
I love VX bro
A new algorithm was entered into our mainframe to help persuade us all to join a new website. In the control universe, life is going on as normal.
We live in the timeline where open source software is allowed to proliferate. Once we start getting too powerful they’ll have to shut it down and try another timeline
Lemmings have become the most popular animal on the planet, all the new users are confused as to what a lemming is.
elon is going to buy lemmy
