meanwhile random residential internet speeds in tokyo beating out every consumer connection available in my area (and country I assume):

i joined mastodon in 2017. at the time i was also cutting off whatsapp and facebook and was just generally getting deeper into foss and fedi.

at the same time i was a heavy reddit user and was looking for fedi-based alternatives. i was following prismo development for a while, but that never took off.

i eventually joined lemmy in 2020 but never really found the community, that reddit had (and tbf still has for most topics).

last year during the API fiasco i finally made this account and have been pretty happily reading (and sometimes posting) here.
