i used the android app "reddit is fun". i had stopped using reddit well before the api and public offering drama so i had absolutely no idea it was going on. i needed to get an answer to a question and the google search led to a reddit link. typically i normally chose web links, but this time i said, what the hell, and opened the link with rif. then i read the changelog of the app. that pointed to a lemmy instance for rif (which does not have a lemmy version btw) and that's where i caught up on all the bullshit i missed during the intervening 3 years.
ps i also have a .ml account. it was the easiest one to create an account with at the time. if i could transfer all the stats and comments i made with this account and transfer it to one that allowed swearing (for instance you can't use the word that describes selling one's self for money or other favors that sounds similar to a garden tool called a hoe) i'd do it.
