It's been a long time since I was invited to leave Twitter, and I left (now I'm the happiest person in the world in Mastodon). Now they invite me to leave Reddit... where am I going?

Welcome from the rest of us reddit transplants! I'd offer you punch but I think spez snuck in and peed in it.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I think notspez did it, but they did it as performance art, and I enjoyed it.

[-] Holyginz@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Enjoyed the art or enjoyed the pee punch?

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I was already pissed, I didn't need the punch to have a laugh.

No we don't! This isn't argument, it's contradiction! Yes it is! No it isn't! Yes it is! No it isn't!

Yeah totally. In fact, I'll be playing a live Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson tribute set next month so I'm thoroughly immersed in that music at the moment
