In a 2020 post, Lemmy’s co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. "It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals.
Why is it called Lemmy 🤔?

I never cared much about Reddit, but then again, I'm not using Lemmy either. So maybe you're right.

This confused me, because your name is just @cabbage. Which indicates that you’re on my instance. @cabbage@lemmy.world.
Instead, you’re @cabbage@piefed.social
But you show up as @cabbage.
I don’t understand life.

Please stop. This is cringe and old. Not everyone is here for that.

There’s nothing old about how shitty Reddit has become when nothing has changed. Run by a greedy CEO, shitty admins, shitty mods, full of ads and bots, and now getting data scraped for AI training.
To suggest this is old news is to suggest people should just forget about it and move on. Welp, nothing has changed, and if anything, Reddit has gradually been getting even worse.
Act like I signed up for my data to be scraped?
FUCK SPEZ!!!
