  • 10 years last July almost 400k karma. I’d like to say I left for all sorts of noble reasons to do with awards or API, but mostly I just left because Lemmy is a nicer space to hang out in and reminds me of my early days on the internet with BBSs and the like. On Reddit as an older woman we are constantly made aware it’s not a space where we are really wanted, though there are a lot more of us on there in our own little niches than I think a lot of younger male users realise. So I’m here hoping Lemmy will continue to feel more open to everyone, and if it doesn’t hell I’ll start a server for us old farts.



  • Not a lot of people realise that the lidocaine you get at the dentists also contains epinephrine to make it last long. Which can play merry hell with your blood pressure. I can’t have epinephrine for other medical reasons besides the way it messes with your blood pressure and honestly I prefer it, I’m numb long enough to do the surgery and it’s all gone in half an hour or so instead of a numb face for half the day.
