    I’m from the U.S.

    One of my gift exchange people were from Norway. My extended family is from Norway and I had been dying to visit.

    I kept in touch with my gift person and we actually met in person in Oslo. Was a great day.

    I love what I’ve experienced through reddit.

    But,

    #Fuck /u/spez

    I’m officially out by July 1st.

      That’s amazing! Last year we tried and failed to get tickets to see the Green Bay Packers (my team) play in London, as I’d never seen them in person before. Was a bit gutting to miss out, but there was huge demand so such is life.

      Commiserated with others in the Reddit thread, congratulated those who managed to get in, etc etc. Then I got a random message from a stranger, offering me free tickets.

      Obviously that sounds like a scam and as a woman on Reddit you’re naturally wary of unsolicited messages anyway, but TLDR it was a real offer, we got ourselves down to London and met this amazingly generous Redditor and his wife and spent a fantastic day, er, watching my team get trashed by the Giants!

      So yes, Reddit had potential for these connections that would otherwise never have happened, and I’ll definitely miss that side of it. But ultimately that was the people, not the platform itself, so I guess what I’m saying is all we need to do is build Lemmy into a place those kinds of people want to hang out.
