      Why do you think we’re here?

      I think that depends largely on somebody’s “join” date. If they’re under 6 months old, they probably got banned/censored from Reddit. If they joined in the last 6-12 months, it’s probably because of Reddit’s AI policies. If they joined 12-18 months ago, it was probably due to the API changes shutting down third-party apps. If they’re older than that, then they’re probably just tankies.

        I get your point but I left reddit & joined the lemmyverse just a week ago, and did not get banned/censored.

        I just felt that a ton of small niggles both technical and content-/moderation-wise had accumulated towards a tipping point.

        I have used old.reddit for the longest time and there’s always been some glitches (…). There seem to be delays, and they’re getting longer. Whether this is just old.reddit or in general, I do not care.

        There are other indicators that reddit isn’t interested in keeping old.reddit working. It’s just a question of time.

        Then there’s bots, including wetware bots. Whether they’re just re-posting to farm karma or actively flooding certain topics with vile opinion or - after a noticeable delay that has nothing to do with timezones - tip the up/downvote balance in their favor: they are here, and it’s not getting better.

      Your submission was removed as it advocates violence against either a specific person or a group of people. This rule includes thinly-veiled threats, or slogans such as “Eat the Rich”. This is against Lemmy’s terms of service. (/s)

    I commented supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods - an economic protest and it got removed by Reddit admins for “glorifying violence”

      well yeah; corporations are people too. they’re the MOST people people. can’t be violent against them.

      only minorities-ethnic, gender&sexual, religious, political, etc, aren’t people. it’s fine to post your smuttiest snuff fantasies about us.

        Sometimes it’s not even direct violence, redlining is sufficient to keep you stuck where they want you to be

          no but see it’s not violence at all, because it’s against minorities. so it’s fine. whereas the mildest fraud of your bank is literally worse than the holocaust.

      Don’t you know, it’s considered violence to use economics against the rich, that’s only allowed against the poors

      I’ve been posting lemmy on reddit, and have gotten a few bans for my trouble.

      I welcome the bans.

      I finally gave up today. Well over a decade there and I’m f’ing done. Just got things going here, I hope it goes well.

        Surprised you waited this long. I left when they decided to get rid of 3rd party apps.

          I gave up yesterday. I was using boost and it still worked with Reddit after some fiddling. But two days ago domain errors finally stopped boost.

          Now I’m here and am learning how bad the censorship has gotten. I knew it wasn’t great but wow.

          I joined kbin during that exodus, but I follow very niche hobbies and it was a ghost town in lemmyverse then. I come back now and it is really popping off.

    I’m just going to assume every billionaire pulling this shit for trump has an unfathomably disgusting record in the Epstein files. There’s no way that every single one of them is deciding to be this overtly fucking pathetic.

      It is crazy how they all lined up to do this to us in the age where nobody can agree on anything…

      All of these parasites are aligned on fucking over the country and the peasants

    I love how Reddit has been supporting the right side of American politics since TD was a thing. Spez is such a pos coward.

      While spez is a musk worshipping bootlicker now, back then he and most of the site were categorically against t_d. Your understanding of that time is pretty off.

      If Spez wasn’t taking the Trump Coin to do ideological warfare on his behalf, he’d either be out on his ass or six feet under like Aaron Swartz. Then you’d have another Millennial corporate shit to hate in his stead.

      At some point, you can’t hate the player, just the game.

    Let me try something:
    People, who own over a billion dollars, should be killed, cut apart and their body parts be prepared and eaten.

      No, no.

      We have advanced compost and agricultural strategies to employ here.

      Let’s compost their bodies, use them to fertilize fruit trees!

      now it’s just molesting the corpse. there are extra holes, we don’t know what it made them with and we don’t want to. anyone nearby can smell it. the body isn’t super recognizable, and reality is fighting off raccoons, vultures, etc. for it’s claim.

      soon the splinters of bone will be ground down and made into a concrete fleshlight. reality will keep fucking it until heat death, or we do something about the situation.
