Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.

    I just deleted all my previous posts on Reddit. Want to erase everything I can before leaving. Any hints on best way to wipe clean to avoid being used by AI?

        Somehow the complexity of using Lemmy compared to other social media sites and the decentralized nature of it has really gotten rid of the trollfarms and bot spam to a pretty good extent. I realize now that Reddit has such an insane amount of bad-faith actors that cause the site to be so toxic, same with all other mainstream social media.

          We definitely have our own bots and spam problems. Instance admins work diligently to keep the situation under control, and so far, they’ve been pretty successful. I’ve seen a few waves of it in my almost 2 years here.

          I don’t think there’s a way to make the problem go away completely, but I think this model has proven more resilient so far. I believe in it.

          I saw someone in a reddit thread about Lemmy earlier complaining that it wasn’t “user friendly” enough because someone posted an infograph on how the Fediverse works. Even though all the infograph was explaining was that you log into one instance and can freely interact with the rest from there…

          I’ve always thought the internet should be more decentralized and being able to log in without seeing tons of bots, reposts and propaganda is literally the best aspect of Lemmy for me. This feels like what social media was meant to be. I wish there was an easier way to get people to understand that.

        Same. And I have reddit and their nonsense ban hammer to thank for it.

      I came here with the API changes, but I knew there would be future waves. It’s so nice. I believe in Lemmy and the promise of federated media to help technology work for humans.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like this, like things here actually make sense. Sometimes I browse Reddit and I’m just like “when did you people start thinking like this?”. So bootlicky lol

      I first joined reddit in 2011 and Lemmy definitely reminds me of early reddit. Except back then I probably lurked for about a year before I even made my first comment or post. I joined Lemmy about a month ago and I’m slowly starting to participate already.

    Every subreddit that is banned needs to be recreated on Lemmy out of principle. Unless it’s gonna get our guy sued.

    Reddit says they care about freedom of speech and liberal views. I realized a long time ago that their view of liberalism is to allow people who follow their narrative and ban people who don’t.

      care about freedom of speech

      So did musk when he bought twitter.

      Companies don’t care about your rights. They care about your money.

    Ye… Reddit is run by one entity , while there’s absolutely also foul eggs on lemmy it’s way better over here , you can allways leave a badly maintained instance and go to a better one if you want.

    I am so close to deleting Reddit too, among all other American services I’ve been canceling since the beginning of the new year.

    It’s insane how crazy it’s gotten. I got like IP banned because I made a pretty calm but snarky remark at someone telling people they didn’t care about a kid dying because they weren’t donating to the funeral (which like, wat).

    So I’m hoping it’s at least a little better here

    I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that the RDDT stock price has dropped 40% in the last month, and it’s not surprising. That site is a sinking ship.
