Left because any form of critique gets you a ban. People rather look away from problems so they can say they don’t see any.
Hey to everyone moving in from reddit. Don’t forget that lemmy can’t fill the void you’re trying to fill without content.
Thanks to the federated nature of lemmy, we have infrastructure, we just need more creators on it.
Genuine Question: What do you think of ATProtocol and the apps for it: Bluesky, Spark, Flashes?
I don’t use the protocol, so I can’t give much opinion
The permabans they are issuing in large numbers kinda indiscriminately is causing them to flee to their sites
Fuuuuuuuuuck spez
The police should check his hard drive
That’s the pedophile piss baby aka u/spez aka Steve Huffman, right? As in the guy that moderated a pedo sub?
What a greedy little pis baby pig boy.
Exactly the same. I got critical of the right and all of a sudden banned for violence ? After 12 years ? And me NEVER calling for harm to anything.
But I got hyper critical of the right and that’s what did it.
Reddit is and has failed.
They’re selective about who’s protected by that rule too. I got banned for saying shit about child molesters while there was simultaneously a thread on the front page with people saying the same shit about a business executive. Those comments were still up weeks after I appealed my ban asking what the difference was. Never got an answer.
I didn’t even say anything that crazy, just called Elon Musk a potato and they nuked my 14 year account.
So here I am. How is it so far?
Same! Hello fellow 12 years on reddit expat
Yeah, i got banned because i literally told someone to fix their bot that had spammed me for years!!!
Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.
Burrito pilled Lemmy maxing
Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I’m proud of how far we’ve come.
What about Lemmy-pilled burrito maxing, are we cool with that too?
frfr
Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.
I would expect Moscow or St Petersburg.
Because you’ve been propagandized to hell. A lot of people have. Which is why everyone lost their shit about “Russian interference” over a couple of shitty memes from Russian sources during an election, but didn’t seem to give a shit about electioneering from domestic propaganda sources.
You’re getting far more propaganda from your own country than any other foreign entity, I promise you.
I I know people in russia (friends of friends) who were paid per comment on american and russian social in support of putin and Trump before his first election. Mostly students, there were farms of them. This thing is real, and back then we talked how most of the discussion online is not real
I got shadowbanned after finally actively posting… On r/BuyFromEU… idk man
Shadowbanning in Europe is very hard to pull off without crossing DSA and GDPR rules, which require transparency and informing of the user. Specifically DSA Article 17.
Here’s a Dutch case regarding it: https://dsa-observatory.eu/2024/08/06/the-dsas-first-shadow-banning-case/
I’m posting this because if you are European, you should be informed of any shadowban, which makes it a normal ban by definition. If you had to investigate and found out you are shadowbanned, your rights have been violated. I think the best way to get something going is by using a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body, although there’s probably a lot of other ways. And if you don’t want to return to Reddit anymore, it might be fun to throw some legal shit at their shit platform on your way out.
My reddit account suddenly got a lot of “server errors”, can’t post anymore and likes don’t count towards the streak. Since getting the “Network errors” I’ve also been getting 0 interaction.
I do actually live in the Netherlands now, what could I do to try and cause some chaos for this bs without paying for it? It happened to my last reddit account as well which a subreddit mod literally told me was shadow banned (like over 5 years ago now) and I should get that checked out.
How recently did this happen to you? I get errors now too and am wondering if there was a recent Reddit ban wave
Say about 3-4 days ago
reddit died when it became a publicly traded company. now it is just another propaganda tool
This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
Welcome to the party! Can I offer you a cat pic in these trying times?
I love it.
Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.
Fuck Reddit.
Yes, and fuck discord apparently ?
What did discord do?
Selling out to the capitalist war machine. I was recommended to check out Matrix. Feel free to do the same.
Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
Same — I never used Reddit but I found out about Lemmy from a Content Creator I enjoy. Seemed cool, a few privacy policies later and I’m here. The more I read about Reddit the more I’m glad I never used it.
I was super late to the party. Wasn’t really a heavy user until right around the API changes.
You picked a decent, reliable instance. Good choice.
Don’t forget to block the Hexbear and LemmyGrad instances! Full of nothing but fake communist trolls.
Oh dear. I don’t even know how to do that. I really appreciate the feedback.
Gimme a few minutes to tinker around in the settings.
EDIT: done. Thank you again.
Finally made the jump. Reddit is a right-wing cesspool of censorship.
Right wing? You must be fucking high
Whatever makes you feel better. The user ase may be left-wing, the admins and mods screw heavily right-wing.
You sound insane to me but you’re probably a young person. Seems for you younger people anything that isn’t authoritarian left is “right wing”
Yep this is what finally did it for me to ditch that piece of junk
Welcome! Please create content, both by posting and commenting!
Help the community grow!
Hi! I plan to, just need to settle in yet! Currently looking for a ios client that has the voting buttons on the left side (while scrolling) or has an option to move them over there as I am left handed and it’s just easier for me
Hello! Not sure about other apps but Voyager has swipe on the left to upvote
Welp, just moved into Lenny, hello yall
Hello. There are thousands of us!
We’re beyond dozens?!?!
10 years on reddit, surprised about my comments never getting the same traction as identical comments. 3 days ban for insinuating a billionaire performing a Nazi salute may indeed be a Nazi, second ban for insinuating violent action sometimes needs to be taken in defense of democracy. Permaban for (politely and positively) judging the looks of someone that asked to be judged through a photography, and clearly needed lo lift up their self-esteem.
I rage quit reddit and delete my account that I opened long ago with the Google account I have recently cancelled.
I decide that maybe it deserves a second chance, so I create a new account with the email I account I host myself in my own server with my own domain.
The exact same comments I posted, with the exact same content and intention now get thousands of upvotes (so clearly, I had been shadowbanned for years)
Fuck them. Hello community, looking forward to have constructive interactions here.
15 years on reddit. Multiple accounts banned for slamming Nazis. So I’m here slamming Nazis. Long live Lemmy.
Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.
