If you’re not a russian orc troll, you’re not welcome on reddit these days.
Welcome to Lemmy, where the only people you can’t criticize safely are the Muslims and Chinese.
Someone should start Blueit. See cuz they blew it, get it?
Top tier pun
Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.
You can’t even play Nintendo these days
We’re Gooigi gang here. So watch yourself.
Reddit simply doesn’t want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content. Much better for advertising revenue that way.
Removed by mod
Why would you spam in this thread?
So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?
Less dumping ground and more release valve. The people Reddit is jettisoning are many of their more active and prodigious content creators and contributors. The site admins simply don’t want new human content anymore. They want passive observers who will consume advertisement content without creating drama.
Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase ‘burn it all down’ entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn’t like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.
I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I’d like to roast marshmallows over that fire.
Yes it’s how I got here, and hopefully Lemmy doesn’t turn to shit the way reddit did because of its decentralized nature I hope
Yep, that is why I am here
Honestly that’s how I got here lol.
Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let’s be real, Lemmy doesn’t have as much content or user interaction.
It’s allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities
You get used to it. Been here happily for coming on two years. Honestly, less content means I can’t scroll 24/7 which has turned into a positive for me.
Fewer niche communities definitely sucks though. Time to start one I guess? :P
Odd since it’s arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account
But why would I want to make a new account on Reddit after getting banned for saying things that people need to hear?
If Reddit wants some passive bullshit audience that can’t talk back, and that swallows bullshit posting, I’m good elsewhere.
That would assume you dont have a grudge against the site for banning you.
New to Lemmy and this is me to a T. Reddit just banned my 11+ year old account for expressing my anger at the continued fascist attacks on my country (Canada). So fuck em, I’m not going to bend over backwards trying to make an alt account they won’t flag, I’ll be sad for the Reddit of bygone days but it’s gone now, the new one is rotten to the core.
I think it’s more like getting used to the freedoms of Lemmy increases the likelihood of popping up on the radar of some dubious Reddit admins.
Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let’s encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?
You have a 300 day streak of using heroin, don’t stop now!
But my streak is at 419, I can’t stop now!
people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform
Hey! (You’re absolutely right)
Daily usage streaks isn’t a “screwed up” notification.
Plenty of people read a newspaper everyday. Or check socials each day.
A more accurate measure for unhealthy, addictive usage would be hours per day, or week.
These days both Twitter and Reddit have wacky UI messages written by completely different teams. One team is all business-like as in “Here’s some stern warnings you’re not going to like.” The other team is all casual and wayyy too friendly and fellow-kidsy, like “Did someone say MEMES?” (to which most reasonable people respond “fuck you Elon/Spez, you’re not funny”)
It’s just the same team doing both
Exactly like my account except 30ish days ago. Welcome to Lemmy! If you’re reading this comment the ban bots haven’t taken over:
Luigi Mangione Innocent Death Elon Musk Trump
Reddit created an account on your behalf and banned you again for this
Reddit bans you again in absentia
It’s a bot farm.
Everything is just rage bait
Reddit banned all the people that made it fun, now the only people left are the boring ones and bots lol
Won’t be long before it becomes the next 9gag
And porn
Even that is getting culled. Reddit recently nuked r/nsfw which is like the OG porn subreddit. Apparently the Reddit execs learned nothing from the demise of Tumblr.
Yeah, can’t just hang out over there being a decent human being, they want to the the new compliment to X
Reading all these ban stories, I’m glad I left during the API thing! I don’t like censoring myself.
I got banned for pointing out that ICE are a human trafficking terrorist gang
They ban facts now? Wow what a dump, I hope everyone that works there is time-teleported into an Auschwitz shower in 1944.
If you ever wonder why nobody calls it terrorism when America does it, it is because people are not allowed to do so.
Lemmy isn’t much better. We still need communities that don’t allow mod abuse.
If you get reported enough, the mods will censor or ban you even if you’re not breaking any rules.
Lemmy isn’t much better!?
Whatever you say, man.
The instance you are registered in is one of a few that are the non fun parts of this platform
