I just deleted my 12yo account over the censorship. Reddit has become a draconian shit hole and I no longer want to be a part of it. I’m happy to be here.
I’m locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.
This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.
Cool the user count is going up, just hope it’s not going to be all bots and trolls 😆
I’m not a troll
People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.
Same, it was over for me when they took Boost away thankfully Boost pivoted to Lemmy lol
Joined up yesterday and have been pretty happy so far. Have been looking for an alternative so i could ditch reddit since the API changes and had no idea this place existed until i saw a random thread yesterday
I was fed up with reddit and looking to make a change that won’t put money in spez’s pocket, arrived a few days ago.
I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on ‘my other accounts’ – I’ve had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I’ve been there, I don’t even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it’s overturned I’m not sure I’m going back. They’ve gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it ‘inciting violence.’ Fuck 'em.
I gotta say, I respect what Lemmy does and hope it succeeds, and I think it’s a good place for discussions and such (and I will remain), but good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell. I’m struggling real hard to find some place with actually funny content on here, which leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics.
It’s better than it was a year ago so hopefully with more ex-Redditors it’ll diversify even more
good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell
I think c/lemmyshitpost quite funny, at least the posts itself, not sure about the comment-section…
leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics
Fair enough I think it’s also way to overloaded with the depressing evolution of american politics…
One of the problems with the way federation currently works is if I block US politics on one instance, I still get it en masse from other instances.
Before activity pub, all that duplication of threads would’ve been handled by moderators merging them together. Actually, it wouldn’t even have been so necessary since userscan see the existing thread and just post underneath that.
When blocking a community, we really need a check box to allow us to block the same community on all instances.
Aye People, recommend me some funny communities!
I mean, there are communities for funny stuff, but at least speaking of the ones I stumble upon on my main feed, a significant portion of the funny posts is rather old/recycled. Could be just my feed, though.
Unless there are communities I’ve missed, all the bigger communities post stuff one degree removed from advice animals. Maybe I need to look for the smaller communities

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!
But seriously this is good news and I’m glad to have you all here. Lemmy is in a pretty good position right now in terms of having a critical mass of users and decent traction within popular communities. At the very least it feels self-sustaining here.
And I am glad I am one of them. Not because of an anti-US sentiment (as in: towards American citizens) but as more pro-Europe move.
as if that’s not the same
Woo more people to join our cult. Everyone will get their robes in the mail
Wait, I’ve been here almost 2 years, where’s my robes‽
You know what you did
My guess is robe crimes
Namely disrobing at inopportune times.
>:( you know too much now
I cut the sleeves off of mine, that was probably my crime. Sleeves are like pants; the fewer you wear the better your day is.
You and I will be considered the early adaptors. People will guess as to why we migrated so early.
What’s the password?
Tap for spoiler
Fidelio gets the Pianist into trouble
The real robes were the Caroline’s we got DMed by along the way.
Is Caroline like the new Nicole? The site’s moving too fast already, I can’t keep up!
No, I’m just terrible with names… blew it again…
Well at least Nicole from Toronto in their inbox.
This is my first time here. I do not abide thought policing. Fuck Reddit, fuck Spez.
don’t worry, you have that here too. A lot less but still.
Me too, fck reddit, it’s no longer a board for broad discussions from all view points but instead an echo chamber of moderators curating their own narrative.
Where have you been the last DECADE?
The regime intervened from the time Reddit exploded and it became a too important medium to let exist uncontrolled.

Same as they did before:
https://mronline.org/2022/07/14/meet-the-ex-cia-agents-deciding-facebooks-content-policy/
Looks like lot of people are mad bcs now also their other side of the US regime is being targeted.
Not a peep from them when Reddit furiously removed and banned mild criticism of the Palestinian genocide, same for other topics.
I have a lot of questions about the f people complaining now.
Speaking of users, whatever happened to Flyingsquid?
Idk I was just thinking that last night, hasn’t been active in like 2 weeks. I hope they’re ok
Just noticed that it shows how many days ago I joined. The babies are taking over this thread. This is a baby-thread now.
What happened 2/12?
Hey everybody! This guy doesn’t know about 2/12! Let’s all laugh at him! Ha ha ha ha ha!
…I have no idea. Does ANYONE know what happened?
