Silly question. Is Reddit still banning comments that say Lemmy?
I don’t have an account.
Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public

The only Reddit alt I need is Lemmy.

Dunny. I’ve mentioned it a few times. I don’t think they’re still removing them but I bet they are still suppressing them
hector@lemmy.today 3 days ago
Idk, but now that you mention iy, I got a 2nd violation, for threatening violence that did not do so or even come close, to the point I think it was ad hoc in bad faith, to say for other reasons. I did mention lemmy not long before.

If they are advertising on Digg may work.
I’d like to see this place just a bit better

I have a link to my Lemmy profile on my Reddit profile and not even shadowbanned 🤷

Idk, I think there are also legitimate arguments for piefed !
Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 3 days ago
What’s piefed? I looked at it and mostly saw lemmy instances.
ambitiousslab@feddit.uk 3 days ago
It’s an alternative to Lemmy (still using the same underlying protocol) with some different features. There’s more info on the differences here.

Such as?

To add to the other comment, the fucking blocking functionality just works.
On Lemmy it’s half assed so you can’t completely defed/block:
- If someone crossposts it to another instance it appears on the feed
- If you (as a normal user) block an instance you still see the crossposts and their users
On piefed you have many block options and they just work.

Haven’t tried piefed so I can’t say.

Doesn’t piefed have that controversial hardcoded blocklist? I’ve heard that meme communities and similar are filtered out using hardcoded keywords matched aganst community name.
Why hardcode this??? Imposing your preferences on everyone seems like a bad idea.

Piefed and Lemmy are basically the same thing on different websites

I could go for a text only version of this

That’s what Usenet was.

yeah it was pretty good I was there
FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I miss it. SLRN and proper score file made it the best information tool on the internet back in the day.
RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
That would be nice. It can probably be done by blocking images at the browser level. Wouldn’t be the same as a text only site though.

lemmy certainly scratches the doomer/black pill/commie itch in everyone

I’m starting to agree. Was a bit quiet and weirdly obsessed with Linux when I first signed up, but now I really like it. I’ve decided to stay.

Anything that takes users away from Reddit, and forces Reddit to compete, is a plus for me.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
Being owned by venture capitalists is pretty much an assurance that they’ll turn it to shit as much as they can get away with. The entire reason people abandoned digg for reddit in the first place was because it was selling out to ad space and shill accounts and manipulation. The venture capitalists will want big returns on their investments.
RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
Competition is good. Also the less data Reddit has, the slower A.I. models can be trained.
scarabic@lemmy.world 2 days ago
That’s a fair point. Reddit has been openly hostile to its own users these past several years. It might help moderate that to have another alternative on the table, even if it too is a soulless corporate enterprise.
Perspectivist@feddit.uk 3 days ago
This is quite toxic attitude. You should focus on what’s good for you - not what’s bad for someone else.
naught101@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Eh, what’s bad for capitalists is what’s good for the rest of us
Scrollone@feddit.it 3 days ago
I don’t agree. We’re not talking about a person or a charity. We’re talking about a VC-backed company. They can fuck off and die, and it’s not toxic – it’s just common sense.
hector@lemmy.today 3 days ago
But two corporate entities competing are better than one secure in it’s market share.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 days ago
But competition IS good for me.
If people start migrating to better experience and better communities, they’re going to have to step up to stop the bleeding.
Reddit can get away with making terrible user experiences and killing 3rd party solutions because no alternative has lured enough of their base away.
