  I miss some of the more casual subreddits, and somehow Lemmy is even more of an echo chamber than Reddit is, but otherwise yeah, Lemmy is fine. Especially with the Photon frontend.

    It makes sense, those that backed off Reddit were more than likely against Corpo greed while conservatives cheer it on. Lemmy was created by leftists supposedly and more left leaning people joined after leaving reddit so it’s no surprise. Reddit kept the bootlickers and the lazy, Lemmy gained the anti-greed political left.

      The only problem is the Lemmy creators are also bootlickers, just the boots were made by a different colonial holding. I’m very thankful for instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone, beehaw.org, and slrpnk.net, as well as to a lesser extent lemmy.db0.net, but the fact is there’s a large number of bootlickers here who like a different flavor of boot

        Aww, DB0 appreciates you to a lesser extent too, buddy!

        Tasty, tasty capitalist boots with a lipservice communism sticker on the heel.

    Yeah I really miss the trumpers responding constantly to anything about him with absolute bullshit lies. That really added perspective to my worldview. Now, if we could only get some more people to join Lemmy who despise Linux /s

      There are centrists and even conservatives out there in the world who have valid perspectives and values but who are not Trumpers.

        Yes, valuable perspectives like UnIpArTy!!!1 and bOtH sIdEs!!!1

    I mean, it’s our fault as leftists that it is an echo chamber. We have forgotten how to talk about polemic issues among ourselves. I bet we lemmings have big differences (in the details) but we are afraid of bans or talking to walls, so…

  I left also, the API thing was the nudge I needed; I admit I’ve gone back for niche things: the fan groups of 2-3 bands and two TV shows. Reddit is their defacto fan forum for lots of things

    I was desperately waiting for an alternative to show up years before even the API changes. Anything that came up got taken over by Nazis and died shortly after. Lemmy is the only one that manages to actually take off.

      Eh, I’m still looking, but this one seems better than the others. I’ve been here a little over a year and it’s getting the job done.

        I’m looking forward to more piefed and Sublinks traction

  The worst part to me is the shadowbanning. It’s easy enough to tell if you’re shadowbanned (check subs or comment threads when signed out and in private mode to see if your stuff shows up), but you can’t see comments from other people who are shadowbanned. I want to see all points of view. And after the API changes, the sites for viewing removed or hidden comments stopped working :|

    Hear hear Shadow banning has been out of control on that site for years

• Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I tried checking it out recently just for the amount of content. The site is unusable now. Don’t bother to comment anything beyond a useless lol comment or you’ll get banned for every little thing. The mods really went power mad over there
