Why don’t we have similar class solidarity?

Because this wasn’t solidarity, it was Spez being Phony Stark’s bitch.

Because at least in America, we’re all just temporarily embarrassed billionaires. We’ve had a lifetime of brainwashing and conditioning to act against our own self interest.

Don’t worry, I’ll fix it all with my unchecked political influence once I earn my first billion.
(This is sarcasm.)
Zippity@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I read the article and the headline is more like click-bait. There’s a lot of innuendo, but not much in the way of factual reporting. I can’t stand the arrogance of Musk, I also believe that venerable reporting companies should be fact based.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Personally I couldn‘t care less about moderator outrage. Just read the room already and leave. No amount of kicking and screaming will take the platform off the hands of technofascists. You‘re clearly not valued there so why would they care if you cry about their decisions? Just grow a spine already.

Exactly, use the power of creation and make it all together in one day
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
They should only post critics of Doge now.
Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.
misteloct@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I did. I got banned for “Musk fuming is fatally toxic”. The platform is dead now. I bet he has good dirt on Huffman.
AbidanYre@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If they didn’t leave after all the crap Reddit has pulled in the last year, they aren’t going anywhere.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Reddit is solidly shitlib. They easily get more upset over policy than their own lack of influence over policy. These are people who think the elites care about petitions.
Everything from the last year pointed to this, they just had to see it.

I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.

“Spez’s website” when he wants to change policy, and “our community” when bots try to convince us to stay.

This (among other reasons) is why I left Reddit, deleted my account and move to Lemmy.world.

Is this the “free speech” everyone in 'Murica is talking 'bout?
iheartneopets@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Honestly, say something useful or keep it to yourself, OK? These lil ‘gotcha’ comments do nothing but take up space and make you feel a misplaced sense of having done something (when you’ve in fact, done nothing).
Stuff like this comment, the mango Mussolini comments, the evil Cheeto comments, it all just fucking does nothing while still making people feel like they’re being transgressive. You’re not. It diverts energy from doing/talking about stuff that affects real change.
AVengefulAxolotl@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Musk bought twitter because he wanted free speech…
Ironic huh
YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not ironic when you realize it’s this but literally. He wants to own all speech.
Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, wanted to own a mechanism of free speech so he could control it.
AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around trying to manipulate the stock price and accidentally made an agreement he couldn’t back out of. He tried. He failed. He was forced to buy it according to the terms he previously specified.
merdaverse@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He did. Free speech for bigots that is.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nah, he wanted to modify what was being said. He blocked and oppressed views he didn’t like. It was never free speech. It was always oppression.

Don’t let it piss you off. Just don’t participate. Leave Reddit. Leave FB. Delete, delete, delete.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Now we just need to make more Lemmy posts that aren’t about them.
LiPoly@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
It still impacts a lot of people because we here are in the minority and we can’t save them all. So it’s absolutely valid to have this piss you off.
PerfectDark@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.
But now, since early December I’m done-done.
My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I’m all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.
Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.
Spaniard@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting but thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.
drapermache@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I find it hard to leave reddit all together just because of the historical knowledge and the actual presence of niche communities. I wish people wouldnt flip out about choosing a server when signing up for lemmy. They act like you have to have a computer science degree to make the switch.
PerfectDark@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.
But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)…with how they treated us and will continue to?
My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I’m far happier here now.
menemen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.
Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I don’t feel bad that I got banned by the guy behind the cybertruck. Ahahahaha.

So the Twitter boss gets to order around the Reddit boss? Typical Stevie… No spine
KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
One of the most recurring things I see here is the mods are at wits end with Reddit Admins again. They’ve given up a lot of leverage in doing another blackout, but they really need to ask themselves what they have to gain being unpaid volunteers for a website clearly working against its users.

I no longer have an account, but I lurk in /r/wallstreetbets to read the comments now that the market is so fucked.

Exactly. Just delete your account!

Let’s see, what useful welcomes advice can I share…?
- You’ll find lots of Linux users here, but we’re harmless.
- I’m not sure our interpretation of Star Trek’s
Gowronhas any remaining relationship with the original character, but I guess he’s one of our mascots, now. - If one of us starts to go on about how federation works, it’s okay to nod and back away slowly. Federation works just fine without understanding it.

i feel like musk is going to demand reddit get rid of old reddit next because it’s too nice a layout
njordomir@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s what every company/organization I’ve ever worked for has done. Oh, this intranet tool works okay and no one is complaining. Lets redo it in a “modern” style… (adds whitespace and truncates every meaningful text field so you have to mouseover and scroll for miles to read any of them even on a 4k display).
I think part of why Reddit succeeded initially was because it had some very KEY strengths/advantages. I would say that the old design and the URL scheme are part of that. It fit any screen nicely from phone though 4k TV, portrait displays, whatever. It was a simple design, but extensible by custom CSS and if you knew what you wanted, you could skip straight there by typing r/ or u/ in your URL. Enough reminiscing, if old reddit is gone,I don’t know if I’ll even be able to use reddit at all for anything. New reddit is one of those interfaces, like twitter, that never really made sense or worked for me. I’m just a Lemmy guy I guess.
Ushmel@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I could deal with the aesthetics if they kept the core function of old.reddit. But they didn’t. I see “trending” posts more than I see posts from subs I have joined and that’s what eventually has driven me from the site. Every time I log in, it’s whack a mole with random bot repost subs.

I got banned from Reddit because I made a suggestion on what should happen to a violent bull terrier dog that attacked a family member
And they had a child
No free speech on Reddit
I think they have people move in to moderator roles that can choose to ban people who disagree with their opinions

This story compelled me to finally commit to using Lemmy.

Grangle1@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Tired of government censorship, whether it’s left or right wing. They both do it, and it sucks either way. Then both sides will “champion free speech” when they’re not the ones in power.
WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 1 year ago
You’re completely right, both sides have speech they find unacceptable. But lets try to look at it a little closer, what kind of speech does the left try to ban?
Mostly stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, stuff that hurts others and keeps them down. But i agree, sometimes they take it too far. A lot of left leaning people are very sensitive.
What kind of speech does the right want to ban? Mostly stuff about their human rights violations, as far as i can tell.
Two sides of the same coin, i guess.

Reddit died June 2023
I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse
iLStrix@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Because they have a monopoly on old and especially niche knowledge/communities (also new niche knowledge/communities). As much as I hate it, that’s why I personally still have to use reddit sometimes.
vrek@programming.dev 1 year ago
I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This post has 278 comments
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Legitimately who cares though? You‘re not in it for the money with Reddit either.
merdaverse@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean, does it really matter? Are you going to read 100 responses on a single post? I feel from Reddit that the larger communities get the shittier they get. More people = smaller intersection of common ground, which leads to dull content and repeating platitudes.
GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You obviously weren’t here for the guy who didn’t want to poop for days. There were a LOT of replies on that one.
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Literally the next post under this one, sorting by 112h top posts, has 147 comments
blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Tbh I’ve decided I can live with less and less of this. I’ll never go back to the giant ad covered spaces. But if this doesn’t pickup or even dies, meh
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
I’ve never considered that a limitation.
You only need one other person an addition to yourself, for a good discussion.
If anything, on Lemmy I’m finding I actually get replies, because I didn’t among a hundred others.
Jordan117@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Might be your settings. When I flip the front page to “Active” most of the posts have hundreds of comments (though I prefer setting it to “Top Six Hours”).
kungen@feddit.nu 1 year ago
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Like 6 good ones and a bunch of the same tired comments about poop knives, broken arms, same, this.
Here, at least most of the answers are real human beings trying to contribute to a conversation.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.

Thank fuck I deleted my account when they “accidentally” banned a bunch of subreddits that were related to trans or LGBTQ folk. I found that disgusting.
LucidLyes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wow now I feel justified for leaving and feel like I should do another post where I tell people to follow us here
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
They mostly ban our accounts when we do, but I don’t mind. I like to tell people when the party has moved, if they seem cool.
