They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
I love Reddit so much, but the censorship is bullshit! I quit the entire META platform months ago, lost a lot of contacts but fuck Zuckerberg!
Yeah I quit a while back. I thought it would be harder, I had several old accounts, moderated a couple of small subs, had loads of karma, spent at least an hour a day being active on there. I realised all that shit was sunk cost fallacy and I’m glad I finally left.
What I find ironic about this whole situation is that the conservatives had a major uproar after they discovered that the Biden administration told Meta/Facebook to censor COVID misinformation. But now that it’s them telling social media platforms to censor content critical of Musk and DOGE? Complete and utter silence. Free speech my ass. Source
I’m here because I got shadowbannned for some unspecified reason.
Mass edit your comments while you still can. I got halfway through my history before being blocked.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that just about everyone on Lemmy originally came from reddit.
Yeah, I’d deleted my Reddit posts and then my account in November. I was already irked at what they did to their API, and then the Orange Dingbat got elected and I decided it was enough.
Later on, I went back, but only to lurk, but since many of the specialised subs require that you join in able to read posts makes it pretty unusable at this point.
I miss the old Reddit; I was there for over a decade. But here we are, building a new place for ourselves.
Almost like the sites need the users more than the users need the sites.
Social platform capitalism. Yupppp
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
Seems too easy on him. I like the hanging. Or the drugs that work so badly.
I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing
I said justice would’ve seen Trump tried on January 7th and hung on January 8th. That got me a soft ban. Then I said kill all Nazis but six and save them for pallbearers. That got me a permaban. Tearing the bandaid off on 12 years of comments and posts hurt but so far I like the attitude of Lemmy a lot better. It feels like real conversation instead of just shitposting and trolling.
Trump committed treason on jab 6th 2021. That is enough reason to hang him and yet he still breaths.
You can’t just cite established law without thinking about what Musk/Trump think. What do you think this is, a democracy?
Welcome, reddit refugees. You won’t miss Spezzit.
My posts and comments were being censored too. Nothing related to Musk nor politics, Good thing I switched over. This is my new home.
People need to stop using reddit.
Friends don’t let friends visit Reddit.
I deleted my last alt account last week. I’m done.
They’re still pressuring and mass banning
This is why I left Reddit.
The same mods who arbitrarily ban users while without showing what rule they claim was broken?
And who refuse to explain even when asked?
If they don’t block you for asking
That’s more or less why I left reddit came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
Welcome here!
I got here because they killed Apollo 🫶🏻 never forget
I use Voyager now for lemmy
Yep, Reddit pushed me this way too, but I’m much happier. Welcome!
Unlike others, i didn’t get banned from Reddit, i just wanted to get a head-start learning this site, because Reddit is on the way to become X2.
I’m brand new as well and hopeful but wow the smaller forums here need some love. The topic variety is small to the point where maybe straight up bot cloning subreddits here where posts on Reddit just get reposted to their Lemmy equivalent to kick start refugees feeling at home. Plus if there’s basically cross platform discussion posts it gives ground for users of existing subreddits to migrate.
I have yet to come across a repost community here that actually gets any comments on the posts. I wound up unsubscribing from all of them because they just clog up my feed.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Think of it of getting in at the ground floor, where we’ll create topics and in-jokes that will be repeated ad nauseum for decades!
Welcome friend!!
Welcome to the party!
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
same!
Welcome for both of us! :)
I’ve been here for about a month, switching bettween this and Reddit, while still mostly using Reddit. This made me leave Reddit completely. This and getting banned for 3 days for upvoting a comment was the final straw.
In over 2 decades of internet, i can safely say banning users for upvoting things is the most ridiculous thing i’ve ever seen a discussion board ever do. Just remove upvotes at this point and have the feed curated by Lord Muskrat.
Similar final straw for me.
I had wrote an anti putin thing under a post of Selenskyj where he stated putin will soon die, I confirmed that I hope so too and got like 400 upvotes and a hour or two later got deleted and a 3 day ban.
Welcome, fellow ex redditor.
Thanks :)
Same. Just created my account
Welcome fellow former redditor!
I think we chose right.
This happened to me like 10 times so I came here.
I’m sure this wasn’t designed as an exodus of critical thinkers
Welcome!
In case you’re very new, I should mention something about this place…
We have the best Star Trek memes, here…
Well, the most anyway…
Okay not the most…
But our devotion to Star Trek memes is both adorable and worrying.
No shit, that explains Reddits noticeable change in moderation after the election.
Before it, it’s PC paradise now a days.
I wonder how many people will struggle to cut themselves off from their reddit crackpipe. So many people are still using Meta shit even after it’s been overtly weaponized against dissidents.
I bet only a handful know about it.
Ah…ah…ah…ach-<no one should be allowed to bomb hospitals>-choo!
Where’s the freedom of speech Americans are so proud of
Boooo
Oh good job Musk! Bring them all here! Right into our icy flippers!
Flippers because we’re penguins because we love Linux?
We’re not going to live down that time we held a guy at gunpoint in Grand Theft Auto to help him consider switching to Linux, are we?
No commrade senior citizen most equal of all pimball_wizard, we are not :'[
Seems to be working.
I see many new ex redditors here like me
✋
Add “brown nosing spinless wimp” to the list of acceptable descriptors of Spez
Fuck u/spez
This works here right
always and forever
Ah the “free speech absolutist” strikes again.
I have been less active there since the API fracas, and since they announced they’re policing upvotes? I haven’t been active at all.
Reddit has been compromised by the oligarchs.
Just a reminder that if Musk can do this with no ownership of reddit, you know the CCP through Tencent has been doing it for ages.
Musk, the great champion of freedom of speech!
It feels like a warped in to another dimension. Did everyone start using only 5 years ago?
I never believed reptilian conspiracy theories but now every time i see his photo and his eyes remind me of reptilian. So what if it is true? What if them ultra rich with true background story how they climbed ladder of power and success are actual reptilians who make regular earth humans do crazy shit. What if? Because nothing else controls people on the planet but ultra rich. Ultra rich do not go to wars and usually do not deal directly with poor common man. They live in their own world behind the walls similar like in the movie “In time”. Putin does not go to war neither his children, or trump. They send poor/uneducated or impressionable people to spill the blood of others.
Fucking crybaby
I look at Reddit like I look at Facebook. Both are trash and have outlived their use. If you have a profile on either one, delete it or at least delete the app.
‘Pressured’? I hate these types of ‘highlighting’ in titles.
