Inception bitch!
I ditched Reddit because the writing’s on the wall for them becoming a complete hellscape with their ramping up of censorship recently, and I jumped ship before that Titanic sinks.
If you're still on Lemmy...

You don’t like AI bots replying to other AI bots ad nauseum?
Juliee@lemm.ee 11 months ago
You left Reddit because you wanted to send a message
I left because I was banned
We are not the same
StJohnMcCrae@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
I got banned site wide for saying that democrats want to force everyone to get automatic transitions… In a car sub.
Hellsfire29@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I was also banned site wide from reddit.
For saying that mayor Tiffany Henyard or whatever her name is of Dalton IL should be imprisoned for corruption. It was reported as racism. Lmao whatever that site sucks anyway
VitoRobles@lemmy.today 11 months ago
You guys were banned for comments?
I was banned for constantly up voting luigi memes.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I keep on getting 3 day bans from these infantile mods with no reply and no reason behind it besides their pettiness and immaturity. Ahhhhhh! 😆

Uh… What opinion?
Juliee@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Special kind of opinion with extra sauce served right into star citizen subreddit. House specialty.
Sibshops@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Ooh, what opinion?
Juliee@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It was an opinion specifically selected from fresh produce and ingredients made with passion and dedication.
I have served it to Star Citizen players and they started to behave very unfriendly.

So what’s the alternative to Lemmy? IRC? It seems like every social media platform has problems.

The main devs are tankies. That’s all I’m aware of.

I mean even if they are, the software is open source and lemmy is made to work with ActivityPup, an open protocol. That is what matters at the end of the day.

Cynicalinsurrection@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There are many communities still on reddit for which there are no alternatives on lemmy as of yet and if you want it to surpass reddit you need to stop with the toxic attitude and the false sense of superiority especially since a lot of the content on this platform is just reposts from 4chan, x, reddit. If curious folk come here and all they see is toxic threads and reposts why would they stay here? This is mostly in response to the comments I’ve seen on here not the thread itself.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Where’s the aggression? You want to talk online respectfully, you can do that here apparently, but not there. I haven’t seen it yet… There is a paucity of communities though, NGL. I’ll practice patience.
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Lemmy’s biggest problem is how aggressive and uncompromisingblm the people can be.

Really? I’ve seen Lemmings are much more competent, way higher debate ability, far less disinformation. Also I’ve seen this 10x so far in a month: “sorry, you’re right”. Almost never saw that on Reddit.

Clairvoidance@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Keeping away from X is more of a health thing honestly,
I know at least for me, it leaves me worse off reading through posts on there even if I’ve tried to fight them
slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
That’s legit. If this post were a call for good self care and mental health, I wouldn’t have commented. I tire quite easily of individualistic solutions to social and institutional problems.
AbraKadabra1993@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Its true. I have friends still using it and they can’t seem to break free. I used Reddit since its inception, but left it immediately during the api-pocolypse and never looked back. I did the same with Proton when the CEO praised the GOP. I have no loyalties to tech companies.
Alaknar@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I will die on this hill - the Proton CEO was right when he praised GOP in the context of the time, and situation.
The situation was: GOP accidentally* going against Big Tech and pro-citizens, while Democrats were defending Big Tech (just to be in opposition-by-default to GOP). Specifically, the CEO’s tweet was about how Trump nominating a fairly loudly outspoken anti-Big Tech person to a very high position in the DOJ was a good thing.
The time was: just before Trump 2 took office and showed what a shit-show his admin, and GOP have become.
The guy was ONLY talking about Big Tech and anti-trust policies nothing else. He never said “GOP is good for the US” or “GOP is good for the world”, he said “GOP are doing a bunch of anti-trust and anti-Big Tech moves right now and it’s good”.
People dropping Proton for this reason are the epitome of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
* it was because Trump was throwing a hissy fit at Meta and Twitter for allowing people to express anti-Trump opinions.
Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
The problem with this, is if he was paying attention AT ALL, it’d be clear that the republican stance “against big tech” was always a lie. The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.
la_scriba@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
I’ve been trying to break free from Reddit ever since the api-pocalypse and subsequent ai-pocalypse. I mostly found my home on Tumblr for a while but it’s taken a long time to find replacements for some things.
bluegreenwookie@bookwormstory.social 11 months ago
That’s why i left too though I only did it recently bc the app i used only stopped working like a month or two ago.
toadjones79@lemm.ee 11 months ago

minorkeys@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They will follow us everywhere. If the medium is commercial, the capitalists will capture it. If its public, the extreme social interest groups will capture it. There is no place for the vast majority of average folk to just exist without being pushed, prodded, guilted, baited, enticed or forced to stop being ourselves.
piyuv@lemmy.world 11 months ago
“Extreme social interest” like universal healthcare / basic income, human rights, being anti genocide, pro-human rights, basic privacy rights… list goes on.
My good fellow, extremists are not here shitposting, they’re running the biggest economies of the world. “Public/open source = bad” is exactly what those people want the public to think, because it can’t be monetized and easily controlled.
RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Reddit has become practically unusable. Mods censor EVERYTHING even if it doesn’t “break the rules” it’s worthless trying to have honest discussions.
Alaknar@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Mods censor EVERYTHING
This is not a Reddit issue, this is a “subreddit I’m subscribed to” issue. I’m not seeing that problem.
The problem I AM seeing, though, that’s ACTUALLY making it unusable is how they fucked up the latest UI redesign. Ctrl+Enter no longer works, spellcheck is force-disabled when using the Markdown editor, posts no longer open in a panel, you have to open each one in a separate tab or reload the main feed every single time, everything is slow and clunky… It’s just badly written, badly optimised and badly designed overall.
MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
old.reddit.com is still the best client.
Waldelfe@feddit.org 11 months ago
Not even censoring, also outright stealing for karma farming. I’ve had perfectly normal photos being criticized as not within the rules for bullshit reasons. An alcoholic drink aggressively marketed in two “variations” for men in women in pointlessly gendered was taken down with the bullshit excuse, that men and women have different metabolisms so it wasn’t pointless. A week later there was a post about this drink with a lot of upvotes and my exact photo from our local supermarket. It was posted by one of the very active accounts. Mods are taking down promising content in some subs just to post them themselves.
supro47@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I once said on /r/nintendo in the context of Nintendo increasing the price of games that even if you enjoy their products, there’s no excuse to defend their anti consumer practices and that there was way too much “corporate boot licking” among Nintendo fans. It wasn’t a statement directed at anyone specifically, but I got a temporary ban for “derogatory name calling.”
Like…I fully understand it’s going to be a sub of Nintendo fans, and I also consider myself a fan of a lot of their games, but if you aren’t allowed to be critical…then banning me for that post kinda proved my point, lol.
SeattleStyleTeriyaki@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I got an instant permanent auto ban for joking about pushing someone down the stairs. It was ‘supporting violence’. I appealed and it was auto rejected. It’s become absurd.
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
i got a ban for reporting a sub too often where people sold CSAM
SparroHawc@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I dropped Reddit when it was announced that you could be banned for upvoting something.

la_scriba@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Can you catch me up on the lore here
IceyPea@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Their threshold for “calls to violence” is ridiculous. Got a ban for commenting I’d slap someone just like the person who got pranked slapped the person who jump scared them.
SpaceShort@feddit.uk 11 months ago
My ban was for saying there should be mass protests outside the building in which that American judge was held and that these protests should prevent anyone from entering or leaving until that judge is released. Apparently, that’s “violence”, even though it’s self-defence against the violence of a fascist state.
DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 11 months ago
My ban. A bloke purposely ran over a 12 year old boy that was riding his bike. Seems a group of youths had verbally hassled this bloke so this was his reaction. Thankfully it was caught on film. This happened about 50 miles from me here in Australia.
Well anyway my comment was that if he had run over one of my two boys he might have ended up in hospital, there might be broken bones and I might end up in prison. I mean it was an angry knee jerk reaction to a horrible situation.
Well I got a site wide ban for threatening violence. I didn’t actually threaten anybody. No warning, no temp ban, not just banned from that one sub. Appealed but it fell in deaf ears.
SpitefulSprite@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Dude im so tired of bans and creepy tracking that ensures you cant engage on the site… I do enjoy the reddit user friendly platform but im so sick of the overreach from the mods… i have had an account up for a while that just got permanently banned because I accidentally engaged with a sub i forgot had banned my og account… and because of that old account that had an IP ban it was somehow tied to my new account made a whole year later! Even though i use duckduckgo with full protection and cleared all my data… but Im done… its not worth the headache…and trying to use lemmy world now feels better. Still getting used to it here
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
DuckDuckGo doesn’t hide your IP. Your IP is a fundamental networking number used to route traffic to your computer. It can also change for many home internet service providers over time, so it’s a bit stupid of Reddit to use them, though they might be using more advanced fingerprinting mechanisms and merely saying IP.

I have reddit turned shit in the recent years. And they even banned for saying my country needs gender neutral laws. so yeah I guess overall it’s bad
Danjinspear@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bluesky is far far too left.
RedFrank24@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don’t really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going “Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!” and anime fans going “Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!” on Bluesky.
Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 10% memes about politics, and 10% Linux.
