    I got permabanned for reporting anti-theisitc and transphobic trolls for being insulting edgelords. Weirdly enough they still let you delete your account even when it’s been banned.

    I wish Lemmy was as active as Reddit, I miss my niche subreddits. Where am I going to go to talk about philosophy and Sonic? And seriously, where’s the damn porn?

      For 18+ content here just try typing in search bar NSFW.

        I just did that and 5 of the top 6 results were about reddit.

      They don’t delete your account automatically, because then they can legally keep using all of your data. Once you delete, they have a legal obligation to delete almost all of that data, as per GDPR. Not sure about outside EU, but honestly it may very well be the same or similar. Sometimes it’s cheaper to implement GDPR worldwide, instead of on a per region basis.

      I deleted my account a few months ago. I don’t miss any of the big subs, because that sort of content is on here too. But there are some niche topics that simply don’t have enough traffic here to support good discussion.

    Content not viewable in your region.

    Could you provide an alternate link? Or maybe use the image button to upload it to your instance so it’s out of the control of some corporation?

    (Imgur deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription, and they geoblock my country because the data protection commission threatened them with a fine for selling children’s browsing history and they’d rather take it out on users than simply filter the accounts they auto-tagged as children out of the data they were selling. We left reddit for a reason. Imgur is no less moneygrabbing.)

        The first big meme competition I ever got excited about was back over on ytmnd[dot]com, whose name origin was of course Sean Connery in Finding Forrester inexplicably shouting, “youtube.com/…/UgkxYYH7dLJkROLWXycRUY-khtMVJvkjtNt…”

        Damn, now I’m getting a vague memory of an edgier website in this vein, but I’m stumbling on the name. Steak and Kidney Pie or something?

        Only real memory is that there was some really dark humour shit on it.

    If you are here and you haven’t been perma banned from reddit. I question your integrity and values.

    Have barely touched it since the API controversy. I can only see it declining as time goes on.

    source
    • Tollana1234567@lemmy.today ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      it was pretty much 50% bots around the time API disaster occured. after the great purges this year, it just accelerated the bots having to shore up the actual user numbers.

    I’m relevant.

    Jerboa is better, but still a lot of echo chambers.

    source
    • iatenine@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Guessing you meant Lemmy instead of Jerboa

      I’ve recently hopped to Piefed since they have a keyword filter helps reduce the self-congratulatory noise of a lot of it but it’s still the same people/fediverse and some of it is just everywhere on the internet

      The mobile app selection also isn’t as good

      source

        Nah we Jerboa users have a secret webring and mailing list, because we are elite.

  • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I just never logged there again since … hum … about a week before the Grand Reddit Exodus whenever that was.

    I think I’ve tried once since and it didn’t allow me, but I’m not sure I remember the date right, and I’m not in the mood to try again.

    The only value of Reddit for now is as a huge archive of data useful in one or another way. And since to browse most of it you don’t even need an account, there is no need to bother yourself with creating one.

    I’m not deleting mine, but I haven’t used it since they killed RiF.

    I might need a very high karma, very old Reddit account at some point in the future… For reasons…

    source
    • Tollana1234567@lemmy.today ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      if your account remains to inactive too long, it will treat it like a new account so it will prone to botting/spamming filters, because alot of propaganda bots used stolen inactive accounts.

    I remember deleting my account around when they introduced their recap things. I don’t want to know where I posted/commented/viewed a lot. And I DEFINITELY don’t want the app tracking all that.

    I just abandoned it years ago. ‘deleting’ the account won’t do much of anything than not displaying the account to user side anymore or move it to a internal only database. At least that’s what I would do if I could and companies regularly do much worse.

    • Tollana1234567@lemmy.today ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      they keep track of deleted accounts in case people try to ban evade, plus they dont actually the remove the posts/comments you made over the history of your account.
