i got booted from Reddit for saying “fuck Ukraine” in respose to some idiot praising a Van Gogh painting for “having the colors of the Ukraine flag”. It was my third strike on Reddit. After explaining to the moderator of that particular sub that I was just irritated at the idea of politics creeping into art apreciation (and the fact that the painting in question was painted 100 years before Ukraine was a country), they recinded my strike, but too late apparently- still banned. I get a cute little red hammer emoji next to my name when I try to log on, which I haven’t bothered trying to do for 8 or 9 months now.

to make that statement right now with current world affairs is pretty shortsighted.
Reddit was heavily taken over by Russian bots the past few years, so any impropriety in regards to the Ukraine war is taken as that person likely being a Russian bot or propagandist. Hence the ban, which was arguably not that unjustified.

The Steele Dossier debunked the whole Russian bot thing. Assange proved that that was some shit Killary pulled out of her twat because her plan to run against an orange gameshow clown backfired. If you still watch CNN, MSNBC or Fox to find out what’s going on in the world, then you are still just a brainwashed drone.

You got banned for being obnoxious. Which you know, and get off on. For the good of the fediverse I hope you grew up a bit in those 8/9mos. Trolling is boring for everyone but you.
Smeagol666@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Just being obnoxious isn’t a crime, but that’s not enough of a reason to get a ding. I’ve seen way worse comments to others and to myself from assholes on reddit who never got banned. “fOr ThE sAkE oF tHe FeDiVeRse, I dO dEcLaIr…” seriously with this shit? This place is already turning into Reddit. Apparently trolling isn’t boring for you yet, huh?

Reddit didn’t do shit. Lemmy and Kbin crushed it by existing as alternatives. People who were unhappy just went there and settled.

I went back to reddit recently. The content is still much better and the comments way more than here. (Also not as many Linux bros) Lemmy for mobile and reddit for PC seems to be a good balance for me.

using their linux device to whine about linux bros, classic

I’m a linux user, i feel like the users who would bother to sign up for lemmy, a niche network, are also the kind of people to use Linux

This video is from August. Doesn’t reddit still have millions of users? There’s still bots copying content from there onto the fediverse and the number of active users on the threadiverse is dropping. 40k or so? That’s a drop in the bucket.
It doesn’t feel to me like anything changed besides more lemmy users being there.
JustZ@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m here now.
zergtoshi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Me too and I won’t be going back.

Naa lemmy is growing, and I’m actually starting to see the opposite. Shit from here being copied to Reddit. Only have witnessed it a few times but it was odd seeing it be the reverse.

The monthly active users dropped significantly (probably expected) and december has seen a slight upwards trend. Hopefully that continues.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The data I saw yesterday shows a marked improvement for active users in the last couple weeks. We’re organically steadily growing again, I think.

Before consuming this video with a provocative title, does anyone have experience with this YouTube creator? Typically a decent source/conduit to good information?
