Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.
Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

Good. That will only sped up Reddit pulling a bluesky on their asses.
All they need to do is find a distributed alternative that won’t bend the knee to any one entity.How do people not expect this of Reddit by now
Reddit has been Facebook since like 2019-2020. Any social media service that gets too big just becomes a complete shit hole, hence my joining the fediverse.
Do you think the up and coming bluesky might end up like that
Fuck…ppl still use that dumb pigs trash site? Huffman can do one. 🖕
I finally made the jump to here today. I have no idea what federated means but I had have it with Reddit. It’s all bots and reposts.
Welcome!
There is a bunch of different servers and anyone can start their own server if they want to.
Server admins can decide with which servers they exchange information or which they block.
So if one server goes down or the admins there go rogue powertripping, the rest can remain unaffected.
For the most part your user experience is pretty much the same like on reddit, with a better culture here. But if something really rubs you the wrong way, you can switch your home server, or make your own instead of only being able to leave.
I see, that makes sense. So If blue sky is not that way, does that mean it will essentially reach a point of saturation and monetization like everything else? In other words, enshittify? Thank you for your reply by the way.
Welcome new lemming! Glad you made the jump over!
Glad you’re here, hope you stick around and help make it better and better.
Thank you, I have shared it with my friends already who are looking for alternatives. I am a pretty typical low information Reddit user so it should be encouraging to see someone like me show up.
I’m gonna have to check on fuckcara and cyberstuck
Keep sitting on your hands and it will all just go away /s
Spez desperately wants a place on the big bois table
ikr I don’t think spez “bent the knee” so much as he was probably pestering Elon night and day asking how he could help.
“Why did he put those other 22 yr old boys in govt and not meeeeee??”
The warrant canary died almost a decade ago. it hasn’t been a safe place for a very long time.
Fuck spez

Huffman isn’t bending the knee. He’s been deep throating Musk for quite a while. Even before the whole API thing, it was known the he saw Musk as a great role model.
Yeah, Reddit hasn’t been safe in a long time. If people are only just now realizing that, it’s because they’ve been extremely sheltered from… Well… Gestures vaguely at everything
You are correct. I didn’t realize how shit it was until I focused on being more security minded. I ditched almost all centralized social media. I’m working to get rid of Facebook and hopefully google next. That’s going to be hard .
Huffman? The guy involved in lossless compression?
Well I’m here
Welcome back! Lemmy’s a decent amount better than it was a year and a half ago :)
Well, we’re a lot angrier because of
The world
Every scandal is a cut where some people bleed over.
This one came out of the blue. the API blackout had notice and time to organize. People were talking about reddit alternatives and protesting for weeks before the API blackout happened
I’m back, and my mass got significantly bigger than when I got here before.
He was also a competitive ballroom dancer in college. I wish I could find some pictures or videos… Seriously, come on internet, help me out.
What’s wrong with competitive ballroom dancing?
Absolutely nothing.
This is the 1958 Hong Kong Cha Cha champion.
You might know him by the name Bruce Lee.
His teeth are so weird
He looks like he has cyborg eyes.
The picture is altered
It just emphasizes what’s already there.
True. The original does not have the text.
Thanks for the chuckle!
Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised
Lol.
Lmao even.
Reddit has never been a safe place for free speech.
yes it has, but it was like 15 years ago and absolutely wild
Try 18 years ago, when Aaron Swartz left.
where does the time go
The time didn’t go anywhere, we did.
Into the corners of your eyes and your lower back
It was until they had to delete the canary.
That was over a decade ago though.
What’s that?
