They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
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.
Welcome friend!!
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.
Welcome, fellow ex redditor.
Thanks :)
Yep, Reddit pushed me this way too, but I’m much happier. Welcome!
Welcome here!
I got here because they killed Apollo 🫶🏻 never forget
I use Voyager now for lemmy
Welcome to the party!
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.
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.
same!
Same. Just created my account
Welcome fellow former redditor!
I think we chose well.
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over censorship?
Me too.
Musk what a knob
I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.
But now, since early December I’m done-done.
My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I’m all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.
Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.
Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.
Their other plan is removing their established messages system and sunsetting it completely over the next 3 months. Instead every message including modmail will be done with their horrendous instant chat system - those stupid DMs they have there.
Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you [email protected] for creating an alternative. :)
As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting, less frequent but still. Thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.
I can’t stand the modern design on both sites.
I find it hard to leave reddit all together just because of the historical knowledge and the actual presence of niche communities. I wish people wouldnt flip out about choosing a server when signing up for lemmy. They act like you have to have a computer science degree to make the switch.
I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.
But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)…with how they treated us and will continue to?
My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I’m far happier here now.
I felt how you felt when I was moderating a forum, so I can relate. In the end we do things for love but if others profit from our work it’s less fun.
It’s why I came here…
I just got a temporary ban for cussing out Elon in one of the antifacist subreddits, felt good. I’m wearing this ban as a badge of honor.
i read president musk again 😬
I’m amazed any of you get told why you were banned
Reddit is dead to me and I was with it since near the beginning.
They’re still pressuring and mass banning
Thank fuck I deleted my account when they “accidentally” banned a bunch of subreddits that were related to trans or LGBTQ folk. I found that disgusting.
This is why I left Reddit.
Kinda pisses me off that this joke of a clown has this much a authority.
Don’t let it piss you off. Just don’t participate. Leave Reddit. Leave FB. Delete, delete, delete.
It still impacts a lot of people because we here are in the minority and we can’t save them all. So it’s absolutely valid to have this piss you off.
Now we just need to make more Lemmy posts that aren’t about them.
Would you settle for a meme about a character from Star Trek installing Linux on something?
I kid. We’re growing. But I agree, we could spend less energy on then.
I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.
Add “brown nosing spinless wimp” to the list of acceptable descriptors of Spez
Fuck u/spez
