      I saw once a post that called for killing Musk. If you mean that kind of anti-nazi post then a ban is justified.

            If somebody tosses up nazi salutes, they shouldn’t be surprised when people want to put them six feet under with the other nazis.

      lol, your bad for subbing, honestly. I’m leaving too, but I was still subscribed to a community about a site I hate. Not sure why we did that, ngl.

          Maybe it was back in the day when we were angry with Reddit and wanted to get away but still keep an eye on the development.

          At this point I’m over it. I don’t care or think about Reddit, ever. 🙂✨

    I stopped using it entirely but the top 3 reasons for doing so are:

    1. The admin staff had been increasingly showing signs of Nazi sympathizing if not outright bigoted bullshit of their own.

    2. They killed 3rd party apps, which was the only way to really use the site on a phone in my opinion as the official app sucks and the mobile layout also sucks.

    3. A bit of Eternal September. The more mainstream it became, the more watered down and samey everything became. Niche communities were active, but often filled with the same 3 fucking things posted ad infinitum. In addition to the bigger a sub grew, the more restrictive it became in what was allowed to the point that only a few special users (often the mods) were the only ones posting that were ever approved to post by their automod deletion system.

    The platform is apparently run by people who are pro-nazis so that’s fun. They pulled the trigger on Banning me for an incredibly flimsy reason.

      I just got banned by saying ‘Ivermectin’ (literally, that was the whole comment) in a thread on /r/askhistory about weird drug usage by Hitler.

      The reason: Harrasment (3 day ban).

    Power tripping staff, thats it. Its getting closer and closer to fascism. Karma farming and echo-chambering.

    But fr, I left 2 yrs ago, still will use it if a search brings me there, but dont really log-on, and haven’t scrolled it 2 yrs.
    Kinda weird how popular it is now too.

    Reddit is pretty much read-only for me now. Looks like many of you are the same because I don’t save or share to my browser very many anymore. Peeps ain’t writing stuff (of interest to me) on Reddit anymore.

      That’s an excellent point. You can’t have a friendly chat or interesting exchange of views there no more. There’s just too many bots, too much nastiness

        I’ve been getting lots of warnings that I’m not writing book-length replies and so I can’t submit a response for seven minutes, or something.

        It’s just not worth it, usually, so I don’t.

    I’m fully onboard with all the critique listed here, but I’m afraid I do still use R on a daily basis. Why? Because of sheer (and original / non-bot) traffic, I guess.

    This tends to mean that highly-useful, knowledgeable, expert-level commentary is still produced there in significant quantities, even if it does mean sifting hard through the dreck to find it. And that stuff can be hugely useful to me.

    That said, I feel like Lemmy has a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio, so it doesn’t have to be remotely as big as R in order to achieve the same level of usefulness, and indeed, L is certainly useful right here and right now.

    But I guess the other thing is that most of the smaller and niche communities here could really use a membership boost. Maybe with the next reddit screw-up, that will happen, hehe.
