They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
Reddit died June 2023
I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse
I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
Same complaint. Reddit posts with 100s or 1000s of replies were mostly a few good comments drowning in spam.
Hard agree. I didn’t realize how awful this felt in practice and how much I genuinely missed conversations until Lemmy.
Every popular thread I got into the habit of ignoring the top comments because I’ve seen them 1000 before. Like being forced to watch the most unfunny 90’s sitcom.
I realize now that I would only comment on other comments— deep in comment chains.
Coming to Lemmy felt like the difference between trying to fish a pre-packaged snack out of a vending machine (Reddit) verses sitting down for a high quality all you can eat brunch (Lemmy).
It is worse, I was convinced I was having discussions with AI multiple times. It seemed to me that they were using some subs for AI to post content and then interact with human and AI. It is another laboratory to train their AI.
I used to help out in r/Botdefense
The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to us (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greedy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww
I’ve never considered that a limitation.
You only need one other person in addition to yourself, for a good discussion.
If anything, here I’m finding I actually get replies, because my comment didn’t drown among a hundred others.
That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
I got here because they killed Apollo 🫶🏻 never forget
I use Voyager now for lemmy
Same. Just created my account
I think we chose well.
Welcome, fellow ex redditor.
Thanks :)
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.
It’s why I came here…
I’m glad I got banned, Reddit is going downhill fast
I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell” - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.
To Hell, you say?
I got mine for hoping Elon’s penis pump would explode and burn him to death from the dick up.
You paint a beautiful picture 😂
Man he’s such a little fucking snowflake isn’t he?
Which one, (fuck) spez or the Nazi saluting trust fund baby?

My God they’ve pissed off Hitler
“Free speech absolutist” 🤣🤣🤣
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.
Fucking hell I didn’t know that! He just believes what suits him
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.

I received two platform bans in the last few months over the most asinine things. Hadn’t gotten a single one in nearly 15 years up until now.

Do you recognize how problematic it is that you think women can solve men’s own behavior?

I’m sorry? You’re asking us to fix men? Maybe we’re sick of it. How pathetic to even justify such a thing

So the plan for men is to beg those you’ve been oppressing for like… most of human history to be nicer to you?
The amount of coddling grown ass men seem to feel entitled to is wild. I got less coddling as a young girl.
‘Pressured’? I hate these types of ‘highlighting’ in titles.
Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.
That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing
I said justice would’ve seen Trump tried on January 7th and hung on January 8th. That got me a soft ban. Then I said kill all Nazis but six and save them for pallbearers. That got me a permaban. Tearing the bandaid off on 12 years of comments and posts hurt but so far I like the attitude of Lemmy a lot better. It feels like real conversation instead of just shitposting and trolling.
Fun Fact: you should be wiping all comments and posts on every socmed platform at LEAST once a month.
Which reminds me that I am overdue on THIS one.
