got permed for suggesting that the time to protest is now, before protesting becomes illegal and prosucetable und law lol
Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.
The censorship on reddit is insane, I can’t even post this picture there !
Someone should start Blueit. See cuz they blew it, get it?
Reddit censorship is out of control. I got a warning about ‘violence’ today. My crime? I reported that the guy who is currently spamming every Australian mobile phone with messages about out the ridiculous Trumpet of patriots party is getting spammed back. I said “couldn’t happen to a nicer fascist”. Ffs.
I just came back from a 3 day ban. I was warned before. In the 10+ years I’ve been on reddit this has never happened to me. But whatever. Lemmy is a great alternative.
They’re banning all humans
So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?
Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase ‘burn it all down’ entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn’t like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.
I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I’d like to roast marshmallows over that fire.
Less dumping ground and more release valve. The people Reddit is jettisoning are many of their more active and prodigious content creators and contributors. The site admins simply don’t want new human content anymore. They want passive observers who will consume advertisement content without creating drama.
Honestly that’s how I got here lol.
Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let’s be real, Lemmy doesn’t have as much content or user interaction.
It’s allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities
Yes it’s how I got here, and hopefully Lemmy doesn’t turn to shit the way reddit did because of its decentralized nature I hope
It’s the next best thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yep, that is why I am here
I think it’s more like getting used to the freedoms of Lemmy increases the likelihood of popping up on the radar of some dubious Reddit admins.
Odd since it’s arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account
I hope I’m not the only one in here who nuked my Reddit account voluntarily after they started ramping up censorship.
Basically, I saw what was coming and bailed off that site while I was still ahead.
I recently deleted my active, 16-year-old, account after being told I was inciting violence simply by commenting that a particular GOP senator had himself to blame for an issue he was trying to pin on others.
Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let’s encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?
You have a 300 day streak of using heroin, don’t stop now!
people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform
Hey! (You’re absolutely right)
But my streak is at 419, I can’t stop now!
Wait until you hear about sportsbook apps
Daily usage streaks isn’t a “screwed up” notification.
Plenty of people read a newspaper everyday. Or check socials each day.
A more accurate measure for unhealthy, addictive usage would be hours per day, or week.
They keep sending me emails trying to get me to come back and I’m like “Unban my fucking account and I’ll think about it.”
My ban was for “Abusing the report system”
ie: Using it at all
Just got 7 day ban for wishing that Elon musk poof out of existance. Fuck Reddit, and fuck the tyrannical Reddit admins.
My account just got suspended for mocking JD Vance in a joke thread. I appealed and got a permaban in response.
I got banned for pointing out that ICE are a human trafficking terrorist gang
They ban facts now? Wow what a dump, I hope everyone that works there is time-teleported into an Auschwitz shower in 1944.
