You still get banned here too. The mods can disagree politically and just ban you as they can on reddit.
I received a 7 day ban for threatening violence. My comment was, "He should have spray-painted a swastika in red" in response to video of a guy who spray-painted "USA" on a presidential placard in Trump Tower. I'm done with Reddit after 11 years.
Just got 7 day ban for wishing that Elon musk poof out of existance. Fuck Reddit, and fuck the tyrannical Reddit admins.
Told another user to take Trump's advice and drink bleach. He's allowed to say it but apparently not me.
Whatever. Reddit has always been a barely redeemable corpo platform. I'm hoping Digg comes back ActivityPub compliant like Threads and puts the final nail in that shithole's corpse box.
Someone should start Blueit. See cuz they blew it, get it?
Top tier pun
Just awful, but I thought it was right there, you know?
Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.
Reddit simply doesn't want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content. Much better for advertising revenue that way.
You can't even play Nintendo these days
We're Gooigi gang here. So watch yourself.
If you're not a russian orc troll, you're not welcome on reddit these days.
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.
What they'll end up with is bots watching Russian trolls.
It's the next best thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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
Yep, that is why I am here
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
You get used to it. Been here happily for coming on two years. Honestly, less content means I can't scroll 24/7 which has turned into a positive for me.
Fewer niche communities definitely sucks though. Time to start one I guess? :P
