So, I’ve now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.
They’ve linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.
I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.
Base model app is shit.
Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.
Can’t even say ‘I like that player two energy on super Mario bros’, because that’s ‘violent’.
I’ve posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.
Got banned for saying ‘Elon simps in our midst’ referring to mods…who proved my point.
And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.
Adios.
Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.
Rant over lol.
You must log in or register to comment.
New here as well but I also gave you your 666th upvote. So there’s something.
Hell yea!
Been here since the initial API exodus. It’s been pretty good so far. I hope you like it as much as I do. Welcome!
Yup same somebody tell him about the 3 day no poop challenge
Something about beans or something
Is that croc made of denim? Or, what could be called a “Jroc”
I prefer joots“Kids these days gotta pull up themselves up by their jootstraps”
What a stupid post to get blocked forever over
What a terrible day to have eyes
Something something I pooped on a narwhal.
Leave the narwhals behind. Here, we’ve got beans made of denim, aka “Jeans” for short.
And don’t worry about commenting your opinion here, people here are generally willing to listen if you provide supporting information to your viewpoints
Also Trekkies everywhere.
Fuck reddit and fuck spez
welcome, we have linux and communism.
fully automated luxury gay space linux
fully automated with bash
Nice, I hate reddit and powershell.
Fuck Windows and especially fuck MacOS
Respectfully: Fuck both linux and communism.
You’re going to have the time of your life here.
I know, lemmy doesn’t broker any dissent either
Just as far as echo chambers go, I’d rather have the one where it’s okay to talk about punching nazis
They are mostly segregated into their own instances, that’s a good thing , and their trolling is less likely to bleed out
SACRIFICE HIM TO THE PENGUINS! URA! URA!
/s needed

Especially on .ml
Lemmy is so communist we all have the same girlfriend. Nicole DM’d me again a couple hours ago.
I feel so left out on this one. Never received a single messaged :(
Maybe she’s been banned from .world?
Nothing on my aussie.zone or .ml accounts either though
Respectfully: fuck you.
You don’t get to say that till there is a drop-in linux solution for the everyday user.
You’ve had decades, get your shit together
You can demand whatever you want. Doesn’t make it true.Let me rephrase that. Fuck your demands, respectfully, of course.

You brought the disrespect.
My mother’s dead. But I’ll let her know if I ever see her again.
Edit: I spoke too highly of Linux in this comment, I think. While it is true that I have used Linux daily for nearly a year, it has not been as simple as a drop in replacement for Windows. Given a choice, I absolutely prefer Windows, but I will not be using Windows 11, and I don’t want to use Windows 10 after it loses support in a few months.
Installed Mint like 8 months ago. I didn’t even notice that my windows install was doing the failed automatic repair thing until I tried to boot it up for F360 in December, and still haven’t bothered to fix it because Tinkercad was good enough. Try convincing me that Linux Mint is not a drop-in linux solution for the everyday user lmaoOk I tried Mint a few years ago and it was shit, if you talk like this I’m going to try it again
And when it fails, like it always does, 1) I am blocking you, and 2) I am coming back to shout ‘Fuck Linux’ twice as hard.
I mean if you go into it wanting it to fail, it’ll fail. There’s a learning curve, as there always is with a new user experience. It isn’t a carbon copy of windows, but for the average user, it’s a perfectly fine drop-in replacement.
Look son, I’ve been an IT professional for 3+ decades and I have stood up and admin’ed literally hundreds of linux servers and even I struggled every time I tried to transition my daily driver.
For servers? Nothing better than your favorite linux flavor provided you don’t have any unusual peripherals. I much prefer supporting linux over windows servers any day.
For desktops? Not a chance unless its part of a corporate supported package where I get direct dev access 24/7 b/c when it breaks, it breaks in fucktastically stupid ways especially in large user environments
Do you know the blistering scaburous hell of inheriting a userbase of 300+ workstations running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in the 2020’s? BECAUSE I DO!
I spent eight months trying to build an update path to modern Ubuntu or Mint that didn’t absolutely nukefuck all of their piles of in-house legacy code THAT LITERALLY HAS NO LIVING ORIGINAL DEVS and I fail it so bad I didn’t even charge them for my last 2 months of work
So, please understand I say this as someone with full eyes open and significant industry knowledge: Fuck linux (desktop)
Welcome! I’ve been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.
It definitely does.
I even have the old.reddit res clone on pc.
Where you came from:
Where you are now:
remember kids:
A place in heaven is reserved for those who speak truth to power
Speaking my language.
Point of order: The reason a place in heaven is reserved for such is usually they don’t survive long
Only Lemmy sucks itself off this hard all the time
These replies prove it: nobody performs autofellatio quite like someone who recently discovered that social media platforms other than Twitter/Facebook/Reddit exist. The users of this platform are largely identical to the users of reddit. The biggest difference is that I’m told to kill myself far more often here
Or maybe you should just go back to 卐itter?
Found the Reddit mod.
I just really don’t like the arrogant, self-congratulatory tone some users of this platform have. We’re just all so much better and smarter and cooler than those dumbass redditors, and all we had to do was sign up for a different social media platform
Some people that get banned correctly on reddit make it here on lemmy sadly, like you
What makes you think I’ve been banned from Reddit? The fact that I don’t like the superiority complex lemmings have about our relatively tiny social network?
ETA: Not all of us were correctly banned from Reddit for abusing the report system. I have a perfectly functional Reddit account, and I choose to spend my time here because it’s a better platform. I just don’t like to cum in my own mouth about it
Eeh, I remember a similar energy on reddit back when Digg had its meltdown.
Most groups suck themselves off about how awesome they are compared to alternate groups in the same genre. Hardstyle vs Progressive trance. BJJ vs Wrestling. Ford vs Holden cars. etc.\
I feel like the trance disagreement is closest to lemmy vs reddit because the disagreement is on principal largely and the end result is pretty similar for a typical, disinterested end user.
Welcome. Lemmy is like Reddit but the lemmings are more dogmatic and sensitive.
WHAT did you just say you little shit???!
/s
I think it’s more to do with community size. It’s much easier to have non-anonymous interactions on Lemmy than Reddit. You’ll probably see less of that vibe as Lemmy scales. Though, tbh, I always found Reddit to be way more dogmatic, sensitive, and above all, dramatic and performative than Lemmy.
Reddit’s like the Huffington Post of social media, which I guess makes Facebook Breitbart.
And YouTube all the MSMs combined
Lemmy has the same problem as Reddit. Powertripping mods and community voting pushing the lowest tier karma bait to the top.
.ml is the one to avoid.
YMMV. I can avoid the tankies and the Linux crowd are pretty chill overall, but avoid debating art at all costs.
I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don’t even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they’ve lost their way and I refuse to participate.
Wild so many are having the same shit happen…
Glad we are both here.
Whoever created this mlmym github repo that gives me old.reddit.com back is a fucking hero OMFG.
is that different from just using old.lemmy.world?
Same thing, also same as oldsh.itjust.works for anyone on that instance
Reddit needed you more than you needed Reddit. The moment you are slightly less efficient advertising money, they told you to hit the road. When people tell you who they really are, you should listen.
That’s a good point. Reddit needs humans, they’re forgetting that part. Maybe the shareholders are too stupid to figure that out yet?
Reddit needs humans
i guaran-fucking-tee you they are outright lying to their shareholders about how much of their traffic is bots.
Doesn’t matter if they cash out before others figure it out and are left holding the bag.
And you have now discovered the secret to why everything is shittier everyday in this barely regulated financial elite rodeo
The power mods will probably hold on and try to monetize their sub before they give it up
Welcome, there hasn’t been a better time than now in a while.
Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit’s CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.
So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.
Yep it’s already nosedived so much it’s way past the point of no return.
I lost about seven 12-year-old accounts all for telling off one piece of shit incel, quoting his slur so he couldn’t edit, and reporting him. Mods banned me from a major subreddit for “using a slur” and didn’t listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel and just quoted him so he couldn’t change his comment. Mods acted like pubescent morons and called me names for politely asking for a review of the incident, I changed account to keep talking to people I knew there, got perma-banned for ban-evasion, they sniffed out my other accounts then and banned those too, then I made new accounts but got permanently shadowbanned for criticizing conservatives and reddit mods, made new accounts, those accounts also are now shadowbanned for who-knows-why.
But whatever their excuses are, the reality is clear. They don’t want human users, this is why “shadowbans” are a thing, they want humans to feel like they’re interacting, but in reality they want a billion bots talking to each other and simulating narratives and conversations so they can twist a few dials and change public opinion on whatever they want.
They’re already doing it, it works. A large percentage of users there are already very convincing AI’s.
They aren’t hiding this, they announced that they would be letting AI’s “use” reddit to train and learn. They never specified to what end or how many.
They can link your accounts, via the same IP and device, and yourbm browser data
didn’t listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel
this sounds so lame dude
It’s wild, I used to go to bat for Reddit mods, I WAS one for a large community for several years, I have sympathy for the people who work hard to keep public spaces organized without pay, the team I was modding with were good, reasonable adults who had nice, progressive values and fair moderation policies, facing a tireless wave of hate and obscenities and scams.
I learned pretty fast that was HIGHLY unique situation, and the majority of mods on reddit are embodiments of ALL the stereotypes. Smug, condescending, power-tripping teenage assholes who just enjoy waving their impotent magic wands around thinking the power to ban users makes them an actual authority. I cannot stand them, they are the most miserable people in existence.
And again, I say this as a former dedicated moderator.
Many of them are in cahoots with reddit admins.
You harassed one person with 7 different personal accounts? ESH
I think what they meant was that they lost all seven of their accounts because one of them got in an argument with an incel. Reddit can very easily link you to your alternate accounts
Don’t be an idiot, it’s less entertaining than how it plays out in your head.
Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.
Welcome.
I’ve been here since November. Loving it.
Your comments actually get responses on this platform. Whereas 90% of your Reddit comments will never be seen, much less interacted with.
The downfall of Reddit is well underway.
For me it’s bit like living in a village vs. living in a city. You kind of get to know some users here because you see them around a bit, even if you don’t always interact with them.
You forgot fuck spez
Funny you say that, in another comment I tell how that was the first time I got in shit on reddit. And I said it a lot in that era.
I got tired of how mean the comments became…
Eternal September
Yea, definitely picked up some of that Twitter vibe.
That’s because reddit just repost mostly Twitter posts out of context too
