    That sent me here as well. What a great way for them to advertise for a decentralized information exchange!

      I got banned from Reddit for stating that fascists need to be hung while Reddit endorses fascist subreddits such as /r/conservative that spews hate.

      Make it make sense.

        Well, Reddit endorses fascists, so I think it makes perfect sense already, really.

      I recently got banned for three days but I’m going to get rid of my Reddit. It’s only going to get much worse unfortunately.

    Just signed up here. I had my account flagged for upvoting on Reddit. Needless to say I was POed but so far I’m liking it here

    Honestly think this is newsworthy and worth talking about here as well, if not moreso…

    https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1j5cqq1/multiple_subreddits_express_concern_after_reddit/

    Just the fact that someone gets noticed and potentially talked to if they just upvote, and not say anything, seems like something that’s never been done before, and is a bit shocking to see.

      Meh, I’m not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an “app” and probably don’t even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren’t going anywhere. And frankly, that’s fine by me.

        Both me and my partner joined today. Problem is a lot of people don’t know about Lemmy, I’d never heard of it before today but someone commented about it on reddit in response to reddit’s latest nonsense.

        I’ll likely stick around reddit for a bit and do my part to comment about making the switch. I can’t blame people for not joining something they know nothing about.

        Yeah, we all know nothing in 2025 will ever be as consequential as what happened in 2023.

        Not even with the other news of them warning people for upvoting content?

        It’s what got me over here finally.

          I’m sorry, never heard about shorthand systems.
          What’s that?
          And why can’t we have a comparable community here? (Like the one you linked and it’s about screen didn’t really give me any info on what it’s about ;⁠-⁠))

            Shorthand is a method of writing faster and/or more compactly. Speeds over 200 words per minute are attested, or fitting an entire printed page on a sticky note.

            It’s an extremely niche interest, so the main thing preventing a comparable community here is enough active users who are interested. I’ve wanted to do a series of posts teaching one of the systems, but I’ve not hand the chance.

              I’ve actually been interested in shorthand for years. If you want to migrate over some of the better old content from reddit, I’ll sub and see what happens

        I started the switch over after how grossed out I was with Reddit advertising betting on the elections, and the overwhelming number of bots and bad actors trying to influence people constantly in most of the subreddits. Since then, I’ve been promoting Lemmy, BlueSky, and the Fediverse as a whole on Reddit.

        I believe we are on the cusp of another great migration. The more enshitified things continue to get on Reddit, the more real people will leave for spaces like here. At some point it could just be mostly bots talking to other bots on Reddit.

        A small number of reddit users leaving translates to a large number of new users here, comparatively speaking.

      I’m glad I found this, Canadian owned!

      reddit is this: and I don’t think enough Canadians know.

      this is 2014. 50million raised. led by Sam Altman

      https://blog.samaltman.com/trump 2016.

      “Trump is right about some big things.” “Trump is right about the problem” “I take some risk by writing this” “this is not an ordinary election”

      in a way reddit helped facilitate and validate Donald Trump as a mainstream candidate helping him gain popularity and credibility with /r/the_donald

      Marc Andressan - “Marc Andreessen says half of his time goes to helping Trump at Mar-a-Lago” 2024

      Snoop Dogg - “I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.” 2024

      Donald Trump Was Peter Thiel’s Most Successful Investment. “Thiel is one of the conservative mega donors that has the ability to shore up candidates that might need additional support. His spending is targeted, and his ability to spend millions can be impactful,” Reddit was targeted, to be impactful.

      Ron Conway - says “Crypto Economy” Is the Next Multitrillion Dollar Opportunity - 2021

      yesterday, - “President Donald J. Trump Establishes the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile”

      Jared Leto - “We want to see your America in all its imperfect glory.”

      now reddit is valued at $6 billion, off the data & memes of unsuspecting Canadians supporting their own threat to their sovereignty.

      I just joined Lemmy after lurking on the Fediverse subreddit for the past few weeks. I’m always open to joining new platforms, and I’m a quick learner. I don’t think my wife is willing to leave Reddit for Lemmy though… But I do suspect we’ll see some more people joining after this and possibly after they start locking content behind a paywall too.

      That’s a great point. Even if it’s used as a verb, it could mean throwing a banana peel behind you while driving.

      Nintendo doesn’t want to raise the specter of association with Luigi Mangione. Heck, I bet they’d advocate for this, and would rename Mario’s brother if they could.

        You are drastically underestimating how much Nintendo loves to sue.

        Also, Nintendo’s late CEO Satoru Iwata famously took a massive (50%) pay cut during a tough time for Nintendo, instead of laying off employees. So…

    And with that- I have deleted my Reddit account that I have had for 13 years lol. Fuuuuck that. I don’t even care if that gets reversed after Nintendo gets involved. This is ridiculous behavior.
