Joan Westerberg has been doing great work on the Fediverse. I pasted this link in the one sub I miss r/idiocracy:

My post was really good — I used Idiocracy speech to get my scros to join me in LEMMY and not only was the post rejected but I earned a temporary ban at Reddit.
At this point there isn’t even a point in going back to leave a breadcrumb trail to be followed.
They’re asking their users to leave. Its about time we oblige them.
I appreciate the fediverse, but I still have a couple of issues with it. There IS censorship in the fediverse, there is still cancelling of people. There are still restrictions on freedom of speech. A lot of the garbage that reddit had carried over here. A lot of the cult mentality carried over here, too. Some mods have the same power trip mods on reddit have. Good thing there are many other servers you can join, and you don’t get permanently banned for “ban evasion”. I’ve left every single other proprietary platform and joined an alternative on the fediverse, except YouTube. Working on that.
Sounds a news and politics subs on lemmy.world
Yeah, those ones are almost reddit level insanity. I actually got banned from a “tech” community for something extremely trivial. But oh well, the world will never be perfect.
Neo lib regime apologists modding for ya
Oh boy! Better be careful there. You’re going to be chased out of the room. lol
Cancelling of people? WTF is that even supposed to mean?
If you act like a piece of shit, that’s gonna have repercussions because people don’t like people who are shitty. That’s not cancel culture, that’s just the consequences of your actions.
As for censorship, if you don’t like how an instance is run, go start your own, with blackjack, and hookers!
You’re one of those people. Block time I guess.
I didn’t really see anything block-worthy in that comment.
BLOCKED!
NEXT!
jk
I found the perfect way to not get banned from Reddit: simply don’t go there.
the only way I end up there lately is through search results. even then half the time what im looking for got blanked out or deleted by someone leaving reddit.
Genuinely such mixed feelings about all the deleted old posts. I swear it’s well over half of the time I search up some kind of tech issue and all the relevant posts are gone. But the replies saying “thanks this fixed it so fast!” are always still there lmao.
Like I’m glad there’s less and less of a reason to go to Reddit. Fuck that site. But also… goddamn!
you could try checking archive.org or using undelete services (are those still a thing?)
Archive should probably work, but I always seem to forget about it lol.
I only access Reddit through libreddit instances and they usually have links to various undelete services in place of the deleted comment, but they never seem to work :(
I think they’re going the Twitter-> X route. Make it so unusable for the people who would give any pushback, that all that’s left are the people who are going to cause real harm and the others that are too addicted and/or stupid to leave.
Reddit brain drain has been happening for years, and it’s already embarrassing how much the quality of posts has dropped. Now it’s about to get so much worse.
Just started my Lemmy adventure. Unfortunately, even the morons are jumping ship now.
I was noticing an uptick in the quality of the posts in the last month. It’s to our benefit here.
What a shitty site. I don’t miss it.
Just delete your account and uninstall reddit. Best decision I made. I left 7 years and around 300,000 karma. Now I just use reddit via Google searching for instructions or IT tips.
Doesn’t deleting your account also delete all your posts and comments?
Yup, been on Reddit for 14 years and have never been banned. I had 2 bans just last week. I’m done with reddit. That site is a huge piece of shit now.
I also got an extremely soft ban on one account after just talking about Lemmy and piefed.
Lol.
I always just immediately created a new account as soon as I was banned, even if it was just temporary. Reddit accounts are meaningless now.
Then I got tired of doing that and came to Lemmy. Problem solved.
Welcome to the banned brotherhood.
