Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
Reddit is cooked
LOL no they are not. 97% of the users don’t give a fuck about any of this and will never leave. Reddit can ride it out just fine. For example, look at the cesspool FB turned into.
half of it is bots, and the half is addicted to politics and news subs(includes any subreddit that talks about the above), and then theres the entertainment subs: like sports, movies,etc.
Lets hope. Found Lemmy only just today and super glad I have.
Welcome!
You even found your way off the biggest instance! I’m impressed. Most new users just go to World, but it’s not the best for the network. Indeed, my first account was there.
I like my instance so far, can recomend
Welcome!
Welcome. I tried Lemmy a few years back but it wasn’t nearly as polished and way fewer people. Like BlueSky… But in 2025 I guess I’m here to stay.
People saw this coming from miles away since the rumors came out of reddit going for an IPO.
Question is why people keep getting outraged?
people are getting banned sitewide left and right for very little reason, or even if its a semi-legit reason they went after all my accounts(one temp ban was enough to trigger a sitewide ban on all my other accts that are completely seperate from each other), and i wasnt a serial ban evader like the people who have hundreds of accounts. im guessing thats why they are comming here.
After 50+ accounts suspended, I’m fucking done. It’s just shit.
I mean with that language of course you got banned. How dare you critique Reddit’s moderation policy? It’s explicitly against their rules.
Did you forget to close your sarcasm HTML tag? Can’t tell if Poe’s law applies here.
What’s worse in its way is that reddit policies basically state that once a subreddit has been banned they are free to ban any new attempts at the subreddit that might pop up.
Sounds like a great sub to have over here.
That’s fine, my bans are permanent too…
Slashdot,Fark,Digg,Reddit, Lemmy…What did Slashdot do?
I’m not entirely certain to be honest. It was 25 years ago now. Whatever it was, I never went back lol
Edit: looking back since it made me curious, likely something to do with them going public back then.
Edit 2: I’m certain that’s what it was, because I remembered Fark was just Drew. That was very appealing during the dot com implosion. So, I moved from the new evil corp to the open source equivalent lol
I get that.
Was curious as I still read slashdot and find they’re one of the last sites left with comments.
oh yeah, i was still actually reading them too. until recently when they stopped working with ad blocking. when i’m done with a site, i might still visit. but, i remove my accounts and no longer interact. they still have some good conversation and links on occasion.
My adblocker (uBlock Origin) still blocks their ads.
But I get that as a reason for leaving.
Dude! How the FUCK aren’t you triggered by 19 unanswered messages? I would have flipped my shit after 2!
Its message requests that I just ignore
We have moderators here too. Significantly more adequate, I would even say nice, but still. And they delete messages from time to time and even ban people. So keep being vigilant.
I attempted to post an original comic on Lemmy to what is basically the only comic strip sub. It was probably the only comic that had been posted that week that wasn’t on reddit first. It got removed for profanity. The profanity in question? “Balls”.
I posted it to reddit after that, and it hit the front page of r/all. Not to toot my own horn, but that’s some good fucking original content that the comic strip sub on Lemmy could have used.
The difference is here you can check the mod log to see what actions have been taken and what reason was given for it, and power tripping admins can’t reach beyond their instance.
Yep, users and communities can shift away to a new instance if they want. While the fact that there might be 3+ communities on different instances all covering the same topic is a weak point, it’s also a strength in this regard, so it kind of evens out. And if you really want to, you can make your own instance.
Yes but those moderators are more or less as sensitive and very few of them get power tripping.
Nope. Just because you change the app doesn’t mean all that shitty and toxic human behaviour goes away.
There are tons of power tripping mods and admins on Lemmy.
True, but at least Lemmy let’s you view what the removed message was.
And they have to document the reason for bans that’s how certain Lemmy.world mods got caught acting in bad faith.
Also, they can’t ban you fed inverse wide.
So people who get banned on main Lemmy.world sub’s just continue discussions on other sub’s without being harassed by neo lib clown mods.
I just got my 3 day ban under bullshit reasons. Reddit is now a place of tyranny and fascism.
I just got a “strong warning” for saying that Trump should’ve been punished for his crimes and for hoping that Elon happens to fall unto a Ukrainian guy’s fist…
Apparently they don’t condone that, but anything related to MAGA and “libtards” is perfectly fine
I realized that as long as you are for state sponsored violence it is totally okay on Reddit. You can say I hope Russia stomps Ukraine’s out of existence but you cannot support violence by a non state actor.
Exactly. State-sponsored murder is thumbs up, but hoping someone slaps a megalomaniac, fascist, wanna-take-over-the-world, drug-addicted maniac is way over the line.
Reddit is compromised.
I’m done as well. Fuck them.
Reddit is compromised.
Elders of Lemmy:
Reddit has been compromised for a while now. 2016 opened them up. The API fiasco blew the door down. r/place exposed it and exploited Reddit for what it is. And we’re now seeing the new course of direction continue.
How did r/place expose anything?
Doesnt that kinda go against the whole point of r/place? Kinda fuckin stupid
Man the censorship is just vile too. It’s not like “Oh this incites violence” it’s “anything and everything that we and our shareholders don’t agree on is gone”.
Worst part is if any other countries went after them then they would just restrict it to US news.
Hey they got me long ago but permanently banned IP address maybe? Tried new numbers, new emails, and glad after the last few days
Lol same. I’m finally starting to realize it wasn’t a me thing. I’ve really disliked the general flow of reddit for a while but it’s just such an easy thing to open up and scroll through. Didn’t know alternatives like this existed
they also looked for same device, browser fingerprinting, behaviour pattern, reddits banning filters is the most aggressive of any social media, and site.
Classic capitalist gotcha. Turns out that prioritizing shareholders (a 3rd party leech entity unrelated to the operations or customers) is always going to lead to censorship. Like the generic “shareholder” needs stable status quo to figure out how to exploit the poors in most efficient way and violent revolt doesn’t guarantee a higher than inflation result. Modern capitalism in America is straight up a mental disorder similar to hoarding. You don’t need the money nor the stock but you’re willing to fuck over literally thousands of people for a minor gain. It should be studied … but studying this doesn’t help the bottom line so fuck any progress it’s death and destruction for %% daily return. Fuck all this
They are Streisand effecting the information though because the more they censor, the more people will talk about it. There’s already been a news article published by The Verge. It’s going to backfire so badly lmao.
Seeing that non-right sided medias are picking this up is good. Hopefully it builds more traction and if they can even say something as simple as “Lemmy is an alternative” we can see healthy growth. I know r/conservative is probably loving it but in the last month I’ve seen them advocate for more violence than any other subreddits. Yet they remain free and open. Gotta love how contradicting reddit has become since the blackout.
not contradicting at all if you consider them as part of the putin/musk propaganda apparatus
putins trolls control the sub, and the mods. not an accident why they are constantly on the front page all the time. and then theres the subs that “pretend to be both sides”
If only lemmy posts showed up on search engines, reddit would be finished.
Appeal to duck duck go?
There’s also slamming Reddit with more Lemmy talk. Maybe seed the standard Lemmy apps as Reddit apps and see what shakes out.
Make advertisers into bad words “hellofresh the rich” " squarespace the ceos"
Mark Zuckerberg needs to be facebooked
Reminds me of how RTGame censors the word ‘fuck’ with the word ‘Youtube’ on videos posted to Youtube
I think you mean “Nintendo the CEOs”
This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant
I fucking love this and I’m stealing it
Take my “emerald mine gold”
I got permanently banned off Reddit during the whole Luigi thing, I didn’t say anything bad I just supported what he did, next thing I know I’m banned
Reddit has bent the knee, got banned for calling Elon Musk Adolph Tittler and telling one of him simps to fellate him after telling me he was going to kill us Canadians and we would be their 51st state.
Honestly we shouldn’t be supporting these assholes anyway so welcome to Lemmy everyone!
Every subreddit that is banned needs to be recreated on Lemmy out of principle. Unless it’s gonna get our guy sued.
I for sure don’t want another /The_Donald.
I mean they can make it… don’t think anyone would federate with them, though.
Cries in all my favorite niche subs being ghost towns here… but it’s ok, general subs got it going on alright :-)
Truly mind boggling to see how very little a site that once called itself “The Frontpage of the Internet”, seems to understand the internet
I’m kind of surprised r/50501 hasn’t been banned yet for inciting violence…
Don’t worry, they’ll be on the chopping block. But the good thing is the group is everywhere. They are on Substack, as well as here on this app. But they are a very small group, and they are aware that they’ll be next so they posted on Reddit to everyone that they exist on Lemmy which is how I got introduced to this app.
Why would they? Ineffectual protests with disparate, unclear goals. More useful to keep them so there’s at least a harmless resistance to redirect energy toward.
What do you mean? Their goals are clear.
I couldn’t find that immediately on their site but Wikipedia told me it’s:
- Impeachment of Donald Trump and removal from office[1]
- Investigation into Elon Musk, DOGEand Trump appointees[1]
- Reinstatement of rescinded federal DEI initiatives[1]
- Protection of LGBTQ rights in the United States
- Protection of minorities and minority rights
- Reinstatement of Military aid to Ukraine[2]
- Lifting of tariffs against Canada and Mexico[2]
Which imo is an unrealistic bucket of goals, not a unified call to action
It sounds like they are against the current administration. These are all of the things that were negative impacted by them.
Ok but this is the problem I think occupy wall street had. They were protesting the right people, getting attention, but consistently the messaging was vaguely gestures the system, Wall Street, bankers. We can speculate why that messaging wasn’t clear or didn’t get out, but we have an opportunity right now to correct that mistake.
So what do you suggest the correct message should be for 50501?
They may be unrealistic but that says more about this administration than it does about the protests. That’s pretty basic shit imo
Agreed. And I want groups like this to succeed. But we need a single, easily digestible message that can encompass all of these issues under one roof. That issue, imo, is wealth inequality. But now it all comes down to phrasing. It’s an issue that isn’t hard to get people on board with if, and only if, we are careful with messaging and branding. I wish I was joking, but that’s the world we live in. Not the one where I demand everything, get nothing, and keep being frustrated that it never changes. It’s time to adapt or continue the cycle of losing.
