Been a long time user and my 13 year old account banned because i said something bad about Putin. Deleted all reddit apps, my account's posts and whatnot, and now I'm here. Already digging this site.
No, this is Lemmy. Digg is already dead.
Digg's death is what led me to Reddit. Reddit's death led me here. I wonder where I'll be when Lemmy eventually dies or if I'll just die before it does. 🤔
I would want some federated more traditional forums instead of a reddit approach, that would have so many advantages, like threads not dying this often and just being easier to navigate
There is the LemmyBB frontend.
Both Discourse and NodeBB are working on fediverse integration, Discourse's is already live but they are still adding features to it
I can't envision a federated service dying. Even if it's me pedaling a bike to run a raspberry pi hosting an instance that's just me posting it'll exist.
The only way Lemmy could "die" would be if it is surpassed by a similar project (like Sublinks, Piefed, Mbin). If that project is also part of the fediverse, that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
Edit: I suppose another way Lemmy could die would be if one of the larger instances somehow makes a closed-source fork of the software and improves it to the point where the majority of users flock to it. My hope is that Lemmy is already decentralized enough that this couldn't happen, and that Lemmy users would be savvy enough to oppose this if it did.
If the fediverse is so cool how come there's no fediverse 2 huh???
Same, both Digg leading to Reddit, and Reddit to Lemmy
Lemmy instances are designed to be born and die. So it's a good thing in my opinion.
I got banned because a mod found one of my comments distasteful and I accidentally commented on one of my alts. It’s ludicrous what those mods get away with.
I told a bot message to go fuck itself and a human mod took offense.
Welcome! Honestly Lemmy is so chill and you don't feel sucked into it the way you do on Reddit.
apparently you can still edit your comments with a banned account. some day when i'm really bored i'll go through and start editing all my comments on my 10+ yr old permabanned accts to be 10,000 characters of n̸̢̡̡̟̣̝̖͉̺̟̫̜̱̬̗̜̗̋̇ớ̷̢̧̡̦͍̝̖̣̪͉͕͕̙̖̭͔̯̪͚̯̳͇̻̬̺̲͓̞̫̦̝̮͉̞̣͖̻̮͔͍̤̺͕̦̓͑͗̀̂͋̍̆͛̂̏̽͐͘̕͠͠͝n̸̨̞͖̫̭̱̯̬̩̲͎̫̟͇͚̪̜̤̟͓͕̜̟̖̻̗͙̭̣̼͂͌͆̿̏̐͑́͘͝s̴̢̢̧̧̰̼̳̼̳̞̠̯̙̗̏̽̓̿̏̈́̀͑͂̀͊̏̆̎͑̚͜ȩ̴̛̪̻͍͙̰̥͖̱̘͚̦̻̎̏͑̊͂̈́̿̇̃̌̍́̽̌̒̊̃́͌̀̿̉̔́̑̕̕͘̚͠͝n̸̛̦͌͌̔͆͛͐̄̃͊̓̾͂͂s̷̛̼͙̞̬͙̠͉̖͙͎͇͓̫͓̺̯͈̣͍̮͑̃̐̑̌̃̔̇̚̚͝͝͠e̴̢̛͎̣̱͚͈̝̮̥͇̭͈̐̎̄̔̾͆̉̓́̂́̋̉̋̀̔̄̂̍͋̒̄̈́͐͂͐͘͘͜͝͠
