You still get banned here too. The mods can disagree politically and just ban you as they can on reddit.

Just got 7 day ban for wishing that Elon musk poof out of existance. Fuck Reddit, and fuck the tyrannical Reddit admins.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.

Reddit simply doesn't want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content. Much better for advertising revenue that way.

You can't even play Nintendo these days

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

We're Gooigi gang here. So watch yourself.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Someone should start Blueit. See cuz they blew it, get it?

Just awful, but I thought it was right there, you know?

If you're not a russian orc troll, you're not welcome on reddit these days.

Told another user to take Trump's advice and drink bleach. He's allowed to say it but apparently not me.

Whatever. Reddit has always been a barely redeemable corpo platform. I'm hoping Digg comes back ActivityPub compliant like Threads and puts the final nail in that shithole's corpse box.

I received a 7 day ban for threatening violence. My comment was, "He should have spray-painted a swastika in red" in response to video of a guy who spray-painted "USA" on a presidential placard in Trump Tower. I'm done with Reddit after 11 years.

So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 hours ago

Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase 'burn it all down' entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn't like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.

I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I'd like to roast marshmallows over that fire.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Less dumping ground and more release valve. The people Reddit is jettisoning are many of their more active and prodigious content creators and contributors. The site admins simply don't want new human content anymore. They want passive observers who will consume advertisement content without creating drama.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

What they'll end up with is bots watching Russian trolls.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

It's the next best thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

Yes it's how I got here, and hopefully Lemmy doesn't turn to shit the way reddit did because of its decentralized nature I hope

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Yep, that is why I am here

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly that's how I got here lol.

Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let's be real, Lemmy doesn't have as much content or user interaction.

It's allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

You get used to it. Been here happily for coming on two years. Honestly, less content means I can't scroll 24/7 which has turned into a positive for me.

Fewer niche communities definitely sucks though. Time to start one I guess? :P

Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let's encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?

You have a 300 day streak of using heroin, don't stop now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

But my streak is at 419, I can't stop now!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 hours ago

Daily usage streaks isn’t a “screwed up” notification.

Plenty of people read a newspaper everyday. Or check socials each day.

A more accurate measure for unhealthy, addictive usage would be hours per day, or week.
