πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ +1 on having received a warning. I’m a simple man. I see Luigi, I upvote.

Day 1 on lemmy so am finding my way around still :)

I've been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I'm still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else's dick thank you very much.

"Shithole website continues circling toilet."

I first saw this news over on Reddit, immediately searched for an alternative. Got home from work and now here I am

Welcome.

Best advice I can give you is to just give Lemmy some time. It can feel a bit empty at first because there's less content than Reddit but

  1. I've been on here 4 months and have already seen a major increase in users.

  2. Spend some time seeking out subs and joining. At first I wasn't finding enough new content to keep me occupied during various downtimes during the day, but now I've got more than enough new stuff every day to keep me entertained.

Fuck Trump and Musk. US should get invaded Iraq 2003 style.

Finally made the permanent switch over to Lemmy. I left a link in the Reddit Safety post so anyone else could convert easily.

It’s an absurd overreach to say the least; good riddance to the corpo-bot platform.

If the content is banned how is it being upvoted?

[–] ShadowWalker@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it gets posted, then you upvote, and it gets banned later they'll issue a mass warning to everyone that up voted out before the ban.
