Left Reddit as soon as Boost stopped working

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.

We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .ee account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]

Step up Lemmy, cometh the hour cometh the platform!

What's an "active user"? Can I just up vote things I like, do I need to leave comments like this, or must I get involved in senseless flame-wars?

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

AFAIK, voting counts as active.

I was fed up with reddit and looking to make a change that won't put money in spez's pocket, arrived a few days ago.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I also broke free from Reddit. Hopefully in lemmy we are not limited to only post things that agree with moderators point of view.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

For sure. There can also be a problem of too little moderation, though. There is a balance to be struck between censorship of opposing views and getting rid of off-topic spam.

For instance, there were a few regional subreddits that were obviously intended to be for thing like "Which restaurants are worth a 30 minute drive to go to" and "Come to my band's concert at the waterfront this weekend", but had turned into basically nothing but off-topic spam wars about national level political topics.

The mods refused to do anything about it, so I just left because 90+% of the content was stuff I didn't come to that subreddit to read. Keep that shit on r/politics.

This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:

Realized I'm trans
Procured a Steam Deck
Started pirating again
Been on HRT for over a year and counting
Developed a chronic dependency on Yuri manga
Lost 50-60 lbs

I hope you have a good time here as well!

Sounds like some very positive changes in your life. Glad to hear that you've been improving yourself.

My wife and I recently had to make a difficult but necessary change in our own lives, fleeing from the US to live in France while we wait to see what shakes out of the chaotic situation there over the course of the next year. Been starting in on the language learning, but it's been slow going.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How was that process? Is your wife French? I wish I had dual citizenship anywhere.

Welcome!

Thanks, glad to be here. This place seems way more welcoming than I remember reddit ever being. But I was a little late to the party on Reddit, I joined in 2016.
