If you're not a russian orc troll, you're not welcome on reddit these days.
Welcome to Lemmy, where the only people you can’t criticize safely are the Muslims and Chinese.
Someone should start Blueit. See cuz they blew it, get it?
Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.
You can't even play Nintendo these days
We're Gooigi gang here. So watch yourself.
Reddit simply doesn't want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content. Much better for advertising revenue that way.
So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?
It's the next best thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
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.
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
Yep, that is why I am here
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
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
Odd since it's arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account
But why would I want to make a new account on Reddit after getting banned for saying things that people need to hear?
If Reddit wants some passive bullshit audience that can’t talk back, and that swallows bullshit posting, I’m good elsewhere.
That would assume you dont have a grudge against the site for banning you.
New to Lemmy and this is me to a T. Reddit just banned my 11+ year old account for expressing my anger at the continued fascist attacks on my country (Canada). So fuck em, I'm not going to bend over backwards trying to make an alt account they won't flag, I'll be sad for the Reddit of bygone days but it's gone now, the new one is rotten to the core.
I think it's more like getting used to the freedoms of Lemmy increases the likelihood of popping up on the radar of some dubious Reddit admins.
