Two years for me, too. But I disagree that it's nicer than on Reddit. The way Lemmy works fosters the development of cliques. Also, with much fewer users it makes it so that 'power' users wind up having a weird cult-like following that boosts their posts/comments and suppresses anyone who dares to point out when those people mistreat other people and/or break the rules that are clearly applied selectively.
Feel free to report such abuse on [email protected]
The irony of that suggestion is very amusing, because the moderator/admin of that community/instance is one of those people.
Then report them on [email protected]
It's really not worth the effort. Nothing will change, and there will always be others.
I would say it's worth it. Communities have moved to other instances after admin power tripping reports. Users have moved to other communities after mods power trips reports.
Just like old web forums, how nostalgic
Nearly the same for me, but it was closer to the end of June that I moved.
I've not contributed to Reddit since, and only really occasionally browse it from my computer when I'm looking for something in particular now.
Kinda helped by the fact the Reddit I used to enjoy seems to be more or less dead anyway. Weird bot filled comment sections, ads shoved in your face, weird monetising features no one asked for, increasingly weird moderation.
Wow. Same here. Haven't logged on since then either. Although I do browse r/printsf in my laptop still... Fediverse is the shit
Congrats! This is definitely a better place than reddit.
4 years over here for me, when lemmy.ml was pretty much the only option.
4 years wow, so you must really remember the more quiet times. Even just in the last 1 to 2 years it's got so much busier.
Yes, it was pretty quiet, but I feel the quality was always pretty good, even from the beginning.
2 years is coming up for me shortly. I realized not too long ago that I’ve always been interested in Reddit alt. I signed up to… volt? I forgot the name, but the users were awful so I didn’t stick around. I’m glad lemmy worked out.
Yeah voat was pretty much nazi central
Wow, thanks for the memories. I waded through the Nazis to get my shitposts on Voat, now I wade through the tankies to get my shitposts here. Reality is a wild and magical thing, isn't it?
Do you recall the year?
Yes! Voat… anyway. Grateful for lemmy.
Has it really been that long...? I can't even tell since I can't log into my OG account anymore to see my join date (yiffit shut down 😭).
Same here. It's been a blast.
Geez that was a quick two years
Me too. Happy 2 years everyone!
