This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.
Fuck Reddit.
Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
Warms my heart to see all the ‘new account’ badges in this thread.
Fuck Reddit
I’m using the voyager app for Lemmy and it’s just like Apollo. It’s amazing.
Welcome!
Feels like how reddit was when I first used it 12 years ago. Bye bye reddit.
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.
Haha aaaaand that’s how I got here
I mean I think its a good web series. We format it similar to How I Met Your Mother.
Potential seasons Ellen Poa Quarantine Policy The Donald Ban API Changes WSB Mod Policy Changes
And that’s how I met Lemmy.
Reddit really likes it’s exit waves
If the content is banned how is it being upvoted?
Conform, citizen.
At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I’m doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can’t get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they’re only helping me get off my addiction
I’m on the exact same boat, hopefully this will inspire us and others.
Delete all your comments and posts while you still can. Don’t let them profit off you.
I’ll have to stop looking at Reddit for real now.
I was checking it periodically to see if I was missing out on anything, but the entire front page is meticulously curated propaganda & ads now. The manipulation is especially obvious because they rarely even update it now. You’ll see the same shit stuck on popular for days.
But I’m not complaining. It canceled out any FOMO I might’ve had.
I don’t expect this ban hammer will help in their next earnings call.
My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.
Anyways I think this is a dangerous chilling effect and reddit has a terrible track record for not using this as intended, so I can only expect Reddit Admins to use this beyond warning, I expect bans and this used in warrants/NSLs quickly.
Stop using reddit, stop going to reddit. And bring everyone you can to Lemmy. I want to be able to cut out my city subreddits like /r/Denver like a clean shit.
My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.
I’m getting an impression that lemmy.world federation has been super slow recently.
Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.
To be fair, every Air Force base had higher than average Reddit usage back in the day. It was one of the few websites not blocked by default. I don’t know when that changed, Because I was out before then.
But yes, there are also the propaganda teams.
I would expect Moscow or St Petersburg.
Because you’ve been propagandized to hell. A lot of people have. Which is why everyone lost their shit about “Russian interference” over a couple of shitty memes from Russian sources during an election, but didn’t seem to give a shit about electioneering from domestic propaganda sources.
You’re getting far more propaganda from your own country than any other foreign entity, I promise you.
I’m not American, just FYI.
Not my dumpster fire.
Western propaganda and US propaganda aren’t all that different, and usually come from the same sources.
So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad
