Me too.

Yeah, now we have platforms that can topple democracies

To be fair, lemmy.world response was more like “can you folks please not get us nuked IRL, we have to remove the most colourful posts, sorry” and not this Reddit response, which is more like “has anyone seen Spez? He locked himself in the closet with a shotgun aimed at the door, and we hear some agitated breathing from that direction every time someone nearby plays a Mario game”

We’re on a lemmy.world community right now and people seem to be talking about it just fine…?

I received a permanent ban from Reddit last week, and I’m here for the same reason. And Reddit IS turning facist, as the rich close ranks. Fuck them. Any “spirited” criticism of Trump/Musk is characterized as encouraging violence and results in temporary bans, many of which I received, until recently when I apparently crossed a line which was too offensive (to the Mods). Therefore…

Same. I originally came here after they killed off 3rd party apps, then I figured out how to patch RiF again and didn’t spend as much time here.

The propaganda and misinformation have gotten to be too much. Advice subs are all fake AI stories. Admins are making a fuss about people breaking the rules, but refuse to disclose what the rules actually are.

I really enjoy Lemmy. The downside is that it’s not as easy to organize (and find) niche spaces like on reddit. I’m hoping the small communities have grown more since the first mass migration.

I’ve been over here for a year off and on, Lemmy ain’t bad at all, could use some more resistance joining for sure.

the immense amount of bans they came last month, ongoing since nov 5th is just made some of us come here. they are going to keep banning, or make it easier to ban until only right propaganda is left, also the increased amount of on the ability to ban people that “report other people” has also increased. you can get banned for reporting someone or reporting “too much” apparently.

Welcome, sibling! I came over in the rush after the reddit API debacle. Some things I’ve learned in the last year:

We may not have Sprog here yet, but get to know the environment, including colorful fauna such as:

• Cephalopods that have Colonized the Skies.
• The embodiment of the habitual movements of a space captain.
• People that are kind-of like ossified remains.
• People whose entire self identities revolve around draconic coitus (and all the controversy this brings).

The vast majority of posts are made by, like, ten people, and I’m pretty sure they never sleep. I’m currently unconvinced that Flying Squid isn’t just a full colony of Humboldt Squid, constantly ramming into a giant submerged keyboard.

As far as controversies: Avoid the “tankies”. You will find them on Hexbear, Lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad. They will not be going away, since the original creator of Lemmy is, apparently, one of them, and seems kind of mad with power. They treat with no man, and are willing to do anything to convince you that authoritarianism is good, as long as it calls itself “socialism”. One would think they would have learned their lesson from “National Socialism”… They apparently have not. Not everyone from those servers is a tankie, but most tankies are on those servers. Think of Tankies as the lemmy subspecies of those trolls you shouldn’t be feeding.

Contribute to discussions! Especially on a place as small as Lemmy, lurking actively harms the community! Unlike most places, it’s generally fairly easy to figure out who’s being disingenuous and arguing in bad faith, and most people are very reasonable! (As long as you never say anything bad about Linux. Be forewarned. Do not engage unless your autonomic nervous system runs Arch)

Welcome!

Welcome to Lemmy, bud!

We have lots of Linux and Star Trek memes.

I highly recommend that when you update “all” or your “front page” - be sure to set youe filter for “Hot” results. Gets you the fresh, interesting shit.

The cuck CEO loves Elon and is an enthusiastic meat rider.

spez does love musk and trump

I did. I left more than a year ago after I was permabanned for asking a question about whether someone would be banned if they asked certain things. Fuck those guys. I hear Digg is coming back though.

You can do that on Daily Kos too. I am permanently banned from commenting due to it. Those fuckers are too DNC oriented any way.

i commented on R/technology and got “temp suspend for reporting too much” and that somehow triggered reddits AI to ban all my other accs.

they saw how the META android zuckerberg did, use AI harvest “Dead accounts” Facebook and drive the engagement.

It’s still the only major community hub for loads of hobbies and such. As an example: the Magic the Gathering community here has 1300 members and almost no activity.

It’s been limping for a while, but the momentum was huge to begin with. The niche subreddits still had good participation, not great, but good enough. These latest shenanigans might be the final tipping point, though.

there are niche subs there i vist that usually cant replicate somewhere else, and people are addicted to the news and political posts.
