They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
“Free speech absolutist” 🤣🤣🤣
I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.
Fucking hell I didn’t know that! He just believes what suits him
My God they’ve pissed off Hitler
Reddit died June 2023
I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse
I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
Welcome, fellow ex redditor.
Thanks :)
I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell” - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.
To Hell, you say?
I got mine for hoping Elon’s penis pump would explode and burn him to death from the dick up.
My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.
Ya. The ol’ “encouraging violence”. Pretty much the same thing as “national security”
Why don’t we have similar class solidarity?
Because at least in America, we’re all just temporarily embarrassed billionaires. We’ve had a lifetime of brainwashing and conditioning to act against our own self interest.
Don’t worry, I’ll fix it all with my unchecked political influence once I earn my first billion.
(This is sarcasm.)
Why is anyone on Reddit??
Exactly. Just delete your account!
More content than on Lemmy.
Then lets change that
It’s hard for the subreddits that barely have any traction as is. But it’s entirely feasible for most of them. Is there a way on lemmy to have small communities new post always come up on the top of your feed?
First of all this isnt reddit so its not subreddits. We are communities here
And second: feed sorters exist
It’s hard enough getting acclimated here and then someone comes along and asks an innocent question or looks for more information and it’s all “fIrST oF AlL ThIs IsN’t ReDdIt” like no shit, shut the fuck up and stop being the problem with this site that makes people leave.
I’m glad I got banned, Reddit is going downhill fast
Kinda pisses me off that this joke of a clown has this much a authority.
Don’t let it piss you off. Just don’t participate. Leave Reddit. Leave FB. Delete, delete, delete.
I guess time to bail for good?
Probably, yeah. I made new accounts often but my oldest would probably have been 2010. But I’ve given up once I found lemmy aside from occasionally going back to help people come over when I know reddit has further agitated its existing base.
Reddit has been compromised by the oligarchs.
It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.
Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.
when it was good, it was real good. Every subject I could want in one place, and I could organize it as I wish.
Lemmy is a confusing mess and lacking in basic features compared to reddit (although there’s probably front ends I could download that would fix my complaints).
Obviously, I’m here, so the inconvenience is an acceptable price for not being on reddit anymore.
I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.
eventually, imma have to actually look into lemmy front ends or clients. I stand by the statement that I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll prolly have a better time of things if I did.
The day I saw Trump win I knew Reddit was going on the chopping block but even then, it’s been going downhill since 2016 with bots, bot mods, and language policing. Merely saying ‘fucking Luigi’ is a ban worthy offense and it’s absolutely asinine.
I received two platform bans in the last few months over the most asinine things. Hadn’t gotten a single one in nearly 15 years up until now.
I used to have three accounts to manage groupings of subreddits until I was banned for racism for asking lib women to treat white dudes better so an Arab spring like incident doesn’t happen before Trump won.
Do you recognize how problematic it is that you think women can solve men’s own behavior?
Yes but that’s not what that was about. It’s like I was trying to warn them, if you don’t treat men better the men will find a way to be treated better with or without your support and if they don’t have you to support them and keep them from their worst selves they may just choose to fuck everything up. History repeats itself.
I’m sorry? You’re asking us to fix men? Maybe we’re sick of it. How pathetic to even justify such a thing
I was gonna say no at first but you know what? Yes, in regards to not treating them like shit or passively discriminating against them is your civic duty to ‘fix’ them and keep them from being awful like it is men’s duty to look out women.
Furthermore to be abundantly fucking clear because for some reason not a lot of women get this or think this what I mean, I am not saying go fuck incels, I’m saying what goes around comes around and the more you disempower and shit on men the more extreme the reaction against you will be.
We can’t even start fucking public online groups without some feminist trying to shut them down while y’all are circlejerking about hating men. That’s a big problem.
So the plan for men is to beg those you’ve been oppressing for like… most of human history to be nicer to you?
The amount of coddling grown ass men seem to feel entitled to is wild. I got less coddling as a young girl.
‘Pressured’? I hate these types of ‘highlighting’ in titles.
Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.
