Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
To be fair, there’s about a fifty-fifty chance that a subreddit, or lemmy community for that matter, called “supressed news” is going to be filled loonies, and those guys could spend all day masturbating to the though of violently dismantling the power of the World Economic Forum.
Welcome refugees, the waters warm and we’ve got the kettle on for a cuppa
Finally deleted my account there just now. Place is so far removed from the principles it was founded on. Guess I’ll be here a lot more… but hopefully spending less time doom scrolling in general.
I’m glad Lemmy is here as an alternative to Reddit censorship. It really is rich versus poor in the U.S. instead of the right versus left that media propaganda tells us.
They have really unleashed the hounds recently it seems. I wonder how long before they start banning NSFW content.
They floated the idea of charging for access to certain subs a while back. They’re gonna paywall the porn.
Getting banned by reddit for posting rather innocuous comment is probably a good thing. Its UI is garbage anyway.
Suppressed_news is still around.
Lemmy is what reddit used to be.
For anyone that still has a reddit account, if you have any good community subreddits, tell them to relocate to Lemmy :)
Might have been your post that brought me to Lemmy, too. Saw lots of folks saying they got warnings for Luigi/other content I am interested in, and decided I am out, too.
Will spend a couple weeks encouraging people in some of my niche communities, and then no more reddit.
I got myself permabanned for saying even sharks don’t like Russians on a story about a shark attack. On that website since 2008, guess it was a good push in the right direction, it’s been getting shittier.
You must have missed the memo. Russia is fighting against sinful wokeness . Therfor you are in the wrong.
Dont mind me just slowly transitioning over to Lemmy
Im here bc the app I used finally broke after the api changes years ago.
I like it but I do not understand the whole instance thing
It’s just like email. It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance. There are a couple instances that have been defederated from most other instances, but they are few and far between. Anyway, it’s exactly like email.
Think of an “instance” as a server (or servers) where Lemmy is being hosted. So, lemmy.world is hosted by one entity while lemm.ee is being hosted by another. They just have different servers, but they can interact with each other.
I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I’m back for good after I found out they’re also suppressing anti consumption movements.
I hope lemmy becomes large enough to support niche communities, but never coddles nazis like reddit does.
I fear that the Nazis will come first, but am hopeful they keep to their corner.
I came back just a few days before this rush began and boy does it feel prescient
Yiggity yikes.
Blame Murica!
Time’s have changed And Trump is getting worse He won’t obey the judges He just wants to shart and curse
Should we blame the immigrants? Or blame society? Or should we blame the Billionaires like Thiel?
No! blame Murica, blame Murica With all their MAGA conspiracies And flippin’hats made overseas
Blame Murica, blame Murica We need to form a full boycott It’s Murica’s fault.
I don’t appreciate the Luigi praise or the DOGE leaks, either, but I recognize that I’m in the minority on Lemmy (lol) & idk to a certain extent I respect freedom of speech. The DOGE email leak is public info, in that it was leaked to the public…
In any case, we’re all in agreement: R!ddit deserves to die. Just because they were the first runaway success public forum doesn’t mean they own it forever. Especially when they shit the bed, suppress freedom of speech, kill 3rd party apps, & farm out user data for AI scraping.
I don’t condone wanton violence either, of course… but at the same time I recognise someone like Hamlet as a tragic hero. His most famous soliloquy, the “To be or not to be” one, is largely about whether you should stand up to tyranny, even though it may cost you dearly to oppose tyrants, or whether you should try and keep your head down and try to profit personally as a coward.
Yes, it’s better to achieve those goals through non violent means, but you need to draw a moral line. Luigi drew his.
I’ve been editing my thousands of comments over the past few days (via a script obviously). Fuck them.
