I left Reddit during APIGate and I tried lemme and it was full of racist nastiness so I closed my account and recently also left all meta apps and drasticallyreduced tiktok, and thought I might come check out how things are going and it's nice and cozy here now, think I will stay. Been off of x for the better part of 3 years.
Oh damn, I too initially left reddit during the API BS, but I didn't see any of that.
What instance was that? (Was it one of the Tankie Triad?(Hexbear, Lemmygrad or Lemmy.ml?))
I got sitewide banhammered from Reddit for my absent-minded use of the report button instead of using modmail
Even though I was polite in the message Reddit claimed it was mod harassment
It's been over a week and they still haven't responded to my appeal
It won't let me submit another appeal because it says I've already submitted one
I've been on reddit for over 10 years, seems like an odd way to end it.
I'll have to admit though, Lemmy is pretty sweet. I even got Sync back!
Lemmy.world sure seems full of the "Reddit Mod" types that killed reddit, but there are other options in the verse.
I see your point, but it wasn't really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed
Just got here from Reddit. Haven't officially left it, but the concept of the fediverse intrigued me and wanted to check it out
Welcome! Any questions so far?
Welcome! I hope you have fun here!
For me I dropped Reddit fully when I realized it was going down more than lemmy.world ever did lol
Welcome!
Did something new happen on reddit?
Nothing new in particular. People are sick of power tripping mods. Also people that joined Reddit many years ago are sad to see it's turned into something else in many ways. I'm brand new here, I am over Reddit as I just got banned for "threatening violence". I appealed to no avail. I got angry regarding a post about an adult purposely running down a 12 year old. I expressed what I "would feel like doing" to that driver if he knocked one of my sons over on purpose. I didn't actually threaten a real person, it was based on a hypothetical scenario. But no apparently that's threatening violence. So yeah, I'm here.
ah. I thought they did some new, fresh BS and caused another exodus.
It's meta and x that are causing interest in the fediverse again. Pixelfed has gained a lot of users.
I know that, but the title of this post references redditors.
THATS ME!!!!!
Your account age is 4 months tho?
Enjoy, take a poke around, drop some comments.
If anyone is looking for an unpopularopinion sub here, check out opinionhavers which I'm trying to get going.
There is also this one but mods took it offline for a while to protest something or other, so I figure it's good to have alternatives. The mod drama over there if you care.
!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world is open, people created threads yesterday, so not sure what you mean?
It was shut down for around a week to a week and a half, and now it's back. That's what I meant.
The point was: now that it's been shown that the mod is willing to take the sub offline in protest of various stuff, maybe it would be good to support an alternative as well so eggs can be in several baskets instead of just one.
LW reverting that policy is a sign the blackout was justified
Not relevant to this.
Newish to Lemmy, but left due to Reddit terrible mods.
If you hated the power reddit mods wielded, the open fediverse is not for you.
Eh, at least it's way easier for everyone to move on somewhere else (still on Lemmy)
Or to start a better version of a community with blackjack and hookers.
Bah, the 196 drama was entertaining
How do you enjoy public modlogs? !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want to see power tripping called out
Finally took the plunge out of curiosity and a desire to dump reddit at some point.
Holy cow this is me!
Welcome! Here are a few pointers to get you started
It is the first time I see myself as a hiring manager. It's not that displeasing though.. Welcome everyone!
If anyone's wondering what you should do first, the first thing you should do is block hexbear, and the next thing you should do is join any instance other than lemmy.ml. lemmy.world is a good choice, but there's probably one you'll like better.
If you want to know the most trans-friendly instance, it's lemmy.blahaj.zone. There are people who will tell you it's Hexbear. Those people are liars.
