Bye Reddit

A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.

There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.

It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

The main "encouraging violence" fantasy I have is the next Wolfenstein spiritual sequel. The series has always had G.I. Robot's absolute adoration for the process of painfully ending Nazis' lives, and as long as it could pick out its exact (in-game) faction targets well, like I.C.E., and takes some ideas from Doom's glory kills, it could be a lot of fun.

Some right wing troll said something akin to "so much for the tolerant left." I replied "I don't give two shits about your opinion dude. I'll see you in the streets during the revolution.".

That was my third account banned. I figured that shit was pretty innocuous. 😂 This was a few weeks back.

Fuck reddit. It's probably for the best. They're talking about paid subs coming next year or whatever. I hope reddit burns to the ground.

Your revolution sounds peaceful. I take your comment to mean "you might disagree but we'll both be revolting together arm in arm against the billionaires". I don't even see where violence is implied lol.

Don't forget to leave a bad review on how bad the app features and performance is.

Everyone please put your narwhals and your bacon in the trash, this is jeans and beans country

(But you can put bacon in the beans, and on everything else, and by itself … no sense wasting bacon)

I got banned for suggesting that maybe all the conservatives young men (the “alpha male types”) should be sent to an island where they can fight in an artificial, made up war against each other and then when they return home they’ll be progressives.

LOL. I was just making a point that people who call for wars are often the ones who have never fought in one. Oh well. Getting banned from Reddit is probably for the best, I should be supporting Canadian services anyway.

Do you guys hate nazi oligarchs here?

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Do you guys hate nazis?

Yes.

Do you guys hate oligarchs?

Also yes!

I mean I can't speak for everyone but that's a pretty common sentiment here.

I've been here since reddit backstabbed its 3rd party app devs, and even just since then, Lemmy has grown a LOT while reddit continues to enshittify.

Welcome aboard!

We should advertise lemmy more often on reddit. Lemmy and mastodon are the mother of all social media and we should all switch to it. Ditch the billionaires owned profit driven social media!

Would have been two days ago, but I was doing yardwork this weekend from when I got up until I dropped and wasn't online.

I don't tend to post things that would get me a ban, but the principle of it and who was actually catching the consequences made it clear who was taking the space over. I almost moved here back during the mod api protests and I refused to use reddit for about six months, but this is a point of no return. Hopefully activity will increase in the topics I read about.

Can confirm, have made the move. It was only a matter of time before that place went down the fascist watch list.

Facebook, gone. Amazon, gone. Reddit, gone.

Gotta get rid of my Google account next.

Hi. I made it.

Just deleted my 13-year-old account. I'm fucking pissed how much effort I put into that fucking place. The hardest thing was overwriting my content so they don't grt to keep my work. It's done, fuck that place.
