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.

Welcome. It's better here and with more it will grow. Thinking about hosting even. Why not.

I got banned for harassing a mod

I still have no idea what they were talking about

I was on reddit for over 10 years

If we ever get our hands on the data, I think it's probably a safe hypothesis that most of the banned users are anti-trump.

Gotta make reddit a safe space to support his reign or emperor Donny will have a temper tantrum and Spez is easily frightened into submission

Yep all three of my accounts got banned from Reddit yesterday for no good reason. Everyone should seriously leave that trash heap asap

I switched over and am permanently deleting my accounts. Be sure to do that, and don't just stop using it. They'll really only start to feel it when a bunch of 10+ year accounts start deleting, since they can't waive it away as "consumer fickleness" that will swing back around

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 3 days ago

Don't just delete accounts, delete all your posts first. There's multiple 3rd party tools to do it since Reddit only lets you do 1 at a time manually

I've seen that sort of shit and have now left Reddit and come over too

The Fediverse exists because developers and users alike believe in freedom. Freedom is always limited in some degree in centralized structures. Other platforms have an incredible advantage though, which is having a large user base. But all the people in the Fediverse chose for the free (as in libre) alternative regardless. And so the monopolies will be challenged. The alternatives are there, and whenever momentum grows, it will expand. I believe that eventually the Fediverse will win, simply because it's a convincing idea, worthy of our faith, and so we stick with it. Don't be demoralized by it taking time. Freedom persists if we continue to believe.

I'm starting to feel left out that I never got banned. Still not going back though
