Reddit fucking sucks.
The content feels generated, comments feel generated and there's almost no engagement compared to Lemmy.
You mislabel Ubuntu as a rolling release distro and you'll get 20 replies on Lemmy telling you that you're wrong. Reddit is like the house from Home Alone when Kevin was dancing with cardboard people.
I would recommend yall never ever return. I miss some old communities but even when you return you find they are all gone anyway. Some came here, others discord et ad nauseum. The light is gone there, its facebook, a desert. Come here and help us short rddt.
I was there in the beginning. Shit sucks now.
I miss when Reddit was in competition with Digg.
Digg is coming back actually. Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohania bought the domain. Strange times...
Welcome to Lemmy, Reddifugee. We're glad to have you here.
So many engagement bots. I was constantly getting pinged with automated idiocy.
I stop in when I'm on a computer to check three subreddits that are directly related to my trade, and a fourth that is for my local community. The rest is pretty shit TBH. Even my hobbies are better represented on discord these days
I got permanently banned for calling Musk a cunt, and for advocating punching Nazis.
Good riddance.
I gave it up after they banned RIF. I also gave up Twitter. But im really good at dunking on russian propaganda accounts and occasionally troll.
Same here but mine was like "someone might luigi Elon someday" permanent ban account since 2005
I remember seeing a ton of Russian propagandists on Reddit during the first trump election. Many of them hung out in "the Donald" making memes. Later years, it seemed like reddit was cleaning up it's act, but now it's doomed to the worst the Internet has to offer.
Btw, welcome to Lemmy
Eventually it'll all just be bots talking to bots posting "my husband is cheating with my stepsister aita" content
Just as long as those sweet sweet ad dollars keep rolling in; I don't think the people in charge of Reddit give a single fuck.
reddit? reddit's dead
Iβm shadow banned for talking about how the general public feels about Luigi
I got a 3 day ban for the exact same thing. Then got a permanent ban for subverting the 3 day ban on another account ... which I didnt.
They gave me three days ban and I decided to delete my account. They can keep their free speech.
Certain Lemmy instances are not much different from the kindergartens over on Reddit. The same type of kids take over mod roles, forcing everyone to follow their ideology - or else, banned!
I would fully support the option on Lemmy to block or ban entire instances that suppress free expression or prevent challenging false claims and narratives. I would also fully support the possibility to complain about a mod and even demand his removal as moderator with the possibility of banning even the mod. So, not only top-down, but also bottom-up - but so think the letter is not possible in Lemmy. Only instances can be closed.
Iβve only been censored on blaja and hexbear, both of which I donβt frequent anymore. So YMMV.
Easily the two worst lol
Which Sub was it?
I was permanetley banned and politely told to fuck off in 2024 from the site entirely, when people were talking about a possible Trump win, and they talked about how he might actually start helping Russia.
I responded "if the American government starts giving direct support to an enemy at war that is against the very values that the people support, they'll end up with a dead president" It was flagged as "threats of violence" and when I argued, it was made a permanent ban
Ukrainerussiareport
that one is infested with Z, pretending to be "neutral".
that one will slap you with a tag you cant remove if you sway one way or the other, but its only the Pro-Ukraine people who get ridiculed and attack.
Yeah. I was poking the bears but apparently saying Russia is collapsing is hate speech.
Got banned for saying wealth redistribution is required to make our economies and societies function for everyone again
imagine getting banned over saying taxes make society better
3 day ban, rookie levels, come back when you got an IP ban. Cant even make a new account.
3 day special moderation operation
Lol just go restart your modem/router. Unless you're paying for a static IP there is a decent chance it will change.
Only by pc, they check your mobile phone hardware address so i can never use the app on my phone. I already got dynamic ip and yes, as long as i dont connect the app to my phone im fine, but who uses pc for reddit (typing this while taking a shit)
spoofs Mac address
Do not go to lemmy.ml or hexbear, if the reports I saw are any indication...
Get banned there by honoring the untold tens of millions killed by communism and not agreeing to let those atrocities be forgotten.
I too recently got a 3 day suspension. I'm not going back.
13 year redditor. Founding member. Shit sucks now.

Wdym by this
And I was a couple years late to the party
Ditto. It got worse as the user base grew, but going public really accelerated the decline. Lemmy feels a lot like it did back when reddit was fun.
First time?
