I just got banned from reddit for criticizing the government of Israel. Bibi must have some real dirt on Trump.

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
As a response to this change, here I am on Lemmy instead.
Welcome! Strap in. It's an opinionated bunch here, to be sure, but also the #1 place I've ever seen on the Internet where people will sometimes go -
"oh, ya know, you were right, my bad". Or similar.
But don't get the wrong idea, still the Internet lol.
Seems like a cool community so far
I'm in this thread because of lemmys "all" view
Welcome to Lemmy, the frontpage of the internet.
Please, do help with creating content. Be the change you want to see. Lemmy is for the community, by the community. Welcome!
I don't even care anymore to be honest. Most of the legacy social media platforms have become absolute garbage. Reddit was the introduction to the wild west of internet commentary for me. Compared to 15 years ago versus today it's unrecognizable.

What's Reddit?
Am I the only one who doesn't use Reddit? That platform has been getting enshittified for years. Plus, Lemmy encourages actual discussions and isn't filled with AI bots.
it's got porn though
In my experience Lemmy also has great porn, though I'm not picky myself. I was using lemmynsfw.com for a while, but now that's shut down. I think there's been a new instance to replace it.
there is some potential for sure
Just use old.reddit.com to browse porn, and delete your account.
You should see porn sites!
Unfortunately if you live in a shithole state you can't look at most of it.

Sadly like other platforms the population is not high enough on lemmy for exclusivity. Like certain niche sub reddit dont exist on lemmy. Like it still top for tech support searches.
True, but that's easily solvable, especially if people start dual posting

it's a weird feeling when a feature to see the same stuff that everyone else sees gets removed in favor of personalized feeds. it's like my connection with the outside world was severed. this sucks.
They're all basically converging on the same shitty business model, these aren't intended as products for you to use they intend you to serve them
Reading this announcement felt like an April Fools' joke.
r/all is still working for now though, but wtf.
Reddit is completely compromised. Fuckin sad to see. I got Perma banned about a week ago so I suppose there's nothing I'll be missing out on. I hate to sound hyperbolic but the internet we once knew is gone. For a brief moment I. Human history we had almost unrestricted access to the wealth of human knowledge, paired with the ability to form niche forums accessable to everyone within our reach and we squandered it.
End of an era. Now the internet is a circlejerk fest of bots, slop, and propaganda. I migrated to Lemmy, seems like it's starting to hit another wave of growth. I don't see social media having the utility it once did, especially the mainstream sites.
Hell, even Google is slop nowadays. I always prided myself on my Google skills, being able to quickly find answers to whatever I needed. Now the first results are some slop pages that just spew out false information. Even with an adblocker it's a pain to use.
So for years now I often added "reddit" to any Google search, but that lost its value too.
Generally I should be less online anyway (:
Yeah. Something. Like 75-80% of all content on the internet is AI generated now. Might be much worse since that figure was hit a while ago.
The internet isn'tade for humans anymore, which is ultimately something I don't understand. Ai chat bots have taken over and we're calling it "intelligence".
For what? So a few rich fucks can eek out every last penny from us. If you're human, I hope you're well. Maybe getting off the internet is what we really need
I guess we can still have small safe heavens for humans though.
Like I have a Discord server I like chatting on. And just being here on Lemmy again for a day I had more interactions than in a month on Reddit.
Exactly like FB changing their algorithm so you no longer see friends life updates at all and now see spam, ai slop, and ads.
Which defeats the whole point but at this point Facebook is just hanging on if it's existing user base sucking what little value there is left out of it before it collapses from totally irrelevancy
Which defeats the whole point
The modern model for Facebook is as digital flypaper. Trapping users in their ecosystem on the assumption the social network and the poor tech skills, plus the highly addictive algorithm, will keep them mired in psychological quicksand until all their vital essences are harvested.
As disgusting as the site is, I still find myself peaking back in to reach out to an old friend or family member, because that's literally the only way I have to communicate. Incredibly frustrating.
I'm going to save this description. 🎯
Facebook has had a tab that only shows friends content for a while now
The removal of all finally made me feel shitty enough on reddit that I've come back to give Lemmy another shot

Still works perfectly fine under Old Reddit. Was refreshing the page and browsing it just this morning.
They're saying it will be phased out entirely...
It works, for now
I doubt old Reddit is going to survive much longer. It’s already pretty broken in a lot of ways.
Reddit and X are the two social media spaces where I legitimately don't know how they're making money lol.
I mean I guess reddit signed an AI deal for content scraping, but what's the point if no useful new content is generated.
Even ignoring the fact that its probably the leading reason why Gemini sucks total crap.
They aren't. They run off of VC money and cheap lending. Most of the sudden enshitification we are seeing is a direct consequence of the end of the era of easy money

i just joined because of this. i was waiting for lemmys community to grow a bit larger first but r/all is literally the only reason i browse reddit at all. these idiots are playing themselves with this crap
That's the problem. All reddit users are waiting for lemmy to be larger without actually wanting to be part of making it larger. It's a vicious cycle. Fortunately for us reddit is hell bent on shooting it's own foot
I comment frequently and occasionally post, which puts me in the top % of users per the 90-9-1 rule
I believe Lemmy is pretty lively at the moment.
It's good enough now.that I don't get bored but there is still a narrow range of topics that are lively at the moment.
It is in some communities. But there are certain places I used to see pretty regular updates and engagement on Reddit that either don’t exist here or are absolute ghost towns. You can say that’s because of a different user base and different priorities and that’s fair — but then you can’t complain about low involvement/engagement by people who want to participate in those communities.
I miss the thriving, active subreddits for fountain pens, watches, and calculators. I tried being the change I wanted to see in a watch community, but after about a week of being the only poster, It just kinda felt like I was just showing off my watch collection. Fountain pens is a bit more active, at a few posts per month. Forget about calculators.
