I was device and IP banned for saying Americans needed to have the Guillotines in the streets.
I stand by what I said lol.
Memes about the Fediverse.

We no longer have the productive capability.
Bottom right huh?
Well played lol.
Lmao well played
+50 .ml credit! Good job, comrade. Nutomic is proud. /s
I still have RiF installed 🤷
I used the Reddit is Fun app for like 15 years. The second they took that away I was gone.
Same. Rif was the only good way to browse reddit on mobile imo
You can still use RiF through unofficial patches. I do. I'm here because the bots and hidden account history is just too much to know if I'm even talking to a real person anymore.
I still have a reddit account, but I mostly only use it to look at video game development stuff, and even that is getting less useful with all the AI slop out there.
I like it more here because I don't get banned for saying I think more conservatives should drink raw milk so they'll get listeria and die
Long live Apollo.
I used Apollo, got the lifetime membership, about 6 or 8 months later it gets shut down

YATZEE!
They took my app dammit. Twice actually, I'd been on alien blue. I'd rather put up with you people than their awful app
Bottom left. I was curious. Also I thought maybe, just maybe europe.pub would not be 90% posts about USA and Trump. How naive I was! Turns out I just found a second reddit, and it's occasionally good!
none of these say anything about moving due to privacy concerns and I feel like thats a huge market here.
Tbf, the fediverse isn't private at all and holds no pretense that it is. Yeah your instance isn't selling your data or doing the creepy profile-mapping that meta does, but it's important to be aware that this is very much a public forum
Trump threatened greenland, had all the tech bros at his inauguration and one of them was high on ketamine and heiling, so I figured it was time to leave as many American social media platforms as possible.
The only one I still use is youtube and that's in a logged out state and in a browser.
Can't say I miss Facebook, Instagram and reddit. It's been over a year and I barely think about it nowadays.
I have my issues with Lemmy, but you can filter out most of the bs so at this point it's mostly memes, animal photography and other wholesome stuff that's left in my feed. Life is good.
Third party apps did it for me and most of us with accounts around 3 years old.
One thing that sucks about switching servers is that you reset your bragging rights.
The API change and the general tone they took towards the community when they implemented it.
You don’t have one for “Longtime lurker who used reddit for their daily dose of catching-up-with-the-world but found that the r/all was increasingly showing reality tv discussion subs that they had no interest in”.
Yeah, they finally just killed r/all completely, which is why I'm here. I fucking hate how reddit became this corporate cesspool. It used to be just a regular cesspool with some content I liked.
Fuck ****.
I know I don't have to censor things on Lemmy, but I don't want to be rude anyway.
6/9 also the algorithm change in r/popular was the most damning. Reddit says that ICE is suddenly cool?
For the vast majority of Fediverse users, it was either Elon Musk's announcement in February, 2022, to buy out Twitter, or Elon Musk's actual Twitter buyout in October, 2022.
Followed by a tweet that must have looked something like this:
join mastodon its literally twitter without musk https://mastodon.social/
As for me, I joined the Fediverse long before there was Lemmy, long before there was even Mastodon, even before it was named Fediverse. I stumbled upon a free, open-source, self-hostable alternative to Facebook that even had features beyond Facebook.
Ppl are less insufferable here. Aside from an occasional tankie or Xi bot trying to convince me that having the same ruler for 15 years is good for you actually, we're vibin'
I hear this a lot but never see it. Not entirely sure how the whole thing works but I think you'd be happier on an instance like the one I'm on, where they've blocked the instance(s) hosting the worst of what you describe whilst still promoting a healthy amount of progressive/socialist values.
15 years? I like your optimism. They were last seen discussing how to extend human life beyond 150 by organ transplants.
I only ever accessed reddit from the mobile web, but I left and moved in solidarity because of the API shit. Told me it was somewhere I didn't want to be anymore.
Mine isn't there as an option, the internet was designed and built to be a free and open decentralised place. power, data, and control over the internet shouldnt be concentrated in a small number of corporations or governments. Instead, infrastructure, identity, content, and money should be spread across many independent nodes that no single entity controls. The fediverse is the return to what the internet always has been and always will be, just there was a small blip over the last decade or so where we lost our way.
Does wishing death on Elon Musk and Trump count as a good reason, or a 'good' reason?
Too many unironically racist and sexist people in reddit.
There was one exchange I recently had with an obvious Israeli.
Guy just kept saying didn't understand and such any time I asked why European colonizers had any right to middle eastern land, without involving an imaginary sky man.
Then he/she shut up when I asked about the cultural genocide and infant stealing inflicted on the Mizrahi Jews, and the involuntary birth control given to Ethiopian Jews.
Fascism is an ever shrinking circle.
Shouldnt the top middle be the free space?
