Definitely a sign the Fediverse has longevity problems

I am careful what I comment so they either very manually singled me out or I got caught on an automated banner for downvotes (I ended up downvoting a lot since there were such frequent bad takes and posts) are my guesses

Lemmyworld, with its ban of pirating communities, petty bans of random users, frequent downtime, CSAM attacks and new registration restrictions... I wonder which lemmy will overtake it with users since it has proven to be unreliable

Lyrics:

https://genius.com/Oliver-anthony-rich-men-north-of-richmond-lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay So I can sit out here and waste my life away Drag back home and drown my troubles away

[Pre-Chorus] It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Verse 2] I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat And the obese milkin' welfare

[Verse 3] Well, God, if you're five-foot-three and you're three-hundred pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground 'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

[Pre-Chorus] Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Outro] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay

Lemmy is irredeemable

it's just that right wing and libertarians aren't hosting instances, not that it can't be redeemed

left instances can be "trolled" within the rules plenty

Exploding Heads Migration Paths (exploding-heads.com)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by squashkin@exploding-heads.com to c/freeforum@exploding-heads.com

Official EH: Exploding Heads address on Nostr is npub1qprptnnuwnqc6h6wxc2q07rfwcmj7cfc6g4r5dgnlkxaysmpr0mqc5365p

via the sticky: https://exploding-heads.com/post/765290?scrollToComments=true

Nostr migration will gain most or many of us as in the post

Gab freeforum: https://gab.com/groups/72118

Freeforum is on scored but kinda inactive: https://scored.co/c/freeforum

(edit: I feel Scored is kind of dead as it's not federated, but it would be good to get people from there to Nostr temporarily)

ExplodingHeads backup Scored community (?): https://scored.co/c/explodingheads

We can migrate to other Lemmy or Kbin instances (recommended ones?)

Any other forums to check out from the Reddit Alternatives sticky?https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/find_alternatives_for_ourselves_megathread_third/

lol it's reddit 2.0 over there (reddit: fediverse version)

[-] squashkin@exploding-heads.com 6 points 1 year ago

yeah there was no point in thinking redditors wouldn't defederate, it was probably inevitable tbh

[-] squashkin@exploding-heads.com 6 points 1 year ago

holding back was always pointless, I hope you learned your lesson, these people are redditors and would have defederated anyway regardless of us trying to pacify them somehow

[-] squashkin@exploding-heads.com 5 points 1 year ago

reeeeee noooooo systemic racissmmmmmmmmmmmm

them: BULLYING BAD

also them: LISTEN YOU %$#@ BIGOT

[-] squashkin@exploding-heads.com 8 points 1 year ago

they were unironically calling themselves lemmings

[-] squashkin@exploding-heads.com 8 points 1 year ago

oof I kinda want a free speech instance I could care less if they all defederate, hopefully one or a few will open soon

these people would defederate anyway there's no real appeasing them unless you're hyperbolically to the left of bernie
