    Seems like a bad time to be introducing such a thing in the immediate future when European users are already seeking out alternatives to US tech giants and US users are losing their jobs and facing rising grocery prices.

      Yep, hi, here am I. Usually I think news like these are fearmongering for clickbait, like those old “Facebook is going to be paiiidd!” (As if “being free” wasn’t at the very core of its appeal and selling point) but reading the room this day and age I don’t think I’d be that surprise if a change like that did happen to Reddit. The only good think about this shitstorm of an age is that it made me find the fediverse and I will never forgive myself for not caring enough to find it earlier.

        a few days ago i saw how r/redditalternatives has only “lemmy bad!” posts and i know for a fact folks here have been spreading the word about lemmy in a positive way so don’t blame yourself, reddit has been actively censoring any good thing said about lemmy or the fediverse in general

        i looked marginally deeper into this and it’s apparently all the way to shadow bans :) link

          Oh, so that’s why I saw some post about reddit alternatives and the person replying had to mask lemmy. Oh wow.

          seems like its posted around the same time reddit started banning people in large numbers.

      Can confirm. That’s why im here. Figured I’d just jump earlier with the whole avoiding US companies vibe too.

      Same, just got fed up about all this bullshit and degoogled every device in my life, as time passes we get more and more exploited by these giant companies.

    So Reddit wants to move to a pay model, which would mean they’d have banking information on record for any user that might be of interest to the federal government.

    No thank you.

      I just got permabanned because the admins didn’t like me saying “the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”

      I don’t know about you, but I’m fucking done with social media companies kowtowing to Nazi, racist, and outright fascist bullshit with the intent of “not inciting violence”. By tolerating intolerant people, they fell victim to the paradox of tolerance.

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.
