Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
Dont mind me just slowly transitioning over to Lemmy
I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I’m back for good after I found out they’re also suppressing anti consumption movements.
Reddit can keep all the NPCs.
I hope lemmy becomes large enough to support niche communities, but never coddles nazis like reddit does.
I fear that the Nazis will come first, but am hopeful they keep to their corner.
So far, most instances are hostile to nazis because they saw what reddit became. I hope that persists. nazis should not be welcome here like they are on reddit.
The great part about federation is that there isn’t a central control, and so they can in fact have their own instances, and either your instance can block their instance or you as a user can block their instance and you never have to see them or deal with them.
Yiggity yikes.
…wow. Fuck that place.
Well, if you don’t pay for the service, advertisers will, and they won’t like anti-consumption content. Catering to your customers and all that… you are the product, doesn’t matter what you want.
I came back just a few days before this rush began and boy does it feel prescient
What are they doing exactly?
Someone will post about victories in anti consumption and mods will remove it minutes or hours later. r/news is especially guilty of this.
Im here bc the app I used finally broke after the api changes years ago.
I like it but I do not understand the whole instance thing
It’s just like email. It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance. There are a couple instances that have been defederated from most other instances, but they are few and far between. Anyway, it’s exactly like email.
Think of an “instance” as a server (or servers) where Lemmy is being hosted. So, lemmy.world is hosted by one entity while lemm.ee is being hosted by another. They just have different servers, but they can interact with each other.
Ah okay that makes sense thank you
Me too. Was a huge reddit user but they banned me. Reddit has been going down hill for awhile. Banning to many subs that didn’t do much wrong.
Same, it’s been hard to quit. I never really lost but I perpetually lurk.
Now I’ve heard Reddit is banning users for upvoting posts about Luigi. My new goal is to be banned so I can cut the cord.
