Fediverse memes

Can anyone recommend any other places? Ones where mods aren't overzealous and biased *****.

(The stars represent a word I would probably be banned for saying).

I've been browsing Lemmy for 2ish months, went ahead and made an account just recently. Deleted my Reddit account last week and I'm chuffed.

Here for The Great Reddit migration. People left Digg for Reddit for similar reasons. Although the issues with Reddit are magnitudes more concerning.

When I first joined Lemmy there was hardly conversation to be found but now things are starting to really pickup. Next you will really start to see niche communities thrive and I'm all for it.

Welcome to our reddit refugees!

Thanks for the welcome wagon. This was the first post I clicked on. I feel like a boomer (I am not one) trying to understand the Fediverse even though I can understand how email works, somehow I can't apply that to how it works here. Like am I supposed to be able to see Mastadon or Pixelfed content on here? What would that look like? Ok also had some weed tincture so that probably has something to do with my confusion. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Saying it again to everyone in the back. The modlog is a great feature. Instance Mods and admins can't just disappear people and communities without a trace, and trolls can't make up stories of unfair moderation without bringing receipts and their old account name.

Ive had this account for a while, but I've mostly lurked. I like it better here anyways.

I have arrived

I got a temp ban for calling Usha Vance a class traitor. I said that when fascism progressed far enough she would likely not be safe from the overt racism and patriotism because she's brown. 3 day temp ban. Reddit is shilling for the fascist and corporate overlords. That along with warnings just for upvoting posts. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

It's funny because I bet a lot of us that came on the API wave had/have 15+ year old accounts.

Mines 18.

I had a post from /r/teenagers show up on my homepage and I realized that my account is older than most people there say they are.

So of course Spez rolled over like a bitch

I remember Reddit after I started using it, around the time of the Digg exodus. It was a fun community of nerdy people. Just doing some things because it was cool.

A few years later, I had the weirdest feeling that that vibe was gone. That both behind the scenes, and more overtly, they had to be prepping for accommodation of corporate interests. A little bit of officially sanctioned promotion here, a dash of ignoring guerrilla marketing there.

And for several years now, it's not even subtle anymore. Reddit does what some dude with money bags says must be done, users be damned.

Refugee crisis on lemmy?

Wir schaffen das

Reddit has turned into a real fuck of a fuck over the last few weeks. It was a bad omen when they started charging for API access, but that was just a preview. They're in full-on enshittification mode now.

You get shadowbanned for unspecified reasons, without apparently breaking any rules. They do cute shit with vague error messages rather than tell you what's up. Zero actual communication.

They're also busting people for upvoting super mario kart jpegs for some reason, but when they do that they actually tell you.

Fresh from reddit here. What is the difference in subscribing and bookmarking a community and how do I find them after I subscribe/bookmark?

I'm using the Summit app if that makes a difference.

Wait so Reddit is taking action against moderators who block X links on their subreddits? Wow! That’s draconian as fuck!

I hope we get a big influx. There’s so many small subreddits I like which have no Lemmy equivalent!

Deleted my Reddit account when I could no longer use Apollo, but still kept up with a few subs for certain info. Finally discovered Lemmy and after being here for a short while I’ve nearly stopped visiting. This news has given me the push to be done 100%.

Woo! Thanks for the mander.xyz shout out. Come for the science memes, stay for the top-tier science discussions.

Been here for a few weeks now and have not looked at Reddit since. Time to cut ties and delete my account there I think.

I created my account on lemmy a couple of years ago for the same reason as most - tired of the enshittification, guerilla marketing, corporatization etc. I deleted my reddit account this week when I realized that even using hundreds of reddit enhancement suite filters wasn't making the place palatable anymore. Disappointing to see all the negativity towards the lemmy instance I joined though, I'm not willing to make a new account so I guess it is what it is.
