Memes about the Fediverse.
Other relevant communities:
The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won't be going offline in 2 weeks.
Many of the people here were banned from reddit for being unbearable and they learned nothing
I told a Nazi spouting hate to drink bleach. what did I learn?
Reddit is full of Nazi supporting scum.
edit: I also got banned from imgur for telling a person promoting the euthanasia of disabled people was better than allowing them to "dirty the pool". I also told them to drink bleach.
Imagine my surprise when a US president tells people the same thing and gets reelected!
I came here because I was permabanned from all os Reddit because I wrote an elevator lie about. A fictitious lie about a cheese man roaming the campus late at night
Edit:I’m sorry I can’t make this coherent I’m knocked badly
Are you sure it was a lie ?
I've been perma-banned from reddit a bunch and I eventually just got tired of making new accounts lol.
heheh they use some kind of fingerprinting, a combination of your OS, ISP IP, and browser. At some point you can't keep creating new accounts.
Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I used an encrypted email to make my last account
Yes but you still used the same computer and configuration to go to the reddit website to sign up, right?

All your encrypted email does is make it hard for someone to read your email. It doesn't stop all the metadata.
Ah, thanks for clarifying, if you can't tell I'm not particularly tech savvy
I'm here because I was banned from Reddit for speaking against fascism.
I'm a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I'm decent, you see?
Yea, reddit api thing burned that bridge, been happy ever since.
Same, but kind of sucky sharing a perimeter with authoritarians and the worst kind of anarchists. If Lemmy were a physical location and not an online space I'd be sleeping fully armed.
What do you consider the worst kind of anarchist? If I were to guess it would be anarco capitalists. Because they're just capitalists. But that's just me.
People who want to cleanse this nation with fire and violence, and who advocate against any form of participation in politics.
aka a subway station
I don't mind reading their points of view. I block people that cross lines but overall I appreciate different viewpoints.
I feel like "the people who represent your views are lying to you, murder all your government officials and open the ports for invasion" isn't really a point of view worth respecting, but I never block anybody for any reason.
I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.
i was banned before all that drama, i posted/reported on someone on r/technology and recieved a temp ban for "reporting too much, or reporting that isnt "approved nebulously"
Tbqf not missing much, place is a cesspit
Im here because I'm fucking stubborn.
I hate the Reddit app, give me back RIF and I'll abandon this place in a heartbeat. Give me a paid Reddit option to fuck the adds off and Ill take it. Ill pay $20 a month not to have to listen to you neckbeards to try and make literally every conversation about capitalism, linux or Trump.
Bunch of one note ass motherfuckers, you think I dont know the world sucks? I want some escapism for fuck sake.
Have you heard of FreeBSD or Haiku? You could become even more extreme than us Linux users. Think about it!
BSD and Haiku users are far more chill and dont deny obvious downsides their OS has.
I want some escapism for fuck sake.

Looks like you want to be free. There is an easy way to do that, if I may ask for just 5 minutes of your time....
I like it here for the most part but I don’t like the reddit tendencies. Stuff we solved many years ago there. Why is it not great anymore?
People ruin everything.

I left reddit at the same time for the same reason; found Lemmy, and honestly I've loved it. Looking at other comments, it looks like you're actually running an instance, so your interaction with the fediverse has been very different from mine... can definitely understand burnout from that angle!
I'd recommend just making an account on an established instance, then curating your personal feed reductively by blocking communities and posters whose content you're not interested in. That process will take weeks, but just keep passively blocking shit you don't want to see, and the quality of your experience will skyrocket.
To be fair @[email protected]
You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.
Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡
Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.
Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.
Little of column A, little of column B.
I dont care. If you got banned from reddit youre doing the world a great service.
hay, some of us were dutifully agitating for the cause!
