If you have reddit go hype it up or downvote naysayers, theres always way more ppl voicing dissent in comments driding reddit even if they get upvotes
"It simply doesn't have the userbase (ie the people aren't there, they're all here...) and there's censorship and shenanigans even with the "Fediverse" model. Basically, the worst of all worlds, combined. At least with Reddit, all the peeps are here." Its always them claiming some censorship bs, I have yet to be censored here, id get a comment removed once a week on reddit.
It's funny to me that they are in a "reddit alternatives" forum, but somehow expect there to be a ready-made Reddit alternative out there with a comparable user base.
As if they're running a search mission where thousands of users are searching the Internet for a mythical website - an El Dorado - where millions of users have been active for centuries, dancing around and living happily, just outside the field of vision of the Redditors. It's not a matter of creating a community, it's merely a matter of discovering it.
Im not even gonna lie, that is close to what I was looking for back when I joined that sub, I just assumed there was one out there I was missing lmao (it was lemmy, it was always lemmy, I just needed to use it for a hour)
Nice analogy ha ha
You definitely need to police yourself better here but that's because actual humans are making the judgement calls vs programs.
The trade off for me is I suspect if I told an instance owner there was CSAM on their instance they would not struggle to keep it up.
Idk I go out of pocket ocasisonally (relative to what id say on redditg to test the waters, I may be getting blocked and not know it, but at least not getting comments deleted on any profiles
What censorship do they even mean??? There's everything from super liberal .world to Grad to anarchist db0 to actual straight up Naziverse instances. What possible censorship could they be talking about?
