Asklemmy

I don't think all social media should be based in one country because that creates a risk of political censorship.

I want to talk to people online but reddit is too yucky. Lemmy has a better community than reddit and it's not for proffit open source decentralized and all the other things that I love.

I'm here because Reddit got shitty. And I really wanted a decentralized platform, where one person couldn't screw things up for everybody else. It's a lot harder to "take over" a social media platform when it's spread out over 600 Instances in many different countries.

To monetise it and extract wealth from lemmings.

The people inside the walls told me to. I no longer dare to defy them.

apology for poor english

when were you when Reddit dies?

i was sat at home eating smegma butter when pjotr ring

"Reddit is kill"

"no"

just one more fedi account bro just one more

Quora's enshittification ~2018-2024 went too far, and I'm still looking for something good enough. Checking out Lemmy, Trust Café, and Kialo.

I found it in the reddit kerfuffle and stayed because it reminded me of a combination of Usenet text forums and early Reddit. The pace here is manageable and it's mostly nice.

So I am here for whatever I was on Usenet then Reddit for, just to have a space to read people's opinions and maintain a niche community.

Reddit's app is a pile of shit and I did not want to be forced to use it. I have donated to Boost a couple of times.

To give me something to do on my phone during work hours since there's no way I'm touching the official reddit client

Where Boost goes, I go.

The lack of accountability of mods on reddit. Reddit doesn't want to lose their free labor.

Reddit went ban happy and nuked my 13 year old account over attempting to appeal a mod power tripping over an innocent comment they didn't like.

Which was after the api think killed RiF

Initially because reddit permabanned me. Then I got comfy here

For an actual community. I was tired of Discord and Reddit.

I have created different emails and using different ip address form different networks. The moment I use the account on my current ip, I get banned

Got banned on Lemmygrad for being hitler. Most of my family considers me Stalin.

Reddit banned me for saying I should be allowed to punch Nazis, appeal silently declined within the hour. Didn't consider it worth pursuing further, had reddit-shaped hole.

just lemmy or the federation? im on mbin and I left with the big reddit migration and was pleasantly surprised to find something a bit closer to the old internet I knew. Im one of the few who don't see the need for it to get popular but its fine to me if it does.

It's the spot!

For BSD and Unix community

Got banned from Reddit. Enjoying Lenny so far but there’s some subreddits that don’t have enough traffic so I still go back to peruse. Anyone got advice to get around the reddit ban?

API issue made me leave, AI scraping posts and forcing ads made me stay away.

Reddit mobile app support was the last straw.

I'm new here, but the straw that broke the camel's back was reddit getting rid of r/random. Also more reposts than new content. Also feels like there are more bots than people. Plenty of other anti-user stuff over the years.

waiting for a bus

In the past, I always felt good about never being on Twitter, considering how much people complained about it on Mastodon.

And then I realized I instead visited Reddit daily. To maintain my perceived superiority, I had to quit that and ended up here.
