MODERATORS
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.
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.
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
I left Twitter and Reddit and I found Lemmy and Mastadon. Lemmy is going much better than Mastadon.
Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.
Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)
I don't have an issue with "toxicity" as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the "BBS/Usenet format" to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don't participate much though.
Spite
I can't be on Reddit, but I like the branching comment format and thematic post grouping ideas I learned there.
To give me something to do on my phone during work hours since there's no way I'm touching the official reddit client
I tried Reddit but I had enough with all the rules and corporate cleanliness of it. I used this site called 'Saidit' for a bit but but no one ever posted there so I looked into Reddit alternatives and stumbled across Lemmy. The rest is history
Quora's enshittification ~2018-2024 went too far, and I'm still looking for something good enough. Checking out Lemmy, Trust CafΓ©, and Kialo.
Because Kbin isnβt around anymore
Got banned from Reddit. Enjoying Lenny so far but thereβs some subreddits that donβt have enough traffic so I still go back to peruse. Anyone got advice to get around the reddit ban?
Reddit mobile app support was the last straw.
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.
Lemmygrad is Lemmy
Yet I'm no longer allowed to post on lemmygrad for saying that the US democrat party has been taken over by olifeminists and transsexualists, while the republican party is now occupied by olimachoists and zionists. They are no longer left and right, just right and right.
I'm still allowed to post here though.
waiting for a bus
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.
API issue made me leave, AI scraping posts and forcing ads made me stay away.
AI is definitely already here. AI will be scraping anything public facing it can reach
For BSD and Unix community
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.
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.
I like the ability to actually see everything from an API standpoint. Reddit is also overwhelmingly negative, and im looking for a place to discuss with people willing to actually do something other than complain.
Initially because reddit permabanned me. Then I got comfy here
It's the spot!
