I've been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I'm still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else's dick thank you very much.
Just keep in mind lemmy is hosted independently per instance and there are psychotic admins and mods here too.
I block conservative instances here, they always try to post clickbait threads
My distaste for reddit is also increasing. Good I found lemmy. Still not sure how it works.
Same here, this is my first post!
I had a 13 year old account on Reddit, they can get fucked. The place is turning to crap, and now that boost has stopped working, I'm not using their shitty Reddit app.
i did the same thing, i was skulking around the modhelp sub, they are totally complicit with the admins current banning directives. the mods are okay if people are randomly getting banned or comment removed, regardless if they had a ban in the past that was lifted. they just assume all is ban evaders. they are quite lazy people too.
also filters not resetting after peoples ban is lifted, is on reddit. i do give credit some mods did go out of thier way to help out a user that got banned, but the mods approved thier comments, but reddit was still banning them. thier AI banning is too faulty.
I just downloaded it after logging in and seeing that dystopian BS! I’m out lol
I deleted my 12 year old account just this week because most subs I followed have been taken over by the image gen people (‘my friend fell in love with this and wants me to build it for her/him’) and I’m just pushing the market value of a shit product in my free time for no good reason. I don’t miss karma farming bots one bit
Yeah, i deleted mine last year right after it turned 17 years old due to the API decision that broke 3rd party apps. I will browse on occasion, but it’s a mess for someone with ADHD these days.
As you mention, all memes/images and “am I the asshole with my story that attempts to paint me in a good light but you can still tell we are both stupid pieces of shit?”
