I bet the fediverse wouldn't censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn't a bitch.

MODERATORS
People here censor all kinds of shit they don't like lmao
Mods!! This one, right here. Thanks
Reddit took action faster about Lemmy than they did responding to the epidemic of CSAM subs.
Reddit currently has an active and massive beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images, but they have comment threads with discussion and advice. Just as with r/jailbait, people post fishing for the real stuff.
I left reddit because they kept resisting the removal of subs that directly used the platform to sell CSAM under the guise of a specific niche of porn which normally is legal. Direct contact with reddit to explain why it was CSAM went nowhere.
Welcome here!
That sounds right for the company whose CEO was appointed moderator of r/jailbait. This was before you had to accept an invitation to be moderator, but fuck Spez regardless.
How can you look more alien than Zuckerberg?
He was the inspiration for reddit's logo
No, the logo is cute
It made me make an account here. I also convinced the group chat to move to signal last night.
Same! It was two groups and I didn't actually have to convince anyone. It turned out we all had Signal all along, but were binding eachother to stay on WhatsApp, I dunno, through some weird ass inertia I guess.
Based
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
Welcome, pal!
omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes
I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website
I still see the comment on Spaduf's profile, but it shows as deleted in the post
I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in
Reddit is scared. Good job getting the screenshot.
Gotta be. It was right after I made the edit.
actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn't seem to happen in r/fediverse
no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed
no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol
Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.

Is 500 upvotes that much on reddit?
On lemmy its huge, but on reddit i have seen posts with twice that in niche subreddits
For a comment it's a lot yea, especially since the thread was still pretty new. It was the top comment in that thread by a large margin.
Oh crap
Was reading through the thread and holy shit I swear half the comments are anti fediverse propaganda.
I wonder how long till the post gets removed.
Edit: would it be immoral for me to mass bot the thread with AI powered pro fediverse propaganda?

Some comments are suspiciously skeptical. If they were this skeptical before joining then they never would've joined Reddit lol. Someone just tried to tell me that the report button on Lemmy doesn't do anything.
And people talking about bots too lol Reddit will literally repost a 1 year old post with identical title and copy-paste the top 100 comments from the original too, talk about bots! And they aren't labeled as bots! At least bots here are labeled and you can hide them all instantly.
And then they ask for extreme details on how everything works and try to become a master at it before even signing up. Is that how they signed up for Reddit and Discord? I doubt it.
No way these people were that closed-minded and stubborn when they were signing up for Reddit.
People are scared of new things and grow complacent once they find their place in a community or on an app, in this case. It's the same reason people will argue to death about needing Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, whatever, and not leave any of them

they got me with the propoganda forsure, it seemed complicated was actually super simple, every comment will act like its so hard to swap over or signup when once you do look it up you immediately see why its better at its core
I never played WoW or anything like that, but aren't there several WoW servers and you have to decide which one to be on when you start the game? People managed that.
Yep, and it's not even fully federated. Different servers have also quite a bit different focus.
I will steal from now on WoW comparison when talking about the fediverse!
explaining the fediverse would be you join different servers but can still play together?
I still prefer the email analogy with explaining how it works. The WoW analogy is for the people who say "That's too complicated for the unwashed masses to understand." People have been signing up for World of Warcraft going on three decades now, I think they'll figure out lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works.
Aside from what Blaze mentioned, that's also not really the kind of publicity that we want. Better to just respond to individual users and encourage them to try Lemmy out.

You can try, but you'll probably get flagged

Let's fucking go, this is great to see! Remember to be nice to the new users if you see them around.
Would if I could but I deleted my account and Reddit has been blocking my connection for months anyway.
old.reddit.com always works for me, even for posts or communities which they force you to log in and/or use the app to view.
