Welcome to Lemmy, be sure to build your own subscription and block list. The updoots dont tally on your account (which I think is one of the healthiest changes), speak your mind, each comment stands on its own, and bad takes are not forever (Ive had my own fair share). If you dont like your mods, change instances or make your own.

A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.
There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.
It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

MODERATORS
Bad takes are forever here. It's something I hate. Sometimes I'll comment on something and then end up deleting it because I just don't wanna get into it but it only deletes on your instance. I'll still get replies from everyone who can still see it.
Also is it still stupidly complicated to delete pics here?
It does delete and propagate to other instances, but the process is not immediate. There can be some delay. I’ve had replies to deleted comments coming hours later if my instance was running behind.
Am I completely out of touch?
You're federated when you post here. There are definitely instances that are a bunch of nazis, a bunch of instances that are really dumb, and more. It's the internet. Everything you post is there forever. I like my instance, because it's the best I've found. Finding and identifying your home instance is more important than blocking users and communities. That will be the next step. Welcome human!
I’ll still get replies from everyone who can still see it.
That might be an instance thing, sometimes instances are slow to update other instances, see my other comment for example.

Yeah, I've gone through and did a bunch of subscribing and a little bit of blocking a handful of instances I know will flood my feed with stuff I find creepy. I actually spent a couple days deciding on the right instance to join. I'm looking forward to more people showing up, and it's nice that everyone I've interacted with so far has been pretty chill.
Welcome! I'm full of shamefully bad takes I've not even uncovered yet, but I'll continue to do what it takes to proffer then without bias or foreknowledge of their shitty values. 😅 Let's be human together, fellow citizen. 🙃

Welcome. It's better here and with more it will grow. Thinking about hosting even. Why not.
I got banned for harassing a mod
I still have no idea what they were talking about
I was on reddit for over 10 years
If we ever get our hands on the data, I think it's probably a safe hypothesis that most of the banned users are anti-trump.
Gotta make reddit a safe space to support his reign or emperor Donny will have a temper tantrum and Spez is easily frightened into submission

I'm starting to feel left out that I never got banned. Still not going back though
I don't think I nuked my account when I left... I kinda want to log in & see if I got banned yet for stuff posted/up voted over a year ago.
Welcome my son. You may proceed unto the Fediverse with Saint Luigi's blessing.
We are small, but Lemmy is something that no business can take away. I have faith. Been here for a while and happy to see new faces.
I have to say, that is one hilariously fantastic way to wish ill on a group of people.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Ive seen the same thing reported on Lemmy.
Moderators need to be careful to not fall into the same trap.
Some home countries that host many of the instances on lemmy have pretty rigid rules for what constitutes promoting violence. Many of the mods/admins are just doing what they can to ensure the lights stay on by removing posts/comments that violate these rules.
Would be nice with a list of that somewhere so users can choose what kind of moderation culture/country laws fits their own personality.
Some users definently wants to be protected from content they dont like, but some feel equally strongly they they can handle it without a internet daddy.
Its a bit like how rich people use swiss banks to get to keep their money, since they dont agree that the country they are born in should take a large cut of their profits.

Well, an unpaid job that involves exercising power over others is always going to attract insufferable, self-important people. It's why I say they're the same people who run HOAs. Just petty little power trippers. I mean, if it ever gets bad, one can always start one's own instance, make competing subs, and make them off limits to the offending mods. Odds are good they'd be driving the members away as it is.
GG Allin possession is a great note to leave on, congrats!
I just wanted something different so I came here. Also trying to fedi my fun and leave old services that have been enshittified.
Welcome! We've got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@lemmy.world and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We have Tankies here too, but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. On .world instance you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them
Hehe, I actually joined my instance in no small part due to it already having taken anti tankie countermeasures. Don't need those people buzzing around like horseflies, I had a tankie father and my patience for that shit is basically zero.
Thanks for the recommends, neighbor!
Ugh. Another goddamn September.
(Big /s. I'm happy people are leaving the pigboy.)
