Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

So, I've now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.

They've linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.

I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.

Base model app is shit.

Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.

Can't even say 'I like that player two energy on super Mario bros', because that's 'violent'.

I've posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.

Got banned for saying 'Elon simps in our midst' referring to mods....who proved my point.

And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.

Adios.

Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.

Rant over lol.

Asked perplexity what the best one was.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

Elon started to repressure reddit again on criticism against him just recently

[–] Apple87sagan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Similiar thing happened to me. Elon has bitch tits.

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

[–] trotfox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Thanks, I don't fully understand how all these realms mix, but I'll figure it out.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I deleted my 13 year old account in 2024 and honestly, good riddance.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the fediverse!

[–] trotfox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yea, good to know I'm in good company!

Also, the fuck is the fediverse.

Fediverse is Stand for Federated Universe,it's like the decentralized social media(mastodon,lemmy, pixelfed,etc) they are use activitypub protocol to connect each other so you can interact with mastodon(or other fediverse social media) user with your lemmy account,in fediverse you can create your own server(instance),While reddit, Twitter, Instagram is centralized social media Controlled by big tech/corporation.

I've never looked back. Welcome

[–] trotfox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Ty. I won't either.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep similar story for me, except this was long ago. I got warned several times for suggesting we should kill and eat rich people. But I kept doing it, and so here I am.

Also a Reddit refugee, but moved over after the API debacle.

After that Reddit decided to ban my 10 year old account, I guess as a final fuck you, but I’m not missing much these days for 98% of what Reddit considers content now.

The other 2% is when I pop in for my super niche hobby subs because Lemmy is too small for those

[–] trotfox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Was just having this conversation.

Reddit is so big, your super weirdo niche hobby still has 1k plus people to talk to about it, lol.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Digg is starting back up again.

http://reboot.digg.com/

But they're doing it with a Reddit executive.

[–] trotfox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I did hear something....

I caught the random diggnation stream that was a cam pointed at a desk for an hour. Guess that was this.

I'll pass. Fuck reddit.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The other major tech news I've heard recently about keeping social media free and for the people, is that BlueSky has just implemented a link tracking system so they can track where users go from their site (they're doing so to sell the information to corporate clients).

This means Mastodon is currently the Federated alternative to the twitter style websites.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No

They already fucked their chance, they're just gonna do the same

Welcome. There's a lot less fuckery and it's a lot quieter.

[–] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

A gift of peace in all good faith

This should be the last migration we have to do, since the open and decentralized model resists enshittification.
