That's more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
Same. Just created my account
I think we chose well.
Welcome fellow former redditor!
I've been here for about a month, switching bettween this and Reddit, while still mostly using Reddit. This made me leave Reddit completely. This and getting banned for 3 days for upvoting a comment was the final straw.
Similar final straw for me.
I had wrote an anti putin thing under a post of Selenskyj where he stated putin will soon die, I confirmed that I hope so too and got like 400 upvotes and a hour or two later got deleted and a 3 day ban.
Since democracy is literally built on murdering fascists and monarchs (or just authoritarians in generel), it seems pretty wild to me that it's seen as a radical belief that they should die. If we're forced to tolerate leaders whose claim to power is based on supressing and murdering dissidents in an effort to quash democratic thought, what in the actual fuck are we supposed to do to?
In over 2 decades of internet, i can safely say banning users for upvoting things is the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen a discussion board do. Just remove upvotes at this point and have the feed curated by Lord Muskrat.
Unlike others, i didn't get banned from Reddit, i just wanted to get a head-start learning this site, because Reddit is on the way to become X2.
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
I'm brand new as well and hopeful but wow the smaller forums here need some love. The topic variety is small to the point where maybe straight up bot cloning subreddits here where posts on Reddit just get reposted to their Lemmy equivalent to kick start refugees feeling at home. Plus if there's basically cross platform discussion posts it gives ground for users of existing subreddits to migrate.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Think of it of getting in at the ground floor, where we'll create topics and in-jokes that will be repeated ad nauseum for decades!
🔝⬆️THIS⬆️🔝 To the top with you!
Somebody gild this!
I tip my ~~fedora~~ hat to you kind gentlesir! Updoots to the left!
Beans!
Oh my god the flood of beans and denim jeans content was ridiculous, I used Lemmy less for a while.
Bean betrayal. Mo' beans, mo' better.
But to be honest, I didn't really like the denim.
I have yet to come across a repost community here that actually gets any comments on the posts. I wound up unsubscribing from all of them because they just clog up my feed.
I definitely have wanted to but wasn’t sure if I should since no one else had. I should have just done it.
Yeah that's likely what everyone else thinks too. Someone has to start the discussion 😆
I got here because they killed Apollo 🫶🏻 never forget
I use Voyager now for lemmy
Welcome, fellow ex redditor.
Thanks :)
same!
Welcome for both of us! :)
Welcome to the party!
Welcome friend!!
Yep, Reddit pushed me this way too, but I'm much happier. Welcome!
Welcome here!
