They did not provide a reason. There was no further dialog. I just got a system message telling me I was removed.

I was also silmultaniously shadow banned from Reddit and my posts and comments stopped showing up. I had created a post complaining about being removed as the moderator (the only moderator for over a decade) of a sub that I built from the ground up and donated literally thousands of volunteer hour to over the last 14 years. It had zero upvotes or downvotes or comments and was not visable as an anon user.

In the end, I decided to rip the bandaid off and killed my 16.5 year account. I was one of the early supporters of Reddit (user #7758) and had left Digg for good in May of 2007 after the AAC contraversy. They showed their authoritarian side in that moment and I knew Digg had reached their high water mark.

Reddit is at that moment now. They won't be dead tomorrow. They won't be dead next week. However, it will also never be the same, and it's only downhill from here.

Much like Digg. Much like Myspace. I am sure there will be a blurb a few years from now as an addendum in some business journal how Reddit sold to a third party for an undisclosed sum and some Skittles...

The future is the Fediverse and I'm glad I was forced to remove my Reddit crutch and dive in full force.

There does not seem to be a celebrities magazine here yet. You could make one and become a mod of it.

How do you make your own magazine

[-] babelspace@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Click the plus icon to the left of your username at the top right corner of the screen . Last option on the drop-down menu is “create new magazine”.

[-] vyvanse@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

I think the fact it's called a magazine here is perfect for this

[-] Hedup@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

They def need to make it on kbin if they do.

[-] vaprz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

That sounds like a very good idea. The work must carry on!

[-] nevernevermore@kbin.social 21 points 2 years ago

I don't know if you need to hear this or not; but you also don't have to donate your time to anything for free anymore. Nobody would blame you for throwing in the towel (if you feel you need to, that is)

Where can I find out what a magazine is on here? New to Lemmy. Is that like a subreddit?

[-] MrsEaves@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

It is! Magazines are a feature in kbin, and Lemmy calls this sort of thing a Community. You’re seeing the kbin terminology here because this thread started on kbin.social. If you pay attention to URLs, that’s also why it’s /c/subredditname on Lemmy and /m/subredditname on kbin.

The other major difference with kbin magazines is that you can configure them to pick up content from Mastodon using a hashtag, and it will show it in threaded format in a separate area of the magazine that’s easy to get to. It’s great for news, giving people an outlet for self-promotion without cluttering discussion, or helping get a magazine started if the topic is popular.

magazine = community = subreddit

Magazine is the term used for kbin.social users like @Gamers_Mate@kbin.social who is a Kbin user. In Lemmy they are called communities.

You can do a search on your local instance like:

https://lemmy.world/communities

or use a community browser like:

https://browse.feddit.de/

[-] iNeedScissors67@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's the kbin equivalent. On Lemmy you have Communities.

[-] NotSteve_@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

yep! Exactly like a subreddit

[-] Hanabie@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

There is, actually.
