Got perma-banned from a 15 year old account for joking about Elon Musk needing to get Luigi-ed. Fuck that place. Never going back.
Everyone please put your narwhals and your bacon in the trash, this is jeans and beans country
(But you can put bacon in the beans, and on everything else, and by itself … no sense wasting bacon)
Can we put narwhals in our jeans?
Idk my dude that might be some animal cruelty shit but if you manage I want a picture.
Can confirm, have made the move. It was only a matter of time before that place went down the fascist watch list.
Facebook, gone. Amazon, gone. Reddit, gone.
Gotta get rid of my Google account next.
Good luck. Assuming you have a smart phone, it's either Apple or Android. But I get the feeling that you are not an apple simp, and most Android devices require Google to even set up.
Some right wing troll said something akin to "so much for the tolerant left." I replied "I don't give two shits about your opinion dude. I'll see you in the streets during the revolution.".
That was my third account banned. I figured that shit was pretty innocuous. 😂 This was a few weeks back.
Fuck reddit. It's probably for the best. They're talking about paid subs coming next year or whatever. I hope reddit burns to the ground.
Do you guys hate nazi oligarchs here?
I can't speak for everyone here obviously, but absolutely!
Yep all three of my accounts got banned from Reddit yesterday for no good reason. Everyone should seriously leave that trash heap asap
I just came because of the bullshit.
Hey I don't kink shame
I can hear aurthur’s voice while reading your username.
I've seen that sort of shit and have now left Reddit and come over too
GG Allin! I saw a doco on him a few years back called Hated.
Whole shit was that insane. When he jumped into the crowd and started smearing them with poo. He just didn't give a fuck.
Hi. I made it.
Just deleted my 13-year-old account. I'm fucking pissed how much effort I put into that fucking place. The hardest thing was overwriting my content so they don't grt to keep my work. It's done, fuck that place.
Just made my account. Reddit can no longer be a trustworthy site since Spez keeps shitting all over the site with dumb ass rules.
Welcome OP and everyone!
Thanks! Hope this place is better--tired of astroturfing, bad faith arguments, mods who don't care...
I got banned for suggesting that maybe all the conservatives young men (the “alpha male types”) should be sent to an island where they can fight in an artificial, made up war against each other and then when they return home they’ll be progressives.
LOL. I was just making a point that people who call for wars are often the ones who have never fought in one. Oh well. Getting banned from Reddit is probably for the best, I should be supporting Canadian services anyway.
Good idea. We can dedicate a small island where all 'Alpha males' fight against each other every year. The winner is the true Alpha
You could get at least 56 manga chapters out of this concept
Be the change you want to see in the world. I’ve been on here since the api controversy. I’m done with Reddit for good now, after about 15 years. So now I’m going to try to drive activity on all the niche communities I want to see here.
I also did not like the api changes. But I was at least able to understand why they did that. But the shit that is going on now is enough
I also left for good after 'API-gate', after more than ten years.. It actually hurt to see how something that had been such a big part of my life for so long got worse and worse, like a family member becoming radicalized or something.
I switched over and am permanently deleting my accounts. Be sure to do that, and don't just stop using it. They'll really only start to feel it when a bunch of 10+ year accounts start deleting, since they can't waive it away as "consumer fickleness" that will swing back around
i just deleted my 9+ year old account.
Welcome to the fediverse, and retrolemmy! If you have any questions there are loads of "new to Lemmy" communities like !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca. Users are usually pretty helpful to reddit refugees, since most uf us are refugees ourselves.
If you have any questions or recommendations for retrolemmy itself there is !general@retrolemmy.com , or you can message me privately.
I got perma banned for saying I hoped Marjorie Taylor green trips and swallows her own head.
Hilarious - literally and the fact that would trigger a permaban.
I appealed it too- they said after human review, I was inciting violence.
I got my perma ban from saying "only a matter of time before Elon gets united healthcare'd" was on there since 2006.
What if Marjorie Taylor Green already tripped and swallowed her head?
Her being inside-out would explain a lot.

I've been here since reddit backstabbed its 3rd party app devs, and even just since then, Lemmy has grown a LOT while reddit continues to enshittify.
Welcome aboard!
I feel like today is my first day but I made a serious attempt to move here when that happened. I just couldn't get the apps to work on my android -- I kept having to make new accounts when the one I'd set up would suddenly no longer log in.
But today things seem to be working beautifully!
I'm using Connect on Android. It's worth a whirl!
There are quite a few mobile apps to choose from now. I'm using Sync with no complaints, but I haven't done a comparison since I joined.
My main complaint with sync is that the premium version is just too damn expensive. At least give me a discount since I bought premium for Reddit sync ! Then again, it usually fails to serve me the ads these days, so I guess it's alright.
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 got banned for harassing a mod

Here is how that works; a subreddit mod bans you, preemptively or otherwise. The mod-list for the sub is now permanently hidden from you. Subreddit mod(s) spam posts to their subreddit. You report post(s) you genuinely think are violating the rules over the course of a few months. Without realizing you are reporting one of the mods. A few more months go by. Reddit finally reviews your reports. The admin assumes you are harassing the mods of that sub. Receive escalating suspensions until banned.
Subs pushing Far-right, Russian and Islamic propaganda use it pretty effectively to silence anyone speaking out against their racist bullshit.
use it pretty effectively to silence anyone speaking out against their racist bullshit.
That checks out
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.
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?
The point is that because there is no vote tally you just have to assume everyone is a normal person, there is no scarlet letter on your account by having -2500 votes, you, the readers have to put in the effort to judge someone (or determine if they are a bot). Except for your accounts home instance, there is no badge that says someone posts to hexbear or someplace that is a bit off.
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!

Welcome. It's better here and with more it will grow. Thinking about hosting even. Why not.
I'm starting to feel left out that I never got banned. Still not going back though
Welcome my son. You may proceed unto the Fediverse with Saint Luigi's blessing.
I have to say, that is one hilariously fantastic way to wish ill on a group of people.
Welcome to Lemmy!

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.
