Been here since the initial API exodus. It's been pretty good so far. I hope you like it as much as I do. Welcome!
Yup same somebody tell him about the 3 day no poop challenge
Something something I pooped on a narwhal.
Leave the narwhals behind. Here, we've got beans made of denim, aka "Jeans" for short.
And don't worry about commenting your opinion here, people here are generally willing to listen if you provide supporting information to your viewpoints
Also Trekkies everywhere.

Speaking my language.
Only Lemmy sucks itself off this hard all the time
These replies prove it: nobody performs autofellatio quite like someone who recently discovered that social media platforms other than Twitter/Facebook/Reddit exist. The users of this platform are largely identical to the users of reddit. The biggest difference is that I'm told to kill myself far more often here
Eeh, I remember a similar energy on reddit back when Digg had its meltdown.
Most groups suck themselves off about how awesome they are compared to alternate groups in the same genre. Hardstyle vs Progressive trance. BJJ vs Wrestling. Ford vs Holden cars. etc.\
I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don't even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they've lost their way and I refuse to participate.
Welcome to the fediverse.
Glad I left Reddit I got banned for asking someone if they were threatening someone else.
Free Luigi.
Fuck reddit.
Fuck spez.
One of my first issues was when I would say fuck u/spez
I admit, I said it a lot.
I got out recently too, albeit before actually getting ban-hammered. Given how new I am, it's not really my place, but..: Welcome!
Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.
I lost about seven 12-year-old accounts all for telling off one piece of shit incel, quoting his slur so he couldn't edit, and reporting him. Mods banned me from a major subreddit for "using a slur" and didn't listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel and just quoted him so he couldn't change his comment. Mods acted like pubescent morons and called me names for politely asking for a review of the incident, I changed account to keep talking to people I knew there, got perma-banned for ban-evasion, they sniffed out my other accounts then and banned those too, then I made new accounts but got permanently shadowbanned for criticizing conservatives and reddit mods, made new accounts, those accounts also are now shadowbanned for who-knows-why.
But whatever their excuses are, the reality is clear. They don't want human users, this is why "shadowbans" are a thing, they want humans to feel like they're interacting, but in reality they want a billion bots talking to each other and simulating narratives and conversations so they can twist a few dials and change public opinion on whatever they want.
They're already doing it, it works. A large percentage of users there are already very convincing AI's.
They aren't hiding this, they announced that they would be letting AI's "use" reddit to train and learn. They never specified to what end or how many.
Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.
Fuck reddit and fuck spez
Yeah man. It’s trash there now a days. Welcome!
Welcome, sincerely happy to have you. Now go post your favorite interests.
Jesus, it's gotten even worse since I left. Fuck Reddit.
I left reddit a few months ago. I wish I never gave reddit a minute of my time.
Welcome.
I've been here since November. Loving it.
Your comments actually get responses on this platform. Whereas 90% of your Reddit comments will never be seen, much less interacted with.
The downfall of Reddit is well underway.
Elon started to repressure reddit again on criticism against him just recently
It honestly feels like the transition from Digg to Reddit way back when. If you're on iPhone, I am using Voyager and have been happy with it.
Similiar thing happened to me. Elon has bitch tits.
Yeah I deleted my 13 year old account in 2024 and honestly, good riddance.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy the fediverse!
Reddit is the new digg. Its taking longer but the result will be the same. When the real mass exodus occurs we will pick up all the toxins currently in their bubble over there.
welcome! it is better here
Welcome. There's a lot less fuckery and it's a lot quieter.

Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.
Will add more rules as needed.
If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.
