Fuck reddit and fuck spez
Welcome, there hasn't been a better time than now in a while.
Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit's CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.
So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.
Yep it's already nosedived so much it's way past the point of no return.
Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.
It definitely does.
I even have the old.reddit res clone on pc.
Just deleted my account as well.
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!
welcome, we have linux and communism.
Fuck Windows and especially fuck MacOS
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.
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.
I got tired of how mean the comments became...
Eternal September
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.
They're paywalling Reddit?
I think they're paywalling some nsfw subreddits.
Great idea, so many sites flourish when they limit access to NSFW stuff
Jesus, it's gotten even worse since I left. Fuck Reddit.
If they ban your account do they delete your posts ?
They don't.
How do I know? I got banned for arguing with a pedo apologist and telling him to go fuck himself. He replied to a comment and then blocked me so that it would seem like I was droppping off of the convo. I edited my last reply to call him out, and bam. Reddit perma-bans me for 'continuing to harass a user who had already blocked you'.
The only way to get rid of your posts and comments so that reddit doesn't benefit from them is to delete your account.
With the ban in place can you choose to delete your account ?
Yup. The ban just prohibits you from engaging with communities. Like, you can't post, comment, or upvote. You still have access to your account and feed. So, you can choose to delete it. And I think you should be able to delete individual posts/comments too, though I didn't try that myself since I decided to just nuke my account.
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.
Got banned for saying a member of the Taliban should be killed and not on a merry go round.
welcome! it is better here
I left reddit a few months ago. I wish I never gave reddit a minute of my time.
I started getting exhausted by all the political posts, I cringed every time I saw them
Welcome to the fediverse.
Glad I left Reddit I got banned for asking someone if they were threatening someone else.
resistance is futile
welcome!
