There are many communities still on reddit for which there are no alternatives on lemmy as of yet and if you want it to surpass reddit you need to stop with the toxic attitude and the false sense of superiority especially since a lot of the content on this platform is just reposts from 4chan, x, reddit. If curious folk come here and all they see is toxic threads and reposts why would they stay here? This is mostly in response to the comments I've seen on here not the thread itself.

You left Reddit because you wanted to tell a message

I left because I was banned site wide cause of an unpopular opinion in a gaming subreddit

We are not the same

[-] AbraKadabra1993@reddthat.com 26 points 4 days ago

Its true. I have friends still using it and they can't seem to break free. I used Reddit since its inception, but left it immediately during the api-pocolypse and never looked back. I did the same with Proton when the CEO praised the GOP. I have no loyalties to tech companies.

[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago

I will die on this hill - the Proton CEO was right when he praised GOP in the context of the time, and situation.

The situation was: GOP accidentally* going against Big Tech and pro-citizens, while Democrats were defending Big Tech (just to be in opposition-by-default to GOP). Specifically, the CEO's tweet was about how Trump nominating a fairly loudly outspoken anti-Big Tech person to a very high position in the DOJ was a good thing.

The time was: just before Trump 2 took office and showed what a shit-show his admin, and GOP have become.

The guy was ONLY talking about Big Tech and anti-trust policies nothing else. He never said "GOP is good for the US" or "GOP is good for the world", he said "GOP are doing a bunch of anti-trust and anti-Big Tech moves right now and it's good".

People dropping Proton for this reason are the epitome of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

* it was because Trump was throwing a hissy fit at Meta and Twitter for allowing people to express anti-Trump opinions.

The problem with this, is if he was paying attention AT ALL, it'd be clear that the republican stance "against big tech" was always a lie. The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.

Nobody ever suggested otherwise. I specifically mentioned that myself.

The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.

He didn't "buy" anything. He didn't become a Republican, WTF are you people talking about? He literally said, that at the time GOP was more anti-Big Tech and pro-consumer than the Democrats and that a specific appointment was a good choice.

Since when does stating facts mean you're "buying someone's BS"?

Wait, what's wrong with Lemmy?

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

If you know you know

I mean, I presume... I don't know, so I don't know

Reddit has become practically unusable. Mods censor EVERYTHING even if it doesn't "break the rules" it's worthless trying to have honest discussions.

[-] supro47@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago

I once said on /r/nintendo in the context of Nintendo increasing the price of games that even if you enjoy their products, there’s no excuse to defend their anti consumer practices and that there was way too much “corporate boot licking” among Nintendo fans. It wasn’t a statement directed at anyone specifically, but I got a temporary ban for “derogatory name calling.”

Like…I fully understand it’s going to be a sub of Nintendo fans, and I also consider myself a fan of a lot of their games, but if you aren’t allowed to be critical…then banning me for that post kinda proved my point, lol.

If you're still on Earth...

[-] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don't really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going "Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!" and anime fans going "Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!" on Bluesky.

Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 5% memes about politics, 5% memes about Lemmy being better than Reddit, and 10% Linux.

Just deleted my reddit and joined Lemmy. Do I have to quit already?

I ditched Reddit because the writing's on the wall for them becoming a complete hellscape with their ramping up of censorship recently, and I jumped ship before that Titanic of a platform sinks.
