If you're still on Earth...

I don't want to be part of a problem. I want to be the whole problem
Apparently if you want to do that you have to buy Twitter
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.
Don't we still have a few years before lemmy somehow enshittifies?
It's impossible by design. If an instance enshittifies people will just leave the instance.
The fact that this is being upvoted so much I think demonstrates a big misunderstanding of how the fediverse works.
Nobody owns Lemmy and if a instance does something shitty it costs hardly anything to change instances. Nobody owns the lemmy software, and other softwares like mbin/piefed exist too with the same content.
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.
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.
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.
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
Wait, what's wrong with Lemmy?
If you know you know
I mean, I presume... I don't know, so I don't know
It insists upon itself. /s
Lmao well I found this place cause they won’t let me on Reddit anymore. They didn’t appreciate my colourful thoughts on Musk.
Honestly you could get banned for upvoting someone who stated someone seemed agitated and should try following dear leaders advice and take a shot of ivermecrin, a shot of bleach, and take a nap.
Watching reddits fall over the span of 12 years was certainly a thing.
If you're still
If you're
If
.
Reddit is like CNN, which is Fox-lite, while xitter is ( oan and newsmax)
inb4 a bunch of ~~junkies~~ redditors justify their ~~addiction~~ continuing usage because [reason]
Neither of these are true lol. Someone has to tell the right wingers they deserve the death penalty for treason.
Keeping away from X is more of a health thing honestly,
I know at least for me, it leaves me worse off reading through posts on there even if I've tried to fight them
I'm doing my part!
