Inception bitch!
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
Ooh, what opinion?
It was an opinion specifically selected from fresh produce and ingredients made with passion and dedication.
I have served it to Star Citizen players and they started to behave very unfriendly towards me. I had to run for my dear life.When I tried to come back I was met with hammers and pitchforks so I decided to take my cuisine elsewhere.
Unfortunately not everybody likes my cooking but… I have found plenty of enjoyers of my food on the web.
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.
Lemmy’s biggest problem is how aggressive and uncompromising the people can be.
Really? I’ve seen Lemmings are much more competent, way higher debate ability, far less disinformation. Also I’ve seen this 10x so far in a month: “sorry, you’re right”. Almost never saw that on Reddit. And I’ve had to say it many times too.
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.
I don’t want to be part of a problem. I want to be the whole problem
If you’re still on Earth…
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.
Bluesky is refreshing
fuck off
What’s the beef with bluesky?
Ignorant people that hate “the left” don’t like BlueSky cuz … ignorance?
look this one thinks libsky is ‘left’.
So cute.oh shit it’s an edgelord watch out.
LOL “edgelord”
Who TF says that?
Some ukranian reposting kievpost garbage?
Time they end the benefits for you leeches and send you back to ex-ukraine
More left than twitter, inept fool.
“More left than twitter” LOL
What an accomplishment.🤡
Reddit has become practically unusable. Mods censor EVERYTHING even if it doesn’t “break the rules” it’s worthless trying to have honest discussions.
Dude im so tired of bans and creepy tracking that ensures you cant engage on the site… I do enjoy the reddit user friendly platform but im so sick of the overreach from the mods… i have had an account up for a while that just got permanently banned because I accidentally engaged with a sub i forgot had banned my og account… and because of that old account that had an IP ban it was somehow tied to my new account made a whole year later! Even though i use duckduckgo with full protection and cleared all my data… but Im done… its not worth the headache…and trying to use lemmy world now feels better. Still getting used to it here

I fucking hate Reddit.
Their threshold for “calls to violence” is ridiculous. Got a ban for commenting I’d slap someone just like the person who got pranked slapped the person who jump scared them.
My ban was for saying there should be mass protests outside the building in which that American judge was held and that these protests should prevent anyone from entering or leaving until that judge is released. Apparently, that’s “violence”, even though it’s self-defence against the violence of a fascist state.
My ban. A bloke purposely ran over a 12 year old boy that was riding his bike. Seems a group of youths had verbally hassled this bloke so this was his reaction. Thankfully it was caught on film. This happened about 50 miles from me here in Australia.
Well anyway my comment was that if he had run over one of my two boys he might have ended up in hospital, there might be broken bones and I might end up in prison. I mean it was an angry knee jerk reaction to a horrible situation.
Well I got a site wide ban for threatening violence. I didn’t actually threaten anybody. No warning, no temp ban, not just banned from that one sub. Appealed but it fell in deaf ears.
Luigi
Luigi is a hero and I don’t care if anyone thinks otherwise.
Luigi is a bright, shinning example of what happens when the powers that be stop listening to the complaints and needs of the peasantry.
You’d think they’d have learned that the last several dozen times lords got too high and mighty and triggered a violent revolt/uprising… but alas…
Luigi is also, in all probability, innocent.
Which means the Claims Adjuster is still at large.
If you’re still on Lemmy…
…you’re supporting the solution!
I do not see how Lemmy helps with anything other than allowing people another excuse for escapism and scrolling on the internet over actually developing life skills, seeing new sights, socializing with humans, getting better at understanding people, and actually making an effort to communicate with others, doing some small part to make the world better.
I think the ‘problem’ the meme is referencing is supporting centralized social media run by corporations. I think the ‘problem’ you are talking about is more along the lines of tech addiction. Something can fix one problem without fixing every problem.
