spez is a piece of shit
Trying to understand someone I adore who prefers Lemmy. Also, Reddit feels overrun with fake accounts and scammers.
Reddit’s bot detection bot banned me for being a bot. The irony was too much.
I guess that happened because you had your VPN on
Got sick of reddit morons, but increasingly they are moving over.
Reddit killed third party apps
Yup. I still miss my rif app. It just felt like such a bad decision. Especially limiting NSFW. I needed to try something else.
It wasn’t just that. I used the first party app so the API changes didn’t affect me. It was how bad they handled the whole situation that made me lose faith that reddit was going in a good direction. That thread “addressing” the changes and concerns was brutal.
Because reddit shut its api access off and “rif is fun for reddit” stopped working, duh.
reddit isn’t fun
Was thinking of trying something like Reddit. And I never imagined I would like a platform this much… And I’m also glad that I came to Lemmy instead of using Reddit
apicalypse, rip apollo
Never seen the term apicalypse and just had to say it’s fantastic.
That was my fediverse cohort too.
Same. I could only reddit through Boost.
Typing this from Boost for Lemmy :)
First set of accounts on reddit perma banned for discussing jiujitsu technique - inciting violence.
Second set of accounts on reddit perma banned for recommending a lady with a stalker problem use her American freedom and get a gun for home defense - You know what you did type response.I was already on Lemmy when my subs shut down to protest the API blackout.
Graduating from “leftist” Reddit, I’m afraid.
Gonna glaze the 'grad specifically - on the whole it’s done wonders for my revolutionary optimism and mental health, which in turn has lead to me actually doing some organizing irl.
Finding places full of people who actually know their shit and aren’t swept up into the lies of neoliberalism and capitalism is a major step up from feeling utterly alone and helpless in the imperial core surrounded by people who at times feel utterly alien and unreachable.
Basically just using this space to say thanks for existing, as well as thanks to such incredibly consistent and well-informed posters like yogthos, cfgaussian, cowbee, rainpizza and others for their constant analysis and discussions that have definitely patched up a lot of holes in my own understandings of leftist history and thought.
Thanks for the kind words, comrade! Glad you’re here! 🫡
because centralized social media eventually leads to ads/monetization etc. your content becomes for profit
Reddit ban for a R1 violation.
Apparently if you say punching a nazi is a form of self-defense they’ll say you’re inciting violence.
Apollo stopped working. 😢
Yep. Same.
Because fuck spez™ and reddit is so large it’s hard to find community
