      I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.

        How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.

    That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.

      I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.

          I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.

          When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.

    I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.

    I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell” - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.

    Shadow banned for making a very popular post about how to make DIY Luigi Mangione prayer candles using dollar tree candles, printer and a glue stick on witches vs patriarchy

      I just left after twenty years. I warned them about overly censoring in their research calls but I guess they didn’t want to listen

      It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.

      Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.

        when it was good, it was real good. Every subject I could want in one place, and I could organize it as I wish.

        Lemmy is a confusing mess and lacking in basic features compared to reddit (although there’s probably front ends I could download that would fix my complaints).

        Obviously, I’m here, so the inconvenience is an acceptable price for not being on reddit anymore.

          I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.

            eventually, imma have to actually look into lemmy front ends or clients. I stand by the statement that I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll prolly have a better time of things if I did.

          It’s hard for the subreddits that barely have any traction as is. But it’s entirely feasible for most of them. Is there a way on lemmy to have small communities new post always come up on the top of your feed?

            First of all this isnt reddit so its not subreddits. We are communities here

            And second: feed sorters exist

              It’s hard enough getting acclimated here and then someone comes along and asks an innocent question or looks for more information and it’s all “fIrST oF AlL ThIs IsN’t ReDdIt” like no shit, shut the fuck up and stop being the problem with this site that makes people leave.
