Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

So, I've now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.

They've linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.

I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.

Base model app is shit.

Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.

Can't even say 'I like that player two energy on super Mario bros', because that's 'violent'.

I've posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.

Got banned for saying 'Elon simps in our midst' referring to mods....who proved my point.

And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.

Adios.

Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.

Rant over lol.

Fediverse is Stand for Federated Universe,it's like the decentralized social media(mastodon,lemmy, pixelfed,etc) they are use activitypub protocol to connect each other so you can interact with mastodon(or other fediverse social media) user with your lemmy account,in fediverse you can create your own server(instance),While reddit, Twitter, Instagram is centralized social media Controlled by big tech/corporation.

Also, the fuck is the fediverse.

It's what we call the new (ish) nerd Internet.

We "federate", meaning we don't give a shit who owns stuff, so we use "activitypub" to let Lemmy users access posts from other services like PixelFed (new nerd Instagram) and Mastodon (new nerd Twitter) without any additional accounts.

You don't have to worry about it, it just works in the background making more content available to your current Lemmy account.

Digg is starting back up again.

http://reboot.digg.com/

But they're doing it with a Reddit executive.

I did hear something....

I caught the random diggnation stream that was a cam pointed at a desk for an hour. Guess that was this.

I'll pass. Fuck reddit.

The other major tech news I've heard recently about keeping social media free and for the people, is that BlueSky has just implemented a link tracking system so they can track where users go from their site (they're doing so to sell the information to corporate clients).

This means Mastodon is currently the Federated alternative to the twitter style websites.

No

They already fucked their chance, they're just gonna do the same

Welcome. There's a lot less fuckery and it's a lot quieter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

welcome! it is better here

Also a Reddit refugee, but moved over after the API debacle.

After that Reddit decided to ban my 10 year old account, I guess as a final fuck you, but I’m not missing much these days for 98% of what Reddit considers content now.

The other 2% is when I pop in for my super niche hobby subs because Lemmy is too small for those

Reddit is the new digg. Its taking longer but the result will be the same. When the real mass exodus occurs we will pick up all the toxins currently in their bubble over there.

Got banned for saying a member of the Taliban should be killed and not on a merry go round.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Welcome, there hasn't been a better time than now in a while.

Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit's CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.

So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.

Welcome to the fediverse!

This should be the last migration we have to do, since the open and decentralized model resists enshittification.
