See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.
Permabans with no way to appeal are ridiculous.
And then to add that if you create a new account to get around a subreddit ban then that makes you eligible for a sitewide ban is even more ridiculous.
I got permabanned from r/pics a while back because under a generic Facebook photo of an interracial couple at their wedding somebody asked why it was posted there and I responded “Reddit loves interracial couples”. That was it. The irony is that my marriage is interracial.
Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.
I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.
So far, so good. Keep the bigotry and fascists in check and I'll stick around. I tried to make a community (a page for my band) just now and it just loads and loads when I hit submit. Anyone else had that problem? I turned off all my ad blockers. The issue persists.
edit: I was able to make a community today. Check out !jambands if you're into that kind of thing! :)
edit2: 12/13/23 Lemmy has lots of bigots and incels now.
edit3: 2/14/24 Lemmy now seems to have bigot and incels mods running many "front page" communities.
I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.
I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.
Also "a serious Reddit user since the digg incident" and won't be going back. There are some communities I'll miss, but I look forward to rebuilding them here.
Spez really really fucked up on this one. A few tweaks and mobile app with the same no-bullshit styles like narwhal, apollo, and RIF on android and this place wins every time
