Reddit is trash. I got banned for hating on Nazis, they will bend to Trump, cut off porn and throw the ban hammer down. Reddit is only good for finding tech answers from the past. Everything else is trash.

Be careful with that. I went back in time and edited my posts to contain small errors to make them useless wastes of time for the reader and poison AI.
Yeah and we hate you for it.
That just seems malicious to anyone who might find your answer and get increasingly frustrated by your incorrect advice.
That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.
They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.
No, it's not your problem, it's the rest of ours (thanks for that), but it is your fault.
yeah I left reddit completely and moved to lemmy. but search results still show reddit threads sometimes. so that particular thing is malicious to everyone and has very little to do with reddit.
its just shitty. a much better way to do it would be to edit the comment with an addendum to say how crap reddit is and there are alternatives with a link.
don't punish normal people who are desperate to find a solution to something.
Leaving your comments up contributes value to Reddit. Value you provided them before they fucked you. If you take them down, people will just have to find that information elsewhere. It sucks that they're no longer available for the public, but that's on Reddit, not the user who removed their comments.
You can repost all your valuable comments and solutions here and drive traffic to Lemmy instead.
Yeah, Reddit benefits from the traffic regardless of the accuracy of the posts, so this is mostly wasting the time of regular people with issues who are trying to search for an answer.
Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.
Though some subs I've been banned from over there the reasons were as simple as "criticizing China and/or Russia" or "participating in a specific other sub"
The subs I hang around in are currently the same to right wingers (downvoted to oblivion) but that's partly because attempting to participate in a lot of lefty subs over there you get banned for talking about China in a negative way. The other subs aren't political so those ones aren't too bad.
Nice, but the only comment I see about Lemmy, is someone who can't comprehend that the domain "lemmy.world" exists and not "lemmy.com", because "that's what an internet address is to the average user".
God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won't give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. "This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad" instead of understanding that maybe there's a reason it's built that way.
lemmy.com does appear to work though (redirects to lemm.ee, not sure who hosts it)
While it's excellent that Lemmy is getting some attention out on the capitalist web, I'm not sure I'm personally interested in hearing about what is trending on Reddit in the Fediverse community - for me, Fedibridge seems like a great community specifically for that. But I might be a minority, not trying to be negativistic! :)
