New here as well but I also gave you your 666th upvote. So there’s something.

Fuck reddit and fuck spez

Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.

Welcome. Lemmy is like Reddit but the lemmings are more dogmatic and sensitive.

I lost about seven 12-year-old accounts all for telling off one piece of shit incel, quoting his slur so he couldn't edit, and reporting him. Mods banned me from a major subreddit for "using a slur" and didn't listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel and just quoted him so he couldn't change his comment. Mods acted like pubescent morons and called me names for politely asking for a review of the incident, I changed account to keep talking to people I knew there, got perma-banned for ban-evasion, they sniffed out my other accounts then and banned those too, then I made new accounts but got permanently shadowbanned for criticizing conservatives and reddit mods, made new accounts, those accounts also are now shadowbanned for who-knows-why.

But whatever their excuses are, the reality is clear. They don't want human users, this is why "shadowbans" are a thing, they want humans to feel like they're interacting, but in reality they want a billion bots talking to each other and simulating narratives and conversations so they can twist a few dials and change public opinion on whatever they want.

They're already doing it, it works. A large percentage of users there are already very convincing AI's.

They aren't hiding this, they announced that they would be letting AI's "use" reddit to train and learn. They never specified to what end or how many.

Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.

Welcome.

I've been here since November. Loving it.

Your comments actually get responses on this platform. Whereas 90% of your Reddit comments will never be seen, much less interacted with.

The downfall of Reddit is well underway.

Jesus, it's gotten even worse since I left. Fuck Reddit.

You forgot fuck spez

I left reddit a few months ago. I wish I never gave reddit a minute of my time.

I got tired of how mean the comments became...

Elon started to repressure reddit again on criticism against him just recently

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.

It honestly feels like the transition from Digg to Reddit way back when. If you're on iPhone, I am using Voyager and have been happy with it.

Just deleted my account as well.

welcome! it is better here

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

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.

resistance is futile

welcome!

Welcome to the fediverse!
