Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

What are we going to do about it?
Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Reddit is shadow banning people in droves for bad upvotes
This is why I’m making more effort to move to Lemmy permanently. The thing is that they’re also refusing to say what exactly will get you banned, and that they can and probably will change the criteria pretty much when they feel like it. This is the kind of shit abusive partners do. They cannot expect anyone to be able to follow a rule that they refuse to define. Personally, I don’t think that’s an accident. It feels more like they’re laying the groundwork to be able to censor whoever they like, most likely at the behest of the current US administration.
Yeah they are shit now. What can we do to move them over to Lemmy?
I only heard about lemmy a few weeks ago I bet there's more like me. I think it's just a question of promoting it
Cool how was the switch for you? Do you like or miss something in particular?
I love it! Reddit has slowly been going to shit for years, so many posters are nasty and there's so much hysteria. There's ads and political manipulation everywhere. I miss some of the subs, and would prefer a bit more activity but at the same time posts are far higher quality. Overall I'm really really happy and it's been smooth and welcoming
Nice to hear! Yeah activity is still way lower than on Reddit but it's slowly increasing. :)
100% and the good thing is they seem to be really nice people joining
Lemmy is just reddit under different management.
Lemmy is decentralized. So very different.
Ita lot of reddit under different management. It looks and feels like reddit not like a forum.
There is no central management on Lemmy. Every instance is managed by someone else. Nobody can decide something for all of Lemmy.
Reddit with different management.
Obvious b8.
I mean sure, do not use the two eyes you have and take a look at lemmy ux vs reddit and vs a forum. lemmy is literally the reddit we have at home. The fact its tons of different reddits we have at home connected is the only difference. Not even bait, this is what everyone normal sees.
What are you talking about?
This is clearly a Digg.
Lemmy is a lot of different Reddits under a lot of different managements.
Lemmy is not a forum.
Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It's just a different medium.
And it's a medium that we need to preserve.
What's a bad upvote?
Anything anti billionaire, to sum it up.
Upvoting what they deem as bad or violent content.
I am one of those people and I wonder. Is it because I upvoted a news article about war or a nazi getting punched?
How do you find out about it? Try to view the threads while logged out and not seeing your comments, I suppose?
