Well, I assume a lot more people are gonna be showing up any minute now.

I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.
So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.
And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.
I came here when all the API drama happened, and I didn't even use third party apps, I just decided that I didn't want to help make that greedy little pig boy any money. Even still, I'm actually shocked that they've cracked down this hard. It's hard to take serious, because it seems like they would destroy their userbase with this, but they're doing it.
Welcome to Lemmy, be sure to build your own subscription and block list. The updoots dont tally on your account (which I think is one of the healthiest changes), speak your mind, each comment stands on its own, and bad takes are not forever (Ive had my own fair share). If you dont like your mods, change instances or make your own.
Welcome. It's better here and with more it will grow. Thinking about hosting even. Why not.
I got banned for harassing a mod
I still have no idea what they were talking about
I was on reddit for over 10 years
If we ever get our hands on the data, I think it's probably a safe hypothesis that most of the banned users are anti-trump.
Gotta make reddit a safe space to support his reign or emperor Donny will have a temper tantrum and Spez is easily frightened into submission
I got banned for suggesting that maybe all the conservatives young men (the “alpha male types”) should be sent to an island where they can fight in an artificial, made up war against each other and then when they return home they’ll be progressives.
LOL. I was just making a point that people who call for wars are often the ones who have never fought in one. Oh well. Getting banned from Reddit is probably for the best, I should be supporting Canadian services anyway.
Some right wing troll said something akin to "so much for the tolerant left." I replied "I don't give two shits about your opinion dude. I'll see you in the streets during the revolution.".
That was my third account banned. I figured that shit was pretty innocuous. 😂 This was a few weeks back.
Fuck reddit. It's probably for the best. They're talking about paid subs coming next year or whatever. I hope reddit burns to the ground.
I'm starting to feel left out that I never got banned. Still not going back though
Reddit has loved that asshole forever. We forget that back in 2016 Reddit allowed a huge subreddit full of upvoting bots and trolls to post the most atrocious lies and slander and bullshit (/r/the_d**ald) on the entire site and it got so bad that it was the ONLY SUBREDDIT ON THE FIRST PAGE OF /r/all FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.
They pulled back when they saw their profits declining and the massive backlash going on but now that we're in full fascism mode, reddit is going all out again.
Fuck that place.
There’s definitely a change in the air. I’ve been downvoted to hell for the last week saying and doing the exact same things I’ve been saying and doing the entire time, making jokes at the expense of celebrities and being snarky in political subs. For some reason this week joking about how DJ Khalid doesn’t go down on women and offering non-destructive pro-tips for deflating tires is worth a bunch of downvotes.
I bet all of the right wing subs aren't effected at all
I came over to Lemmy a few days ago. I had still been using Boost for Reddit. Somehow my app was still working, but I finally got shut off a few days ago. I can't handle the promoted posts on the reddit app. I'm at peace with advertisements but the promoted posts were too confusing/distracting for me to comfortably browse.
My final straw with Reddit was a year ago, with an r/askreddit question, "Now that the Supreme Court has given Presidents immunity, what's the funniest thing Biden could do?" I answered, "Shoot Donald Trump." I caught a strike for inciting violence, appealed it, and got a clearly automated reply upholding the strike. Made a Lemmy account that day and never looked back.
Welcome my son. You may proceed unto the Fediverse with Saint Luigi's blessing.
Welcome to the fediverse, and retrolemmy! If you have any questions there are loads of "new to Lemmy" communities like !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca. Users are usually pretty helpful to reddit refugees, since most uf us are refugees ourselves.
If you have any questions or recommendations for retrolemmy itself there is !general@retrolemmy.com , or you can message me privately.
Hi. I made it.
Just deleted my 13-year-old account. I'm fucking pissed how much effort I put into that fucking place. The hardest thing was overwriting my content so they don't grt to keep my work. It's done, fuck that place.
yeah im the living example, got approved yesterday, and I love the fact that lemmy is self hosted and decentralized, scratches the self-hosted itch of my brain.
I have to say, that is one hilariously fantastic way to wish ill on a group of people.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Hello, fellow redfugees
Ugh. Another goddamn September.
(Big /s. I'm happy people are leaving the pigboy.)
Welcome! We've got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@lemmy.world and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We have Tankies here too, but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. On .world instance you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them
I've seen that sort of shit and have now left Reddit and come over too
Yep all three of my accounts got banned from Reddit yesterday for no good reason. Everyone should seriously leave that trash heap asap
Don't forget to leave a bad review on how bad the app features and performance is.
tadaaaa, here I am :)
Uhh it's 2025 you can't be summoning GG Allin ... I think that was your problem boss
Yeah, the upvote thing got me. Crazy shit.
Just made my account. Reddit can no longer be a trustworthy site since Spez keeps shitting all over the site with dumb ass rules.
I understand that there are laws against violent speech online so the platforms have their hands tied in some ways, but they are completely fucking stupid. We need to get rid of them entirely. People are just going to say "luigi them," instead of "kill them," then "luigi" will become a banned keyword, it will get replaced with something else and so on forever. Especially when your country is at war, there is no way to talk about reality without talking about violence. And violence is justified in self defense. These laws are the product of some soy ass peace time virtue signalers and need to be immediately overturned so that people can begin organizing an insurgency for when the yanks invade.
Hello, it's me. Happy to be here! 😁
The main "encouraging violence" fantasy I have is the next Wolfenstein spiritual sequel. The series has always had G.I. Robot's absolute adoration for the process of painfully ending Nazis' lives, and as long as it could pick out its exact (in-game) faction targets well, like I.C.E., and takes some ideas from Doom's glory kills, it could be a lot of fun.
GG Allin! I saw a doco on him a few years back called Hated.
Whole shit was that insane. When he jumped into the crowd and started smearing them with poo. He just didn't give a fuck.
GG Allin possession is a great note to leave on, congrats!
I just wanted something different so I came here. Also trying to fedi my fun and leave old services that have been enshittified.
The Fediverse exists because developers and users alike believe in freedom. Freedom is always limited in some degree in centralized structures. Other platforms have an incredible advantage though, which is having a large user base. But all the people in the Fediverse chose for the free (as in libre) alternative regardless. And so the monopolies will be challenged. The alternatives are there, and whenever momentum grows, it will expand. I believe that eventually the Fediverse will win, simply because it's a convincing idea, worthy of our faith, and so we stick with it. Don't be demoralized by it taking time. Freedom persists if we continue to believe.
Would have been two days ago, but I was doing yardwork this weekend from when I got up until I dropped and wasn't online.
I don't tend to post things that would get me a ban, but the principle of it and who was actually catching the consequences made it clear who was taking the space over. I almost moved here back during the mod api protests and I refused to use reddit for about six months, but this is a point of no return. Hopefully activity will increase in the topics I read about.
