First two results when you search for lemmy on reddit.

I've been lurking reddit lately, to see what propaganda the normies in the US are exposed to, and I found this thread fucking hilarious.

Every comment is complaining about how this will be the death of reddit. None of them realize Reddit already died years ago, and they're just getting high off the ashes.

no wonder they wanted api gone as well, it allowed people to ban evade, since its not using the site directly.

This really isn't true. Specific subreddits do, because their mods want to buddy up to the admins. With OP's search settings, I do get one of the posts they got (only one though), and most of the results are drowned out by posts about some guy called Lemmy. But sorting by New, there's plenty of results even from today and the past week. Subreddits announcing their fallback instance, a canadian subreddit discovering lemmy.ca, people asking questions about Lemmy. Lemmy-specific subreddits also show up without a problem. And everything I saw, except for that one post from OP's image, was positive about it.

I think people who have fully left Reddit are falling for confirmation bias when they hear that a post got removed for mentioning Lemmy. While plenty are still up despite doing the same. It's either because of the other contents of the post, or because of the subreddit it was posted in. If it was about promoting Lemmy alone, all posts that promote Lemmy would be gone, which isn't the case.

they made a post, got tons of downvotes, then complained about downvotes which also got downvoted, got caught by automod because of downvotes, appealed, got unbanned, then deleted account or got purged because nothing even shows in modlog. the account was on sjw, posts were to communities in .ml and lw

this is my first acc on lemmy, i had no idea that was a seperate login. whats ML?

"Tankie instances" don't tolerate transphobia or western exceptionalism or Zionism. Lib instances don't tolerate questioning of US State Department propaganda (been banned from many comms for questioning the validity of Wikipedia articles on geopolitically charged topics) but will tolerate Zionism (downvoted but not banned). I'd rather have the former

shitty reddit search.

Vile. You offer hot cocoa with no whipped cream!? Aboslutely terrible.

Thanks. 😂

Do you have 🗿 here?

Thanks

Thanks

Not sure if reddit gives you all that power

It does not. Was one of the reasons that I abandoned it when they blocked third party clients. I resent being forced to view right-wing propaganda, rage-bait, and ads as well as being forced to short by opaque algorithms that are clearly intended to manipulate.

you can block invididuals, and turn off replies, but its often not effective, because if you go back to the orignal convo you blocked, you can see them removed that you blocked them, oh and they created another account so they can evade your own block(since they cant join your convo thread in a subreddit. often times they will retaliate by reporting you for blocking them. and risking reporting them, can put you at odds with a mod, say you cant make too many reports.

they went after the OF accts recently, if people wanted OF porn, they go to non-PH and thier affiliate sites.

The user got banned by the automod in the first one.

You got banned by the automod because your account was less than 24 hours old and you received 40 downvotes on a post. That filter is in place to combat spambots and trolls, because normal users are unlikely to trigger it by getting so many downvotes so soon after making an account

I messaged the admin and they already unbanned your account. ...

Rent free in your brains, gahdaym

You kind of just tipped your hand at your gardening ability. And also that you've never had a real tomato.

Tulips.

Lemmy is tulips.

All the way down.

I'm almost 40, this place reminds me of the early internet in a good way. Like, people connecting and sharing ideas... what even Reddit used to feel like. Sure, sometimes there are arguments but, due to the lack of an "outage" algorithm to juice engagement, you usually only hear about it unless it's something you directly follow. With the lack of profit motive on the side of the platform and hosting end of things, it appears that trolls and clout chasers have a genuine hard time monopolizing everyone's attention.

Lol.

I haven't really seen it outside of the like normal levels of hate. Which subLemmys or whatever are you seeing it on?

Buddy they made Lemmy, you're in their space

I blame the anti-tankies. Like this is the only site i even see the termed even used and it looks like a weird hysteria for most. The community is already smal so it looks relay wired. Even this whinny attitude of blocking every one on this tiny space give real off vibes.

they already have thier safe spaces on r/consevative, conspiracy, and trueunpopular opinon, but they whine on other subs that th ey are still get censored, or the so-called left is in an echo-chamber ever since trump won. even though those sub is mostly run by russian state owned bot system.

Can confirm - I'm new here and when I see pieces of shit who'd be right at home amongst the people my grandfather killed in WWII (AKA nazis) it doesn't make me more interested in sticking around. At this point IDGAF why they think they way they think, they can fuck off into the sun. At some point I'll see whatever blocking thing there is and it will get better. Still an improvement over reddit.

I imagine that less-determined redditors will take one look at this place, see a liberal-bashing post, and then immediately fuck off

Good. The last thing we need is more stormfront brainrot.

Also, quite the ironic comment.

Bro inadvertently it made a new copypasta 😂

All politics ruin everything.

frankly, lemmy is literally only place I have found where you can discuss politics reasonably. I also try to rid myself of any pride about being right about anything and actually look forward to being called out if someone thinks i'm wrong. Then I can take a look at what they say and adjust my own opinions if the other guy makes sense.

Though i dont go to .ml, they seem more interested in witch hunts than making anything better.

See, that’s exactly the kind of thing I come here for. Keep doing it!

Honestly I think your approach is closer to the ideal: it's pretty poisonous to the mind if most of the content you take in is political in nature. You need to explore other stuff too, broaden horizons and all that.

I've been learning how to design parts with CAD software and 3D print it. Also got a home server going to host games and media, among other things. These hobbies keep me sane, and that's what I'm ultimately getting at: people need to get a hobby that isn't about being mad on the internet.

Also instead of just whining on the internet, its far more effective to engage in local politics and build up a base of people there than hoping that "someone" will do "something" about the whole country. That "someone" has to come from somewhere: create the grassroots that can be the base from which change springs.

That's probably for the best Jamie Oliver - you do have a public persona to consider.

in reddit you have to walk on eggshells when your in those subs, even if your "agreeing with everyone else", one simple misconstruement will get you banned.

I don't have any problems being occasionally politically incorrect on lemmy. Even if you get tons of downvotes, so what?

Yeah. To be clear, I don’t feel "persecuted" by the administration, just the community. That’s a very important difference.

the gaza/palestine thing is very tricky, many of the subs have been infiltrated by pro-israeli mods, early on the war, they were spamming "jews are doing nothing wrong, if we jews dont destroy them they will destroy us", i pointed out in one, where the war was instigated and started by the same person who is keeping himself out of jail in israel.

I’ve caught bans for being insufficiently pro-Kamala

I talked some shit during the election and didn't cop a ban lol. I guess you either had more visibility or were in even more extreme places than I was?

Agree with the sentiment, I feel like cybertrucks deserve an exemption though, agree or disagree?

that part is wierd, conservatives dont own EVS, PERIOD fox has been telling how evs are a }pansy liberal thing", cybertruck is anomaly though.

but I feel totally alone veering off certain topics or even acknowledging certain things!

So what? Do it anyway. Who cares about downvotes? Sounds like discussions can benefit from your input.

I've pointed out more than once that the phrase "Palestinian Genocide" is hyperbole.

But it's still far more political here...

"Emo" is one hell of a name.

People who call themselves "leftists" and hate "liberals" are almost always Stalinists or Communists. "Left" is actually a word that covers an entire spectrum of left of center: liberals, ultraliberals, and radical.

The irony is that the Stalinists are using a misleading inclusive word "leftist", but historically Stalin and Lenin considered all the other leftist parties in Russia to be their main enemy, not people on the right. Members of these 2 leftist parties were their very first victims. All of them were killed or sent to the Gulag. And then later Stalin made an alliance with Hitler.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Revolutionary_Party

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensheviks <--- this party was originally the very same party as the Bolsheviks and was the majority faction.

currently on reddit the slightest misconstrued of your comment will get you banned, my favorite is always "harassment and hate". i was in the gym sub, and someone qouted machelenny as someone "that naturally achieved that look" from isaip, and responded with "roids and juiced up. instant ban, and you contact the mods for a whole month.

It also helps to check which instance a post comes from & adjust your expectations accordingly.

Fundamentally, Reddit has (in the Past) better moderation, and theirs is lousy.

I had my comments deleted by some authoritarian nerd mod on one of those star trek communities for shitting on Discovery. Apparently, by having a negative opinion, I wasnt creating a welcoming atmosphere.

star trek is wierd, theres like 2 types of fans, the old trek and the nutrek crowd, the nutrek crowd is wierd becuase the series that came out since 09 sucks balls.

Risa?

I’ve gotten banned somewhere for ostensibly malicious ninja editing, can’t even remember the community, but I do remember the topic. I dared clarify some factual thing.

But it wasn’t part of a particular bandwagon of hate, so no dice.

Agreed.

I need to force myself to post/comment more in these subs though. Like I am trying to keep an eye on /c/thelastairbender for instance, but there are more.

“I also chose this guys dead wife”..

Like the inside jokes were really good on Reddit like the switcheroo one, or the guy that always had that whole comment that ended in the wrestling scene but most of them were just repeated to death

Windows 11 is the best operating system Microsoft have released in a long time, and I think it wins out on Arch Linux.

Those top posts on reddit are always karma farming bots

Not so sure about the jokes. I use Arch BTW........

Disclaimer: I actually don't. I'm too lazy these days.

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

hexbear? got a link to that?

Average .world conservative when exiting the echo chamber

Okay I get your point but please stop using "mental illness" as an insult.

God I can't believe it's been over a year and half since I left. Seems like yesterday.

seems to be worst now, although i do enjoy nottheonion and some politics.news on occasion it got really tiresome to see it all the time,and the ragebaiting, that you can get potential bans from. you can however filter out problematic subs from appearing on the feed. only works if your in r/all though.

It's that what happened when a popular post that was 'blowing up' on Reddit went from 500 updoots on the front page to mediocre front-page posts regularly getting 3-4k updoots seemingly over night?

I was there, I remember the change, I can't remember why it happened.

Well I've had a lot of fun here and almost everyone has been quite nice to me, that's what I know.

sometimes its wierd to see some reddit comments that have so much votes, yet the comment itself is obviously wrong, and spammy.

Same. I'll just block and move on. But I really haven't gotten them here. But other social sites I don't even reply.

i just report sometimes, to block them. on reddit, depends on the sub it can backfire if you report and the mod doesnt like it, or they set a filter of how many reports a "user can do before they get banned"

a paragraph response is just a rant. you have to spend a huge amount of time just thinking about it, and stressing out over it, thats how these people think.

Aktshully...

Insert two paragraphs of lorem ipsum.

On Livejournal back in the day you could list interests in your profile, like if you liked music or sports or whatever and you could search each other that way to find new friends. One Christmas an LJ friend had a "naked Christmas party", where we all posted photos of ourselves naked, so I submitted my first and only topless photo online ever, minus my face, and a bunch of my friends made up an interest category for my "(username) incredible rack". That was 25 years ago, and I'll say with modesty that they still look pretty good. That was a fun time.

Won’t it make sense though
