Came to lemmy for a bit when they killed 3rd party apps in July '23. But I switched back once I learned how to make Boost (my favourite reddit app) usable again.
Now I'm back here, hopefully permanently. Was calling out a troll on a local subreddit and found out users are now able to hide their post and comment history.... Unless you keep a folder of screenshots of bots, trolls etc., it is hard to call them out now.
Boost is also on lemmy now, so that lessens the pain a little bit. But the communities that I used to frequent on reddit is close to dead here, especially my local community lol. So I've just been browsing active but most of these are irrelevant to me. So I turned back to spending my time on other things like reading, games, etc.!
-
I left reddit when I realized that probably 50% or more of the users are actually bots. Literally debating with robots.
-
Yeah, the move to hide users' post history and comments serves more to hide advertisers, scammers, trolls, bots, etc.. User privacy? People got it before by having multiple accounts that were used for different purposes. It has worked for years lmfao.
-

Lemmy is exactly like Reddit was in the early days. Long before the enshitification started.
Back in those days niche forums still existed and search engines worked.
I'm happy here. I love it in fact.

Newbie here who is in Reddit jail, I got banned for posting something that wasn't into Reddit's filters (It was an NSFW meme but it wasn't offensive) My account literally got sniped by a bot the second I posted the meme, I'm glad there's neither here. I'll wait 100 days until my IP gets unblocked I guess and then move there for now this is my new home.
I had an account with almost 100k karma and I posted good stuff I had friends I talked to, Thanks reddit for having bullshit filters and for having a nonsense repeal system that doesn't work.
-
Why not just move here permanently and kill your Reddit since they clearly demonstrated they don't want you there?
I mean, I wasn't ever banned from Reddit, but I left on my own before that would've inevitably happened since I had some comments sniped for BS before they started ramping up the censorship there, and I don't plan on ever going back.
-
Because reddit had more niche communities that I was into and it's way more populated which is to be expected, but I also love how open this website seems so far, my main gripe with Reddit is that if you are a new account you are pretty much fucked, I'm not against moderation but Reddit overdoes it.

Welcome. If your all page seems stale, I suggest you switch to different sort types. Active is the least active, but worth checking. Hot is great. If I still want content, I'll go to 1 hour, 6 hour and scaled.
-
Worth noting there are descriptions here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
But basically Hot is highest score (upvotes minus downvotes) with a decay based on how old the post is (down to 0 after I think 2 days)
Active is the same thing but with the decay based on when the last comment was posted rather than the post itself (use to find conversations).
Top is just the highest score (upvoted minus downvotes) only counting the votes in the period you select (hour, 6 hours, day, etc).

I was on Reddit for 12 years, with nearly a million Karma, but they permabanned me in the February bloodbath for posting an opinion I'd posted many times without a warning of any kind.
I've never heard of a 100 days ban, that's new. I suspect they're hoping you'll forget about Reddit and go away, but if you go back, my prediction is that now that you are on their radar, they'll target you, and find excuses to keep suspending you until they feel justified in permabanning you.
-
Reddit mostly ban IPs for 100 days 105 for safety and I've been there before really, Now I've got a new connection so different IP and I'm not shy about formatting my devices, It's something I will do, though for now I also don't care.
-
-
Have you been told there's a 100 day cool down? I was told my account was banned (with zero info/explanation) forever and even when I use VPNs I get Shadow banned until I open up Reddit without a VPN so I assume it's really forever
-
Is the 100 days cooldown a thing? I just recently deleted my shadow banned 10 years account because I'm pretty sure it's done and dusted once you get the shadow ban. Especially as you don't even know what you are banned for.
-
Your account is done and dusted, you can make a new one though.
-
-
What was the meme? Post it here..
-
It had nudity so I'll avoid posting it here because I still like to follow the rules.
The point being it was a perfectly legal meme which got sniped by a bot and I didn't even bother appealing the ban because I know it would probably get blocked without even them looking at it, and now I don't want to sign in to my account with my new IP because it would probably reset the days.
I know some people like to be sctrictly anti-moderation and anti-rules because they like to post offensive or innapropriate stuff, I think there SHOULD be moderation, It's just Reddit's moderation is so forced
-

If you have a way to contact your friends, let them know where to meet you.😉
-
the reddit filters currently go very hard against nsfw/ right now, its only a matter of time before it shadowbans people
-
-
I never got banned just left. Welcome
-
There are not many of us here. Although I have had bans in the past I just made new accounts and ignored them.
-
It's nice to have a place that feels like early Reddit, but I can't help but wonder if a large percentage of the people who got banned and came here were banned for valid non-political reasons.
Maybe I was getting too used to Redditors telling me I'm absolutely right.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Fuck, that dude's face is haunting. Like the ghost of a victorian era orphan

Leaving reddit has helped me substantially. That website is full of bots and trolls. The admins are power hungry and really angry for some reason.
I started reading again, doing more art and not doomscrolling as much. I could waste 3 or 4 hours easily scrolling through the reddit shithole and learn nothing.
I do miss the modding subreddits and the mechanics subreddits cause i like working on stuff and most of the post here are program/linux based. But as time goes on, this site will get better with more people and posts.
-
Never been banned. Their stupid "contributor quality score" makes it impossible to cycle through accounts once a year and not get shadow banned by the site itself.
-
Reddit basically teaches people to be pandering self conscious kiss-asses with a penchant for bullying the underdog + general groupthink.
-

I hadn't been to reddit for over a year, but recently picked it up again. They've got things that we don't have, because they're bigger. Their community isn't all bad, but you have to look hard.
I make sure not to post anything though. No comments or upvotes either. I would still rather see them die, but sunce they're here, I might as well use them.
-
Definitely yeah, I mean they've got over 110M daily active users while Lemmy has 40k daily users it's not even comparable, if Lemmy had users in the Millions I think it would be much better.
I always looked for a reddit altenative, even though Reddit has all the things you'd ever want, and people from all around the world that you'l probably never meet but still, I would change so many things.
-
...if Lemmy had users in the Millions I think it would be much better.
At least until a certain threshold is reached. I think part of Lemmy's charm comes from it being a small community. Though maybe this can be sustained by having more active sublemmys forming smaller groups again.
I love how you can always expect elaborate answers to your questions here. Also there seem to be less trolls and unfriendly comments in general. Pleasant culture.

-
Hookers? Where?

Reddit with Chinese characteristics (we're in a psyop)
-
-
i feel this way about the entire fediverse and i love it XD
-
I'm yet to see the blackjack.
-
We have blackjack?! And hookers?!
-
It's pronounced jackblacks and boogers
-
-
Lemmy has advanced leaps and bounds since the Reddit exodus, and has not devolved into a nazi shithole like most Reddit clones. It still lacks many niche communities, but hopefully this will improve over time.

Come check out cyberspace.online
-
I’m happy to be here and grow in the wind.
-
I feel like this post is about me...
-
Nah, fuck Spez!
-
I'm not sure if it's just Spez, I think Reddit's moderation needs a serious overhal, but at this point they've got so many users that I'm not even sure if they look at their appeals anymore, probably not.
-
I got Permabanned from Reddit (17 year old account btw) for “ threatening violence” because I said we should pop tires of iCE agents illegally kidnapping people.
So yeah, screw them and bring on the blackjack and hookers
we should pop tires of iCE agents illegally kidnapping people.

Whoever had the idea on Reddit to get permabanned and have a shitty appeal system that never gets checked by human beings literally wasn't the smartest guy.
Statistically it is a safe bet to say the literal smartest guy is not nor ever has worked at Reddit.
I reported a post and was then reported by mods for “report abuse”. There’s no explanation what this even is. An admin said “when you know, you know”is the whole definition. So I received a few days suspension. But the mods removed the post. Appeal was ignored.
Now mods and admins are gaslighting everyone into thinking that there’s no problem. Despite there being complaints by multiple people (including some mods) for years now.
Damn, what an insult, if anyone ever says I'm slightly less than the top 0.00008% of humanity I would loose it.
I got shadow banned my 10 year old ACC there for no reason in particular. The moderators there are out of touch. Was on 555 days streak too. After 3 more weeks just being there, deleted my banned account and moved here. Hi, I am new here.
Welcome to 🐭
Welcome!
I got permananned for violence for saying a fictional character "got what they deserved." It was 100% a non-sequiter as the character did nothing wrong and survived the movie just fine.
You'l probably get banned or at least have your comment deleted from .world if you say stuff like that, and jordanlund is still the ubermod.
Shoulda suggested just keying the cars instead.
Ya. We used to be able to have a voice there. Now the minority conservatives are pushing out the majority liberals. Piece by piece.
Sounds terrible, in fact, I don't conserve for many years the accounts I have created on mainstream social media, but reddit feels different, if I were you I wpuld feel very angry and sad, 17 years of your stories!!!, unfortunately we know how this comanies works and does not allow users to appeal, feel free to express your ideas on the fediverse, I would like to see your account and mine on the 20 anniversary, good luck.
