Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people. 4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit.

I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then [email protected] went into archive mode, so I decided to make this to keep it clean from any reddit shills lurking in the dark. I’ll start by posting some historical content.

By the way, anyone know what might be the most anti-reddit lemmy instance? I’d hate to find out that shitjustworks likes reddit and doesn’t want a “watch reddit die” community on their instance.

    If you hate reddit so much why do you keep giving it so much attention?

    At this point I’ve only been back for a couple Google searches, and I don’t miss it at all honestly.

      There are voices, and actions that reddit has silenced that should be given back a voice again. Reddit has been doing very bad things and sweeping them under the rug. This will give people a chance to find out about what reddit is trying to hide from the public.

      /r/watchredditdie for example, was a big sub that reddit basically shut down. I’m hoping to draw some of those people to lemmy as their new home. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1997179

        Only playing devils advocate here:

        Reddit is what we call corpo media (controlled by a single entity, autocratic, closed source, influential over millions of people) and therefore is part of the problem.

        I think its not necessarily reddits demise that will make the world a better place but the destruction of all corpos that keep us in wageslavery, pit the left against the right just to extract more money.

        So, since reddit is part of the problem, fire away.

      For some people, watching something they hate fail is pleasurable, even if they understand it’s not a person who will feel shamed by their eyes and instead a corporation that is much more likely than a human to benefit from the negative attention. Getting that schadenfreude rates a little higher for some individuals than what they perceive as contributing just a tiny little bit to it by giving it attention. And sometimes, negative attention isn’t always going to benefit a company.

          Isn’t it heavily downvoted?

          Nope. The anti-reddit stuff was downvoted and pro-reddit stuff upvoted. I dug back into my profile to find the most recent time it happened to me https://sh.itjust.works/comment/7640949.

          Overall I don’t find lemmy very anti-reddit at all. There were a bunch of anti-reddit subreddits of pretty large size that reddit basically shut down. All of them were way more anti-reddit than lemmy is. /r/watchredditdie and /r/declineintocensorship for example. I’m hoping to pull some of those people to lemmy by giving them a new home.

            I dug back into my profile to find the most recent time it happened to me https://sh.itjust.works/comment/7640949.

            I had a look and those links point to a thread in [email protected], which is not [email protected] nor !reddit[email protected]. Both those communities are pretty much anti-Reddit.

            Anyway, feel free to create another one, but be prepared for most of the people to just stick to those two, as they are well established and have large userbases

              Yeah I didn’t want to go digging that far back. I wouldn’t say they’re large. They have a few hundred subscribers while the /r/watchredditdie, etc. subs had more than a hundred thousand and were larger alone than the whole of lemmy.

                  Also, isn’t that against the whole notion of Lemmy? To spread things out and avoid concentration?

      It did on reddit (r/watchredditdie) and the admins shut it down. Snoopocalyse existed on lemmy, but went into archive mode.
