I got a warning for upvoting too much violent content. I know it’s bullshit. I contributed regarding economics but nothing violent.
Done with Reddit.
Never got my wrist slapped. But enforcing votes is beyond the pale.
Dipped my toes into lemmy during the last exodus (2023?) but I’m done posting to reddit forever now.
Why was OP banned?
Great introduction to Lemmy, might as well teach people we’re no better than reddit
Fucking disgusting internet janitors
Welcome to Lemmy.World lol
so…trump and musk want russia to take Ukrain and then all of Europe after that i take it.
Permabanned after nearly 12 years. Forgive me for hating Nazi’s. I’d made the statement fuck all Nazi’s but six several times but this time was this time I got automod flagged. They are pretty much flagging the word Nazi regardless of context or overall statements made. The same goes for the word Luigi. Also, Karma is basically useless considering downvoting too much can also lead to a ban. It is pretty ridiculous. I’d never been banned once for any reason except for the last 6 months where I’ve been sub banned or gotten 3-7 day bans several times for making points about the sorry state of affairs in America lately. Forgive me for not bowing to kiss the fascist MAGA ring. Reddit has really put profits over people this time with these stupid rules and no real care in reading appeals or looking at context during moderation. It is all for their bottom line and oligarch investors now.
Interesting. My 10 year old account also got perma banned for telling someone defending the third Nazi salute to “go to hell”.
Apparently I should have told them to “go fuck themselves”. But telling them to “go to hell” was inciting violence or whatever.
Yeah, I’ve said fuck all Nazis but six or kill all Nazis but six a hundred times on there, but this time was a bridge too far apparently. I really don’t care if they think it is violent. They’ll get theirs eventually I guess if history is a cyclical as it seems. Just gonna keep on trucking and spreading the word when I can, but it sure as shit ain’t going to be on Reddit. I think I’m getting too old, grizzled, and cynical for any form of social media anymore anyways. It’s all just so… fake. Reddit was the last bastion for me. I probably won’t be that prolific on here, but we’ll see.
Which reddit app is this in the screenshot?
I was using Boost for reddit but it stopped working :/
Boost is why I’m here too :(
They have a Lemmy client but I haven’t been able to get it to work reliably for me. Which client are you using for lemmy?
Voyager is the best imo.
I tried using Voyager but it wouldn’t let me sign in
It’s why I’m here. 12 year member, nearly a million in karma, perma-banned for repeating a statement I’d made many times in the past with no repercussions. The first time I repeated it after HitlerPig stole the election, I was fully banned.
It’s happening because Ohanion wants to buy TikTok, and he knows HitlerPig will be personally making the decision, based on who smooched his ass the most, and who paid the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he’s volunteering to make Reddit a member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I hope Reddit goes the way of Digg.
Same here,
today / last night he confidentley stated that the X cyberattack was “traced” to Ukraine.
he’s just another head of the hydra, the hydra being the transnational crime syndicate that masquerades as the US, Russian, and other governments.
This feels very much like the migration from tiktok to rednote. Hi everyone.
If it’s anything like that, they’ll all head right on back very soon.
I was surprised by the amount of people that went back. Or went back and stayed. Especially considering the welcome message. That shit was insultingly disgusting.
I never used tiktok but went to rednote to see the migration. Stayed on rednote and my algorithm has become three things (1) sexy cosplay girls (2) free Palestine coverage (3) and Chinese food. I’m a simple man I guess.
Mine’s pretty much half cute animals and half politics. 😅
Welcome. And yeah though you might find more communists here than rednote
Tankies are fake commies IMHO
Welcome!
Oh no there goes the neighbourhood!
Just kidding, welcome refugees!
Yes, we came
Hello and welcome. Can I introduce you to my friend Linux?
You’re one of the many making me feel like a Windows cuck because I haven’t used Linux yet
If you ain’t mainlining Linux, you aint enjoying freedom
This place got me to give it a second try (xkcd caused the first like a decade ago).
Main suggestions: pick a distro on your priorities (starting with arch is a meme for a reason, most people just want a computer that just does what they want easily, Linux can do that nowadays and you’ll have the freedom to mess around with terminal if you want) and keep in mind you may need to do some things a little differently like using a different program, but unless you’re using cad it’s unlikely to be an issue
Start with with a simple distro that feel comfortable for you, don’t go crazy, but have fun with it! Btw, I use Arch.
Will you clean up the mess? 😊
I fixed all my reddit problems years ago with this simple trick:
added
127.0.0.1 *reddit*
to my hosts file.
Say more about this. What does this do?
Redirects queries for “reddit.com” in your url bar towards your own computer. And unless you literally are reddit, you won’t reply to yourself, the result being that you’ve blocked the website for yourself.
EDIT: I prefer to use 0.0.0.0 instead, so I’ll continue to ignore myself even if I do become Reddit in the future. Gotta be cautious.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become 151.101.21.140
It’s a DNS file specifically for your computer. It just returns 127.0.0.1 as the IP address of Reddit, instead of it’s real IP
Since when did wildcards work in the hosts file ?
Well, I know it works on my system…
Reddit full bore banned me for saying “I should have a legal right to punch nazis” and declined my appeal.
Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that’s not a joke it’s terrifying.
But… but… Won’t someone think of the poor innocent nazis???
(I got a warning for pretty much the same reason and decided not to hang around until I got a full ban.)
I haven’t been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing “Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”
Not very civil of you dear…
Tbh you can catch bans for that here but beauty of fediverse is that power tripping mods have limited ability to ban you fedi wide so freedom enjoyer’s just go do their discourse on other sub’s and servers
I find that answer amazing and I will adopt it from now on to all the orange guy followers, cheers
Go forth with my blessings.
Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.
It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.
Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.
I’ve been hearing this for years, and yet, literal neo-nazis are running the us government now. But go ahead and keep using the anti-woke rhetoric lol.
Exactly! Literal nazis in government, calling them out does nothing! Very few people are taking it seriously.
what a cop out. there’s no functional difference between an idiot that works to advance nazi ideologies and the same but they have a swastika tattoo on their neck. to resist fascism means to confront ALL fascists. it’s not about disagreement or people you dont like, most people are using ur-fascism as their default definition and umberto eco has a fucking 14 point checklist we’re using. to act like it’s so arbitrary is completely out of touch.
Useful idiots are working against their own interests, while hard, it is possible to reason with them. A self-conscious nazi is a nazi through and through.
Nazis thrive on diluting language—twisting words like “freedom” and “patriotism” to serve their agenda. Ironically, the same thing happens when “Nazi” gets thrown around carelessly. Mislabeling people weakens the term, but so does refusing to acknowledge real extremists. Precision matters—both in calling out threats and in resisting linguistic manipulation.
I’ve had a few of my “check out lemmy.ca” posts deleted there and frankly I don’t see how it breaks reddit TOS. They’re just bitter.
Watch this: Luigi is a hero
Just made an account here ten minutes ago. The format feels weird but it’s nice to be able to continue talking like sensible people without getting banned for it. Feels good, man.
I will say, DO NOT use Sync or Boost, both are abandoned. Voyager is FOSS and adapts to updates.
Voyager doesn’t allow users on dbzer0 which is such a disappointment.
Damn was using Sync
Check out lemmyapps.com for different apps and webUIs. There is even sm old reddit style clone like old.lemmy.world for example.
Happy you could join! You’ll find that not only are bans much more reasonable, but conversations are frequently downright pleasant. Aditionally, there are communities built just for calling out mods that abuse power or are heavily biased. The system here is working much better from a user perspective.
The Voyager app is almost exactly like Apollo was before Reddit shut it down. There are others you can try out too and Lemmy will look and function however you want it too.
If you used to use the Apollo app for Reddit then I strongly recommend Transit. It looks and feels a lot like Apollo, but for Lemmy.
And for former Relay users, Summit will feel pretty familiar.
Infinity -> Eternity
If it’s any help, I use the sync app on android. I also used sync for reddit prior to the API thing which finally made me leave, so my experience is pretty much the same in terms of format. I agree it can feel weird in a browser but there’s a bunch of good mobile apps that might feel more familiar.
Just FYI the dev abandoned the app and core features still break when the new instance updates take place. Not to mention:
Tap for spoiler
They never fixed their spoiler markdowns.
Welcome!
Many instances have old.lemmy UI options, if you were on reddit since the before-times.
.world mods would be very upset if we didn’t bully them into submission 😔
We’re hereeeee! Also Luigi is a national treasure.
Banned for supporting Super Mario characters.
Luigi!
