Inception bitch!
You left Reddit because you wanted to tell a message
I left because I was banned site wide cause of an unpopular opinion in a gaming subreddit
We are not the same
I got banned site wide for saying that democrats want to force everyone to get automatic transitions… In a car sub.
I guess I’m transphobic because I didn’t put a /s at the end. 🤷
I was also banned site wide from reddit.
For saying that mayor Tiffany Henyard or whatever her name is of Dalton IL should be imprisoned for corruption. It was reported as racism. Lmao whatever that site sucks anyway
Oh wait … I wasn’t supposed to disclose the reason!!!
You guys were banned for comments?
I was banned for constantly up voting luigi memes.
I got banned for wishing that Washington loses their nuclear standoff with Iran, the feeling goes for all of the nuclear standoffs, though. Get shitty representation, a bad economy, and to fight rich men’s wars if you’re from West of the Mississippi, unless you have a beach, then you matter to the Fucking Virginians, lmao.
That women don’t have to be hairless and ultra femme and muscles are cool :)
which game were you talking about?
I keep on getting 3 day bans from these infantile mods with no reply and no reason behind it besides their pettiness and immaturity. Ahhhhhh! 😆
Uh… What opinion?
Special kind of opinion with extra sauce, served right into the Star Citizen subreddit.
🤌 House specialty.
Ooh, what opinion?
It was an opinion specifically selected from fresh produce and ingredients made with passion and dedication.
I have served it to Star Citizen players and they started to behave very unfriendly towards me. I had to run for my dear life.When I tried to come back I was met with hammers and pitchforks so I decided to take my cuisine elsewhere.
Unfortunately not everybody likes my cooking but… I have found plenty of enjoyers of my food on the web.
Oh very interesting
I ditched Reddit because the writing’s on the wall for them becoming a complete hellscape with their ramping up of censorship recently, and I jumped ship before that Titanic of a platform sinks.
You don’t like AI bots replying to other AI bots ad nauseum?

Just deleted my reddit and joined Lemmy. Do I have to quit already?
CATHERINE TWINNIE SPOTTED!!! O/
👋👋👋
Yeah it’s over
Why? I literally just joined.
they’re messing with you…Lemmy does have a tankie problem:
Not my instance 🤷♂️
I saw someone praising Stalin earlier. It seems you’re right.
İf you want a tankies perspective then check out ProleWikil
I don’t think I do.
What a shame, it was a good run.
No, you get to be where you want.
I was joking but thank you. 😁
Its true. I have friends still using it and they can’t seem to break free. I used Reddit since its inception, but left it immediately during the api-pocolypse and never looked back. I did the same with Proton when the CEO praised the GOP. I have no loyalties to tech companies.
I will die on this hill - the Proton CEO was right when he praised GOP in the context of the time, and situation.
The situation was: GOP accidentally* going against Big Tech and pro-citizens, while Democrats were defending Big Tech (just to be in opposition-by-default to GOP). Specifically, the CEO’s tweet was about how Trump nominating a fairly loudly outspoken anti-Big Tech person to a very high position in the DOJ was a good thing.
The time was: just before Trump 2 took office and showed what a shit-show his admin, and GOP have become.
The guy was ONLY talking about Big Tech and anti-trust policies nothing else. He never said “GOP is good for the US” or “GOP is good for the world”, he said “GOP are doing a bunch of anti-trust and anti-Big Tech moves right now and it’s good”.
People dropping Proton for this reason are the epitome of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
* it was because Trump was throwing a hissy fit at Meta and Twitter for allowing people to express anti-Trump opinions.
The problem with this, is if he was paying attention AT ALL, it’d be clear that the republican stance “against big tech” was always a lie. The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.

Nobody ever suggested otherwise. I specifically mentioned that myself.
The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.
He didn’t “buy” anything. He didn’t become a Republican, WTF are you people talking about? He literally said, that at the time GOP was more anti-Big Tech and pro-consumer than the Democrats and that a specific appointment was a good choice.
Since when does stating facts mean you’re “buying someone’s BS”?
It’s a common way to say someone was dupes by something, “they bought it” meaning they fell for it.
The point being GOP was only anti big-tech in rhetoric, there was antitrust brought under the Biden admin. https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2024/10/02/biden-ftc-antitrust-regulation-consumers-tech-pharma
He is either lying, or not paying attention.
I’ve been trying to break free from Reddit ever since the api-pocalypse and subsequent ai-pocalypse. I mostly found my home on Tumblr for a while but it’s taken a long time to find replacements for some things.
That’s why i left too though I only did it recently bc the app i used only stopped working like a month or two ago.
If you’re still on Lemmy…
…you’re supporting the solution!
I do not see how Lemmy helps with anything other than allowing people another excuse for escapism and scrolling on the internet over actually developing life skills, seeing new sights, socializing with humans, getting better at understanding people, and actually making an effort to communicate with others, doing some small part to make the world better.
Then why are you here?
I think the ‘problem’ the meme is referencing is supporting centralized social media run by corporations. I think the ‘problem’ you are talking about is more along the lines of tech addiction. Something can fix one problem without fixing every problem.
Sure, and my point is maybe we all need to put away the internet entirely a little more often, it’s literally killing us and the world.
The internet can be an amazing thing. It’s greed that’s turned it into an incorporated husk.
the internet can be a great place if you know where to look. the problem you are referring to is cellphones and general 24/7 connectivity. you can still get called with no data service, anywhere anytime. so ppl… put away the phones, tablets, computers, gaming devices. I challenge anyone to go off grid for a week. sadly I know I can’t.
We have off grid days on the weekend. I love it. I’d do it more if work didn’t require it or I didn’t have people who call me for help with things.
I love me a really well-made grilled-cheese sandwich, like with all the fixings and fancy bread. Truly one of life’s pleasures.
But if gets moldy, even if it’s no fault of my own, I will probably throw that shit away and pick another option. (This also kills the spread of the mold.)
Why are you on here?
To bother you in particular.
It would be weird if a Lemmy instance tried to make itself addictive. Like congrats your users request way more content and it costs 10x more to operate now yay
Sounds like a YOU problem.
with reddit the CEO ad shareholders control what gets promoted or silenced; with Lemmy they don’t have that power. that’s how it helps
I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.
Link aggregate sites do perform an actual function outside of the use case of doom scrolling. It’s a way that I engage with my niche hobby groups, aggregate news, and troubleshoot niche tech issues. There’s a reason why you Google a question then add “reddit” at the end.
This shits so funny bruh, stop using social media as your excuse for not developing skills, yeah its addictive but you make an active choice to not delete these apps, if I want to get shit done I delete tiktok, there you go, no longer distracted by easy scroll dopamine. Went i want a break from learning skills, seeing new sights, I redload it, wtf do you think social media is, there is less small talk and more proper socializing on lemmy/reddit type platforms than any other
The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don’t really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going “Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!” and anime fans going “Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!” on Bluesky.
Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 5% memes about politics, 5% memes about Lemmy being better than Reddit, and 10% Linux.
I came here to discuss niche hobbies and technical stuff. What I wanted to use reddit for but I strongly disagree with their business practices since this whole API blocking crap from last year.
Bluesky is refreshing
fuck off
What’s the beef with bluesky?
Ignorant people that hate “the left” don’t like BlueSky cuz … ignorance?
look this one thinks libsky is ‘left’.
So cute.More left than twitter, inept fool.
“More left than twitter” LOL
What an accomplishment.🤡
oh shit it’s an edgelord watch out.
LOL “edgelord”
Who TF says that?
Some ukranian reposting kievpost garbage?
Time they end the benefits for you leeches and send you back to ex-ukraine
it seems to hates any conflict, where’s the doxxing, the death threats, the thousands of downvotes (or community notes)?
It used to be so much more Linux, but replacing that with politically charged statements parading as memes isn’t a much better alternative. My two least favorite parts of Lemmy are how every conversation is somehow just one degree of separation from Linux or Nazis. Meme about dogs? Now the conversation is about genocide.
Honestly I’ve become so disillusioned with Lemmy over the last few months. Almost all of the discussion I see is liberals saying all conservatives should be executed, leftists saying all liberals should be executed, and tankies saying that anyone not willing to self-immolate in protest of the genocide in Palestine should be executed (but don’t you DARE mention any genocide not perpetuated by the West.)
/h
Get off lemmy.ml
They will follow us everywhere. If the medium is commercial, the capitalists will capture it. If its public, the extreme social interest groups will capture it.
“Extreme social interest” like universal healthcare / basic income, human rights, being anti genocide, pro-human rights, basic privacy rights… list goes on.
My good fellow, extremists are not here shitposting, they’re running the biggest economies of the world. World’s richest man did 2 nazi salutes a couple weeks ago. Twitter is full of nazis. Spotify is hosting Andrew Tate podcasts.
“Public/open source = bad” is exactly what those people want the public to think, because it can’t be monetized and easily controlled.
Reddit is like CNN, which is Fox-lite, while xitter is ( oan and newsmax)
have you ever seen Lemmy
ON WEEEEEEED
Bro, I’ve been high basically every fucking day for the last 5 years for sure but we’re getting on a decade here.
There isn’t much shit I haven’t tried on weed because raw dawgging this timeline is a guaranteed shotgun slurpee.
Bro I’m one week into a tbreak and it’s painful
There’s some weird shit going on, man. Beans flying everywhere, dudes who don’t want to shit for 3 days. Who’s that sending pictures of dead girls to everyone? I don’t know! Mod team, go! Mod team, go!
No shit for 3 days? That’s amateur numbers! There was that guy on Reddit that didn’t go for a month and a half and had to get unclogged at the hospital!
you sayin’ them reddit0rs… is full of shit?

Cats and dogs, living together!
love me some half-baked
Surprisingly, no. I should do that sometime. The only time I’ve been high in the last… forever, I drank a THC bev and went through a game bundle I bought, started up Cow Life Sim RPG and ended up playing it all day. It’s an insanely amazing game for what I expected was a shitpost game. Pterry4lyfe
Lmao well I found this place cause they won’t let me on Reddit anymore. They didn’t appreciate my colourful thoughts on Musk.
Honestly you could get banned for upvoting someone who stated someone seemed agitated and should try following dear leaders advice and take a shot of ivermecrin, a shot of bleach, and take a nap.
Watching reddits fall over the span of 12 years was certainly a thing.
they are here now
Joke’s on you, I’m on Mbin
How’s mbin been so far, compared to lemmy
I love it! Been using Interstellar on mobile.
How’s it compare to lemmy thou please? Same principal but better executed? Better content? More content?
I prefer the interface by a lot: More features, better UI, and more capability. Content is the same because federation.
