I’ve been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I’m still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else’s dick thank you very much.

🙋🏻‍♂️ +1 on having received a warning. I’m a simple man. I see Luigi, I upvote.

Day 1 on lemmy so am finding my way around still :)

Yeah, I just moved over. Its a shame but things are going to get crazy online.

I first saw this news over on Reddit, immediately searched for an alternative. Got home from work and now here I am

“Shithole website continues circling toilet.”

I register on reddit 17 years ago. Before the great migration from digg. I remember /r/programming being the first sub to reach 100k subscribers.

I got banned for saying in the /r/europe sub that russia banning youtube in russia was a good thing because then we in the west would get less russian propaganda. Got banned for a couple days. Left and never looked back.

/r/programming is dead already since around a decade. All the good discussions moved to hackernews and lobsters.

EDIT: never forget that spez admitted to silently edit user comments that criticized him

Fuck Trump and Musk. US should get invaded Iraq 2003 style.

This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.

Fuck Reddit

Warms my heart to see all the ‘new account’ badges in this thread.

Feels like how reddit was when I first used it 12 years ago. Bye bye reddit.

Finally made the permanent switch over to Lemmy. I left a link in the Reddit Safety post so anyone else could convert easily.

It’s an absurd overreach to say the least; good riddance to the corpo-bot platform.

If the content is banned how is it being upvoted?

Haha aaaaand that’s how I got here
