The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
I came here because I was permabanned from all os Reddit because I wrote an elevator lie about. A fictitious lie about a cheese man roaming the campus late at night
Edit:I’m sorry I can’t make this coherent I’m knocked badly
hay, some of us were dutifully agitating for the cause!
I like it here for the most part but I don’t like the reddit tendencies. Stuff we solved many years ago there. Why is it not great anymore?
Little of column A, little of column B.
I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.
Tbqf not missing much, place is a cesspit
i was banned before all that drama, i posted/reported on someone on r/technology and recieved a temp ban for "reporting too much, or reporting that isnt "approved nebulously"
The bans are mostly meaningless these days tho. Its so easy to make a new account and bypass detections.
not on reddit though, much harder to bypass since they upped thier bannings and detection methods this year and recently too. the ones that are bypassing on reddit usually are using hundreds of account at once and earning some money from doing it. additionally they also are using AI to indiscirminately ban people.
Its still super easy just search the web how to. Use a new browser window with new email on mobile network connection - its literally impossible to reliably fingerprint this.
if you're using the mobile apps then yea you're fucked, don't do that
i dint, it was firefox browser on private with some adblockers, they just decided to purge thousands of peoples accounts at once.
Damn
IP Address?
Yea, reddit api thing burned that bridge, been happy ever since.
Same, but kind of sucky sharing a perimeter with authoritarians and the worst kind of anarchists. If Lemmy were a physical location and not an online space I'd be sleeping fully armed.
I don't mind reading their points of view. I block people that cross lines but overall I appreciate different viewpoints.
I feel like "the people who represent your views are lying to you, murder all your government officials and open the ports for invasion" isn't really a point of view worth respecting, but I never block anybody for any reason.
Same, I always used third party clients since they create awful stuff. When the clients stopped working, I stopped going and started using lemmy.
Im here because I'm fucking stubborn.
I hate the Reddit app, give me back RIF and I'll abandon this place in a heartbeat. Give me a paid Reddit option to fuck the adds off and Ill take it. Ill pay $20 a month not to have to listen to you neckbeards to try and make literally every conversation about capitalism, linux or Trump.
Bunch of one note ass motherfuckers, you think I dont know the world sucks? I want some escapism for fuck sake.

If Trump switched to Linux capitalism would fall

I'm a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I'm decent, you see?
i avoided those instances, after i heard how bad they were accidentally engaging in thier posts, they rubbed the wrong way so i blocked them before could recieve a ban from them.
The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that…not so much.
I left reddit at the same time for the same reason; found Lemmy, and honestly I've loved it. Looking at other comments, it looks like you're actually running an instance, so your interaction with the fediverse has been very different from mine... can definitely understand burnout from that angle!
I'd recommend just making an account on an established instance, then curating your personal feed reductively by blocking communities and posters whose content you're not interested in. That process will take weeks, but just keep passively blocking shit you don't want to see, and the quality of your experience will skyrocket.
To be fair @ptz@dubvee.org
You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.
Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡
I dont care. If you got banned from reddit youre doing the world a great service.
Fediverse users who are here because uhh privacy
Lemmy is not, and never has been private. It's highly public
Its private in that it doesn't collect data about you, besides what you provide yourself.
