With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I’m wondering if any of you went back to the platform.

Edit: Looks like Spez was right :(

    Not unless I need to get some info from a niche country sub that barely exists on lemmy

    And even then no login, read only.

    Much prefer messing around here. I only just got my first ban from NCD because I said the US would prevent Ukraine from joining NATO which kind of made me look like a Russian shill which I assume is the #1 spam NCD receives.

    Otherwise I have really enjoyed being able to share my opinion without getting admin/mod banned, even on communities and instances with a lopsided set of users.

    I have pissed off both ml and world users which is funny because they each claimed I was from the opposite instance. But no such thing as shadowban or user nuking. I can actually discuss things here in detail, as well as receive quality posts from all of you :)

      Ahh yes, the old classic: being in the neutral position between the two extremes.

      I have the same problem in real life, but with the left/right crowd. I’ll get called one or the other until people clock me for what I am and then make fun of me by calling me an “enlightened centerist.”

      It’s always weird when you trigger a .ml user in particular though, because they become very aggressive or very “principaled” very quickly. A .world user is usually a little more metered, and just regular internet-brand angry, on average.
