Just curious
Bro who cares? Thanks for this post to remind me to unsub this dumb com
lol, your bad for subbing, honestly. I’m leaving too, but I was still subscribed to a community about a site I hate. Not sure why we did that, ngl.
Yeah I don’t get why I even did. Maybe just subbing to popular ones? Idk. Glad I inspired you
Maybe it was back in the day when we were angry with Reddit and wanted to get away but still keep an eye on the development.
At this point I’m over it. I don’t care or think about Reddit, ever. 🙂✨
You’re welcome! Have a good day
😾
Total bans for upvoting anti-nazi posts.
I saw once a post that called for killing Musk. If you mean that kind of anti-nazi post then a ban is justified.
Gee I wonder if that’s the kind of post they were talking about?
🤦♀️
derp-a-derp
Let’s just kill everyone we disagree with. And we’re totally not like Hitler.
If somebody tosses up nazi salutes, they shouldn’t be surprised when people want to put them six feet under with the other nazis.
The platform is apparently run by people who are pro-nazis so that’s fun. They pulled the trigger on Banning me for an incredibly flimsy reason.

I just got banned by saying ‘Ivermectin’ (literally, that was the whole comment) in a thread on /r/askhistory about weird drug usage by Hitler.
The reason: Harrasment (3 day ban).

usersthe top 2 are the problem, not the users(unless they are troll/bots)
Reddit is pretty much read-only for me now. Looks like many of you are the same because I don’t save or share to my browser very many anymore. Peeps ain’t writing stuff (of interest to me) on Reddit anymore.
That’s an excellent point. You can’t have a friendly chat or interesting exchange of views there no more. There’s just too many bots, too much nastiness
I’ve been getting lots of warnings that I’m not writing book-length replies and so I can’t submit a response for seven minutes, or something.
It’s just not worth it, usually, so I don’t.
same only read only.
The worst thing is ppl talking about it on lemmy, teeheehee.
But fr, I left 2 yrs ago, still will use it if a search brings me there, but dont really log-on, and haven’t scrolled it 2 yrs.
Kinda weird how popular it is now too.>be me

Shadowbans by, what looks like, AI automation
Yep and it’s just not fucking working
The admins
The top mods
The redesigns constantly making it more shit as it goesThe top mods
The power mods are bad, yeah, but I don’t entirely blame them for anything. They’re unpaid labour, and doing something that no one should be doing for extended periods of time, let alone without compensation. No wonder they’re totally unhinged.
(Which is why I don’t create new Lemmy communities because, oh shit, I’d have to moderate them, and, well, urgh.)
They’re just as bad for removing content for seemingly no reason. Often times they do it silently so you have no idea your post was removed.
Yeah but they’re just delirious poor bastards at this point. Can you really blame them? Reddit gives them no break. They haven’t given them a break for decades now. …hell, if Reddit tells them to remove shit, they just do it.
I’ve moderated unrelated web stuff for a bit and I can’t fathom how anyone can volunteer moderate stuff for extended period of time across a bunch of forums. Poor sods. Should have unionised or something.
Power tripping staff, thats it. Its getting closer and closer to fascism. Karma farming and echo-chambering.
And stupid sensitive snowflakes reporting everything they don’t like because butthurt
Geez what a bunch of insufferable twats
Shitty app.
Shitty web interface.
Corpo policies.I’m fully onboard with all the critique listed here, but I’m afraid I do still use R on a daily basis. Why? Because of sheer (and original / non-bot) traffic, I guess.
This tends to mean that highly-useful, knowledgeable, expert-level commentary is still produced there in significant quantities, even if it does mean sifting hard through the dreck to find it. And that stuff can be hugely useful to me.
That said, I feel like Lemmy has a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio, so it doesn’t have to be remotely as big as R in order to achieve the same level of usefulness, and indeed, L is certainly useful right here and right now.
But I guess the other thing is that most of the smaller and niche communities here could really use a membership boost. Maybe with the next reddit screw-up, that will happen, hehe.

I’ve not been using my main account for years now. I’ve had an alt account for discussions about sex and sexuality. I recently deleted that one because it was just utterly pointless now, and I won’t go back. Both the activity levels and quality of the discussion in sex subreddits has been plummeting in the recent years, and now, I just don’t know if the people who remain are just bots or what. The whole thing that was actually one of the things that Reddit could have had an advantage on, because they just allowed sex related subs to exist and didn’t care if it was profitable. But with so many people fleeing the site, there’s less and less of that critical mass of users to go around.
So niche discussions don’t work even when they’re definitely not “niche” discussions is top worst thing. The rest of top 20 things wrong with Reddit can be summarised as “admins are stupid and we hate 'em”
