They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
Man he’s such a little fucking snowflake isn’t he?
Which one, (fuck) spez or the Nazi saluting trust fund baby?

¿Porque los dos?
Yes
That is a very good question.
So much so that he’s a goddamn puddle at this point
Reddit died June 2023
I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse
Same, once they violated certain principles, it was clear the site was dead. We need to do our best to build lemmy into something. It’ll take years.
Some people are just into that kind of thing.
I feel like as an A’s fan. The same thing happened to Reddit. Owners turned it into a shit hole.
As a fellow A’s fan I completely agree this analogy.
IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.
Luigi
Because they have a monopoly on old and especially niche knowledge/communities (also new niche knowledge/communities). As much as I hate it, that’s why I personally still have to use reddit sometimes.
Just goes to show how easy it is to get these people upset.
Just call them out
Call them often
Call them out every day
Never stop calling them out … you’ll know they’re listening when someone either tells you or forces you to stop.
Nazis and authoritarians every single one of them.
Is this the “free speech” everyone in 'Murica is talking 'bout?
Musk bought twitter because he wanted free speech…
Ironic huh
Nah, he wanted to modify what was being said. He blocked and oppressed views he didn’t like. It was never free speech. It was always oppression.
I don’t even think he new the possibilities of what he can do with Twitter before he bought it. He bought it and after that he needed something to do with this shit pile and found the solution in manipulation and illegal election donation
I think he had to enter into agreements about content in order to get financing from the Saudis and Russians.
Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around trying to manipulate the stock price and accidentally made an agreement he couldn’t back out of. He tried. He failed. He was forced to buy it according to the terms he previously specified.
I hate my conspiricy theory minded family but if someone told me they had proof Musk expressly bought Twitter to get right wing power in America and used the buyer’s remorse stock price manipulation attempt gone south as a cover story?
I’d believe it.
- He’s dumber than you give him credit for
- What is the point of the supposed cover story? To cover from who, about what? He’s literally paying people to vote, again. Next to that, buying a social media to influence it almost sounds democratic.
The reason that conspiracy theory is appealing is the same for all conspiracy theories; it’s more comforting to think the powerful have a clever masterful evil plan than the sad reality that we’re all making it up as we go, even the literal Nazis.
Once you are there, start wondering if Trump is really that mad or if they are implementing an old Nixon plan.
He did. Free speech for bigots that is.
Well, wanted to own a mechanism of free speech so he could control it.
Not ironic when you realize it’s this but literally. He wants to own all speech.
Honestly, say something useful or keep it to yourself, OK? These lil ‘gotcha’ comments do nothing but take up space and make you feel a misplaced sense of having done something (when you’ve in fact, done nothing).
Stuff like this comment, the mango Mussolini comments, the evil Cheeto comments, it all just fucking does nothing while still making people feel like they’re being transgressive. You’re not. It diverts energy from doing/talking about stuff that affects real change.
That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
Same. Just created my account
I think we chose well.
Welcome fellow former redditor!
I’ve been here for about a month, switching bettween this and Reddit, while still mostly using Reddit. This made me leave Reddit completely. This and getting banned for 3 days for upvoting a comment was the final straw.
Similar final straw for me.
I had wrote an anti putin thing under a post of Selenskyj where he stated putin will soon die, I confirmed that I hope so too and got like 400 upvotes and a hour or two later got deleted and a 3 day ban.
Since democracy is literally built on murdering fascists and monarchs (or just authoritarians in generel), it seems pretty wild to me that it’s seen as a radical belief that they should die. If we’re forced to tolerate leaders whose claim to power is based on supressing and murdering dissidents in an effort to quash democratic thought, what in the actual fuck are we supposed to do to?
I’m surprised that the loss of 3rd party apps almost 2 years ago wasn’t the final straw for y’all, but either way I’m glad you finally made it here.
That’s when I made the switch. I can’t believe it’s been that long already.
Yeah same, I guess time flies when you’re bombarded with shit 24/7
I should go. <3
Yeah that was when I finally left too. I just didn’t think it was worth it if I had to use the website or their crappy app
I’ve been using an unofficial Infinity For Reddit version since then, so it didn’t really make a difference for me.
In over 2 decades of internet, i can safely say banning users for upvoting things is the most ridiculous thing i’ve ever seen a discussion board do. Just remove upvotes at this point and have the feed curated by Lord Muskrat.
Unlike others, i didn’t get banned from Reddit, i just wanted to get a head-start learning this site, because Reddit is on the way to become X2.
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
I’m brand new as well and hopeful but wow the smaller forums here need some love. The topic variety is small to the point where maybe straight up bot cloning subreddits here where posts on Reddit just get reposted to their Lemmy equivalent to kick start refugees feeling at home. Plus if there’s basically cross platform discussion posts it gives ground for users of existing subreddits to migrate.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Think of it of getting in at the ground floor, where we’ll create topics and in-jokes that will be repeated ad nauseum for decades!
🔝⬆️THIS⬆️🔝 To the top with you!
Somebody gild this!
I tip my
fedorahat to you kind gentlesir! Updoots to the left!
Beans!
Oh my god the flood of beans and denim jeans content was ridiculous, I used Lemmy less for a while.
Bean betrayal. Mo’ beans, mo’ better.
But to be honest, I didn’t really like the denim.
I have yet to come across a repost community here that actually gets any comments on the posts. I wound up unsubscribing from all of them because they just clog up my feed.
I definitely have wanted to but wasn’t sure if I should since no one else had. I should have just done it.
Yeah that’s likely what everyone else thinks too. Someone has to start the discussion 😆
I got here because they killed Apollo 🫶🏻 never forget
I use Voyager now for lemmy
Welcome, fellow ex redditor.
Thanks :)
same!
Welcome for both of us! :)
Welcome to the party!
Welcome friend!!
Yep, Reddit pushed me this way too, but I’m much happier. Welcome!
Welcome here!
One more reason to use Lemmy.
This story compelled me to finally commit to using Lemmy.
Grab some beans, make yourself at home.
Beans?
It’s kinda lemmy lore I guess.
Beans was a wave of shitposts from about 16 months ago where poeple kept posting a bunch of beans in various forms and the whole feed was mostly beans.You’ll also stumble upon the “3 days no poop” thing where someone asked a question in asklemmy I think about how to avoid shitting for 3 days.
I think they later deleted their account, but they were very mysterious about why and people genuinely came with ideas for them and it snowballed into its own thing.Unrelated, but similar to the poop knife, if only in the inside joke / lore kinda thing.
Been on lemmy for two years and didnt see any of that
Now you have.
Oooh these. Yeah no now i remember
Hell yeah. Welcome!
Thank you, I’m glad to be here! 😁
Thank you for not immediately going to “world”, just because it has the most users.
I got banned from r/comics for calling out US imperialism. Got called a Russian propagandist 😵 And now here I am :)
I got banned from Reddit because I made a suggestion on what should happen to a violent bull terrier dog that attacked a family member
And they had a child
No free speech on Reddit
I think they have people move in to moderator roles that can choose to ban people who disagree with their opinions
I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell” - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.
Hmm, sounds like your freedom of speech was suppressed, at least according to the standard Elon espouses. I wonder why he now feels so strongly about doing the opposite thing from what he wanted before. 🤔
I look at Reddit like I look at Facebook. Both are trash and have outlived their use. If you have a profile on either one, delete it or at least delete the app.
Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.
But all things have a Golden Era, and then it’s enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.
Yeah, and try as we might, we haven’t been able to replicate its biggest selling point. It was unfortunately also its greatest vulnerability regarding the corporatetake over.
It was a central location from which thousands of large, niche communities could be found.
Lemmy is great, but the decentralized nature of it also fragments small communities and makes it hard for them to launch. I was super active of the Scuba subreddit, but on Lemmy, there are like 8 scuba communities spread across the instances, but they’re all so small there’s no activity on them, and that fragmentation makes it difficult for one to reach the necessary critical mass to become active.
I can likely fall into some version of a category of learned professional. IMO, it’s fine, many of us have made our migration to Lemmy. Reddit can burn.
A bit weird that there isn’t the same cultivation of professionalism though. I feel I don’t see much of it here like there was on Reddit. Makes me wonder if Reddit worked behind the scenes to create it
Narrator: they didn’t.
I think there probably did.
I don’t disagree necessarily but this is a very euphoric way to phrase it
Gonna hijack your comment to shill:
“The only platform that allows you to automatically clean up your old posts from services like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Discord, and more, all in one place.”
Shadow banned for making a very popular post about how to make DIY Luigi Mangione prayer candles using dollar tree candles, printer and a glue stick on witches vs patriarchy
That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.
I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.
Not the karma 😱 Bunch of weirdos
I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.
When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.
When I hear of a Redditor be like this I yearn to do things…
How much bullying at school must have taken place for someone to… no actually I remember there were people at school like this and this was the reason they were bullied in the first placeAbsolute losership of the highest order <spitting onomatopeia>
Words cannot describe how subhuman Redditors are
Orange sludge not even fit to lubricate the smallest gears of the society.
Well anyway, one has to enjoy the great sunny weather today with bbq and sun baths on my summer property so that’s about the amount of attention this topic deserves.
deleted by creator
Well then have some modicum of self control and respect and do not fall straight into their stuff.
Besides, it’s not even about karma you see. It’s just that these “people” if you can call them that, are most opinionated yet most moronic units you could ever come across.
No sympathy for Redditors and their precious accounts
“Just don’t get addicted to the thing designed to be addictive. It’s easy bro.”
Stop feeding the troll.
Just don’t be a loser
If they didn’t leave after all the crap Reddit has pulled in the last year, they aren’t going anywhere.
Reddit is solidly shitlib. They easily get more upset over policy than their own lack of influence over policy. These are people who think the elites care about petitions.
Everything from the last year pointed to this, they just had to see it.
I did. I got banned for “Musk fuming is fatally toxic”. The platform is dead now. I bet he has good dirt on Huffman.
+1
Reddit has been compromised by the oligarchs.
I just left after twenty years. I warned them about overly censoring in their research calls but I guess they didn’t want to listen
Jesus has it been 20 years now? I’m old
I turn 40 on 4-20. We’re old now homie
You’re a wee babby. After the next few blinks, you’ll be 62 like me. Make the years count and don’t work for some corporate overlord anymore t than you have to.
Just a couple years behind you brother 😩
It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.
Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.
when it was good, it was real good. Every subject I could want in one place, and I could organize it as I wish.
Lemmy is a confusing mess and lacking in basic features compared to reddit (although there’s probably front ends I could download that would fix my complaints).
Obviously, I’m here, so the inconvenience is an acceptable price for not being on reddit anymore.
I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.
eventually, imma have to actually look into lemmy front ends or clients. I stand by the statement that I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll prolly have a better time of things if I did.
World is already heading that way. It’s one of the few instances that requires your “real” email address and has deleted political threads.
This is the exact catalyst that finally brought me over to Lemmy
Same. I had JUST said to someone last night that I’d never been banned or even warned, though I’d said plenty stuff on the violently anti fascist end of things. A few hours later, I get a warning, though they didn’t say for which comment. Thankfully, someone told me about her!
Her?
I got a 7 day platform ban for calling someone a virgin lmao
Wait. Here? Or on Reddit? Either way…ugh.
On reddit
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing
Trump committed treason on jan 6th, 2021. That is enough reason to hang him, and yet he still breathes.
You can’t just cite established law without thinking about what Musk/Trump think. What do you think this is, a democracy?
I said justice would’ve seen Trump tried on January 7th and hung on January 8th. That got me a soft ban. Then I said kill all Nazis but six and save them for pallbearers. That got me a permaban. Tearing the bandaid off on 12 years of comments and posts hurt but so far I like the attitude of Lemmy a lot better. It feels like real conversation instead of just shitposting and trolling.
Fun Fact: you should be wiping all comments and posts on every socmed platform at LEAST once a month.
Which reminds me that I am overdue on THIS one.
Why? So the Nazis don’t find us? I feel like the only possible conclusion to this is a civil war because most of us don’t want to live in moronville
Seems too easy on him. I like the hanging. Or the drugs that work so badly.
Personally I couldn‘t care less about moderator outrage. Just read the room already and leave. No amount of kicking and screaming will take the platform off the hands of technofascists. You‘re clearly not valued there so why would they care if you cry about their decisions? Just grow a spine already.
Exactly, use the power of creation and make it all together in one day
Reddit is becoming such a shit hole anyway, the site barely functions on mobile browser now, half the time it has API errors or fails to load.
I can vouch for this as well
So surprised! /s
