I don’t know if this is the right community, but I suppose it’s close enough.

You can’t even make posts like this on Reddit anymore, Reddit has become such a hog on the internet traffic it’s ridiculous. It wouldn’t be a problem if Reddit didn’t take such precious internet space.

They censor people, regular people who aren’t even doing anything too controversial. Reddit’s automated filters constantly remove people’s posts, only conformist content is allowed there, and so nothing of value remains. Just generic conformist post after another generic conformist post.

Why is this platform still popular is honestly just beyond me at this point. No really, can someone please, please explain to me why do people keep using this broken website anymore?

    Honestly atp the censorship isn’t even the worst of it. Go to Lemmy.ml, say anything bad against China and see how it goes. Many Lemmy communities are no better.

    No the worst of reddit is the fact that it’s a data-mining operation at this point, with age checks and a complete Mishandling of your user data (everything is indexed and easy to search even if you set your profile to private…)

      Even better: don’t go to any ML instance and enjoy increased happiness and mental wellbeing.

      I haven’t found it (if it exists) is there a way to block all posts and comments from Lemmy.ml users? I may start my own instance to do so
