Watch this: Luigi is a hero
Just made an account here ten minutes ago. The format feels weird but it’s nice to be able to continue talking like sensible people without getting banned for it. Feels good, man.
I spent an hour last night interacting with and outing ruzzian trolls on Reddit. There was no doubt these were ruzzians, because after a couple of tit-for-tat comments, they use terms like “we” when talking about ruzzias invasion of Ukraine. They all knew what Yandex was without asking or querying it, as a non ruzzian would. In some comments I explained why ruzzia is a third world shithole country, because I’ve been there. I told a couple to go dig babushka a fresh latrine pit, and a couple others how good they’d look fertilizing sunflowers in Kursk Woke up today, and I’ve been permanently banned “for inciting violence”. Reddit is a hive full of ruzzian trolls and bots, and the moderators appear to support them. I don’t think I’ll bother creating another account lol.
Hello folks! Found out I was banned this morning and spent all day trying to figure out an alternative. All for liking a post that said Trump raped a girl. Oh well. He did rape a girl so wtf?
Thats wrongthink. Double plus ungood.
Same here! My second 7-day site-wide suspension, I’m guessing ban next. I got flagged with warnings for upvoting something related to Luigi as “violating the rules by upvoting hate posts.” It’s like fucking 1984 over there now.
Info: was the article pro or con re: Trump’s child rape? You would likely not have been banned by reddit had it been pro Trump’s child rape.
It’s why I’m here. 12 year member, nearly a million in karma, perma-banned for repeating a statement I’d made many times in the past with no repercussions. The first time I repeated it after HitlerPig stole the election, I was fully banned.
It’s happening because Ohanion wants to buy TikTok, and he knows HitlerPig will be personally making the decision, based on who smooched his ass the most, and who paid the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he’s volunteering to make Reddit a member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I hope Reddit goes the way of Digg.
so…trump and musk want russia to take Ukrain and then all of Europe after that i take it.
Whatever Putin wants, Trump wants.
Trump is a disgusting pervert anyway. He’s been with Epstein and just bends over to Putler. If his knees, small hands, and tiny dick still can handle it, that is.
Anyone else see Reddit’s stock tank 20% yesterday?
if it goes below 100 then I’m gonna celebrate
I’ll celebrate when it goes below a dollar and gets delisted

Feels like they promote lemmy the same way microsoft promotes linux
Basically yes. The alternatives passively become better simply because of the mainstream option becoming worse over time. I think it’s still going too slowly in general but I’m not complaining, better slow than not at all.
Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I’m not sure that’ll continue once it’s the size of Reddit. We’ll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there’s pros and cons.
Not quite… It’s easiest to game on Windows still. I’d love to move to Linux, though. But, alas, this year is not your year still. Crucify me if you wish, but this is the truth. So say a simple gamer that knows more than you do if you’re peddling Linux as the best option in early 2025.
Reddit full bore banned me for saying “I should have a legal right to punch nazis” and declined my appeal.
Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that’s not a joke it’s terrifying.
Reddit is aligned with the corporate overlords of the US, which are nazi aligned.
I haven’t been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing “Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”
I find that answer amazing and I will adopt it from now on to all the orange guy followers, cheers
Go forth with my blessings.
Not very civil of you dear…
Tbh you can catch bans for that here but beauty of fediverse is that power tripping mods have limited ability to ban you fedi wide so freedom enjoyer’s just go do their discourse on other sub’s and servers
To be fair, that’s kinda deserved. You could experience the same here.
There are plenty of other reasons to hate on Reddit, but acting in a fairly civil manner should be expected.
Glad to have you here though! 😊
Banning people who aren’t “safe spacey enough” is fucking stupid.
People can be abrasive. People can be mean. People will absolutely take your shit if you let them.
Hiding from them in a bubble doesn’t make them disappear (and shockingly sometimes they have points to make).
Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.
It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.
what a cop out. there’s no functional difference between an idiot that works to advance nazi ideologies and the same but they have a swastika tattoo on their neck. to resist fascism means to confront ALL fascists. it’s not about disagreement or people you dont like, most people are using ur-fascism as their default definition and umberto eco has a fucking 14 point checklist we’re using. to act like it’s so arbitrary is completely out of touch.
Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.
I’ve been hearing this for years, and yet, literal neo-nazis are running the us government now. But go ahead and keep using the anti-woke rhetoric lol.
Exactly! Literal nazis in government, calling them out does nothing! Very few people are taking it seriously.
Nazis thrive on diluting language—twisting words like “freedom” and “patriotism” to serve their agenda. Ironically, the same thing happens when “Nazi” gets thrown around carelessly. Mislabeling people weakens the term, but so does refusing to acknowledge real extremists. Precision matters—both in calling out threats and in resisting linguistic manipulation.
This feels very much like the migration from tiktok to rednote. Hi everyone.
But without the Chinese censorship (as long as you stay away from tankie instances).
I haven’t noticed any censorship yet, but then again, I’m not talking shit about China.
There are a lot of instances. Some are more lax than others. I’d recommend avoiding world, it’s best if you lot spread out.
We’re hereeeee! Also Luigi is a national treasure.
To me, getting banned from Reddit (without being a dick) it’s a medal of honor. Guess I’ll have to try harder…
I went out with a bang. Coincidentally, implying that such things should happen to the Muskrat and pedophile dictator too.
The latter getting a golden pager from Netty the Butcher was my highlight snark. And telling off the idiots at LSC was a good bit of satisfaction for myself.
I miss being able to interact with certain smaller subreddits for particular interests, but that’s about it.
I genuinely don’t know if there’d be enough of a following to see an active Blakes 7 group over here. That’s my biggest loss tbh.
Not too hard anymore. Say Luigi or upvote Luigi a day you’re getting the ban hammer.
They turned “woke”, eh?
Reddit has indeed enshittified.
US out Ukraine in!
The thought police have been running roughshod over us since the Orange Idiot took over. You know what that means.
What put me off Reddit was my perception that most of the very active users are toxic. Some of the users seem to enjoy bashing everything and anything that they slightly disagreed with and it has reached it’s tipping point for me. It seems to me that they are exceptionally lacking in personal development and critical thinking and it ruins what makes the platform great. I’m hoping this platform doesn’t end up like Reddit.
Totally. I just said yesterday, that r/europe and r/buyfromeu are the only subreddits, who are actually friendly right now and don’t lynch you for stating a non-threatening opinion.
r/europe turned into a radical right cesspool a few years ago. I’m skeptical whether they are not now.
Haven’t heard from the latter, but I commend that idea of buying locally.
Why was OP banned?
Great introduction to Lemmy, might as well teach people we’re no better than reddit
Fucking disgusting internet janitors
Why was OP banned?
Underage user.
