People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.
They’ve basically banned anonymous accounts. Their whole thing was anonymity.
2025 is the year of the Lemmyverse!
Nice. Might as well leave my first comment here. Hi!
Welcome! We’ve got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@mander.xyz and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you’ll have to post before you can leave.
We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian “communists” who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the “gold standard”), but here they’re mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .ee account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
Exactly right… cm0002. If you don’t like a instance, block it with the tools given to you. Why haven’t you blocked .ml if you feel so strongly about this?
Solidarity amongst the instances! We will not be divided against each other!
For 2 months I was instance-banned and it was wonderful, but then your wonderful davel just couldn’t let that stand and then un-instance-banned me and re-banned me from individual comms instead for the sole purpose of allowing .ml users to brigade me
Anyways, there’s plenty of documentation of .ml’s Tankie behavior on lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works I don’t warn people about that Tankie problem for no reason
A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I’m in Europe and I don’t want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.
Woo more people to join our cult. Everyone will get their robes in the mail
Wait, I’ve been here almost 2 years, where’s my robes‽
Subjectively, Lemmy’s communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.
Yep, I discovered let me during the API Exodus, and then came back recently with this last wave. They’re definitely feels like there’s a lot more here than last time!
Also finding a lot of value in reading and actually interacting with comments and content, on Reddit I just felt kind of drowned out and a lurker
The problem is that communities feel dead if they’re below a certain critical mass of users and the resulting content. If we can hit that critical mass it will take off on its own
Yep we all need to get posting and chatting to encourage others
I’m trying to do my part
Love your name BTW its adorable
