    I like it more here because I don’t get banned for saying I think more conservatives should drink raw milk so they’ll get listeria and die

    They took my app dammit. Twice actually, I’d been on alien blue. I’d rather put up with you people than their awful app

        You can still use RiF through unofficial patches. I do. I’m here because the bots and hidden account history is just too much to know if I’m even talking to a real person anymore.

          I still have a reddit account, but I mostly only use it to look at video game development stuff, and even that is getting less useful with all the AI slop out there.

    Bottom left. I was curious. Also I thought maybe, just maybe europe.pub would not be 90% posts about USA and Trump. How naive I was! Turns out I just found a second reddit, and it’s occasionally good!

    I was device and IP banned for saying Americans needed to have the Guillotines in the streets.

    I stand by what I said lol.

        How is calling for accountability a good reason for banning?

        They disagree with my level of accountability but I keep getting proven correct.

        Fuck Donald Trump and anyone who supports him, his fascist admin, etc.

        Bring back shaming/punching fascists.

          Dude why did you delete your original reply. I wasn’t being serious and your original reply perfectly mirrored the mood.

    6/9 also the algorithm change in r/popular was the most damning. Reddit says that ICE is suddenly cool?

    Trump threatened greenland, had all the tech bros at his inauguration and one of them was high on ketamine and heiling, so I figured it was time to leave as many American social media platforms as possible.

    The only one I still use is youtube and that’s in a logged out state and in a browser.

    Can’t say I miss Facebook, Instagram and reddit. It’s been over a year and I barely think about it nowadays.

    I have my issues with Lemmy, but you can filter out most of the bs so at this point it’s mostly memes, animal photography and other wholesome stuff that’s left in my feed. Life is good.

    For the vast majority of Fediverse users, it was either Elon Musk’s announcement in February, 2022, to buy out Twitter, or Elon Musk’s actual Twitter buyout in October, 2022.

    Followed by a tweet that must have looked something like this:

    join mastodon its literally twitter without musk https://mastodon.social/

    As for me, I joined the Fediverse long before there was Lemmy, long before there was even Mastodon, even before it was named Fediverse. I stumbled upon a free, open-source, self-hostable alternative to Facebook that even had features beyond Facebook.

    Ppl are less insufferable here. Aside from an occasional tankie or Xi bot trying to convince me that having the same ruler for 15 years is good for you actually, we’re vibin’

      I hear this a lot but never see it. Not entirely sure how the whole thing works but I think you’d be happier on an instance like the one I’m on, where they’ve blocked the instance(s) hosting the worst of what you describe whilst still promoting a healthy amount of progressive/socialist values.

      15 years? I like your optimism. They were last seen discussing how to extend human life beyond 150 by organ transplants.

    These are all lemmy-related. What brought me to the fediverse was Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.

    I was using Mastodon long before I started using Lemmy.
