Airing of Grievances Part I: We are not the same.
The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won't be going offline in 2 weeks.
I'm a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I'm decent, you see?
Are we the same person? I was on lemon.ee for a month before it shut down. Then actually jumped to another account after hexbear when I started to find out more about them.
I want this read at my funeral
I'll try to stop by?
Many of the people here were banned from reddit for being unbearable and they learned nothing
Yea, reddit api thing burned that bridge, been happy ever since.
Same, but kind of sucky sharing a perimeter with authoritarians and the worst kind of anarchists. If Lemmy were a physical location and not an online space I'd be sleeping fully armed.
Same, I always used third party clients since they create awful stuff. When the clients stopped working, I stopped going and started using lemmy.
I came here because I was permabanned from all os Reddit because I wrote an elevator lie about. A fictitious lie about a cheese man roaming the campus late at night
Edit:I’m sorry I can’t make this coherent I’m knocked badly
Are you sure it was a lie ?
To be fair @[email protected]
You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.
Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡
Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.
Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.
I've been perma-banned from reddit a bunch and I eventually just got tired of making new accounts lol.
heheh they use some kind of fingerprinting, a combination of your OS, ISP IP, and browser. At some point you can't keep creating new accounts.
I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.
I like it here for the most part but I don’t like the reddit tendencies. Stuff we solved many years ago there. Why is it not great anymore?
People ruin everything.
Oh geez, Rick... These guys sure like their echo chambers...
YeURRRPep, Morty. Duh... How else would CoOURRRRGHPOommunism sound like a good idea?
Fediverse users who are here because uhh privacy
Lemmy is not, and never has been private. It's highly public
Its private in that it doesn't collect data about you, besides what you provide yourself.
I'm really sorry to hear you burnt out and of your experience. Thanks for all you have done for threadiverse and tesseract. Hope you get a peace of mind after 31st.
Little of column A, little of column B.
Why not both?
The bans are mostly meaningless these days tho. Its so easy to make a new account and bypass detections.
Aw shoot, we're the 2b2t of forums?
Depends on what they were banned for.
Why after that not so much? I’ve only been using lemmy since and I didn’t notice a huge difference
Ohh an "I am holier than thou" posts!
I almost missed them.
