Why not just move here permanently and kill your Reddit since they clearly demonstrated they don’t want you there?
I mean, I wasn’t ever banned from Reddit, but I left on my own before that would’ve inevitably happened since I had some comments sniped for BS before they started ramping up the censorship there, and I don’t plan on ever going back.
Because reddit had more niche communities that I was into and it’s way more populated which is to be expected, but I also love how open this website seems so far, my main gripe with Reddit is that if you are a new account you are pretty much fucked, I’m not against moderation but Reddit overdoes it.
There are some subreddits that I miss but there’s also usually a lot less bullshit here. The giant “fuck you” to third party app developers was the last straw for me. I wasn’t even in that group but that pretty much told me where reddit was heading and I wasn’t willing to go along with it. But, there’s probably quite a few people here who still use Reddit. Either way, welcome!
There isn’t enough of a population to get a good small niche community going. Also it can be difficult to find the community in the first place. The fight stick community on Reddit is very active. On Lemmy it has been around for a while and remains completely dead.
I’m not against it, It’s just I used reddit for everything regarding news and I overral liked engaging with posts but it’s always like I had this fear that if I say something wrong I would get banned by a moderator or something.
Also the permament ban thing is really harsh for me it should exist for posting REALLY FUCKED UP stuff, not because you posted something and a bot happened to snipe it.
Your real concern should be that Spez gets to censor what you’re reading in a real way.
Not only does he get to remove stuff that counters his narrative, he also can allow certain types of narratives to flood the site.
Editorial control is huge, and giving that to Spez seems insane to me. That, along with Facebook, 4chan, and every other social media is certainly how we got a shitty president who was basically nobody relevant until 2015.
Before the api changes killed transparency tools, you could look at the censorship that reddit was doing. Literally 97% of posts that reached the front page were deleted.

Why not start your own niche community and then share it here?

Sounds like stockholm syndrome to me

I can’t stress this enough.

I feel like we’re slowly growing here, lots of very rich communities have been built now.
But yes, my city and hobby communities are still a ghost town. We don’t have critical mass on lots of stuff yet.
Why not make those niche communities here?
