Basically what I mean is, did you also come here from reddit?
I came here after I got my Reddit account banned permanently. And the thing is, I don’t exactly know why I got banned. Nor what I did wrong. I always tried to follow the rules, post and comment appropriately and nicely, but on New Year’s Day last week, I got a message simply saying "Your account have been permanently banned for violating the rules.
But when I replied asking what rule or rules I unknowingly broke, they just messaged me back saying “you got banned because you violated the community guidelines”. So now I’m here.
What about you? Are you also a Reddit Refugee?
I came here and leave Reddit forever because I am trying to use less US products and services. Right now I don’t know how to bypass Microsoft and Google. Everything else is easy (like forgetting about Reddit or not drinking Coca Cola).
If you can afford and are not relying on games get a mac. I mean it’s still US but it is soooo much better and less enshitticated than windows. Regarding Google you can switch to a European cloud use duckduckgo or stuff for search, there are plenty foss alternatives to maps and for YouTube you can check out grayjay. It’s a bit tedious but it’s possible and as convenient as big tech products
It’s also really nice not to have a continuous doom scroll. You can really only go for like an hour on the front page here until the places start becoming really esoteric. I’m which case not interesting or very interesting. But it’s not active enough to provide you with a whole day of gloom. And I kinda like that.
