I mean, with all the censoring and pandering to Musk, allowing for entire bot swarms to the point it really becomes obvious it’s happening - who could have predicted this?
That’s right, kids. Allying yourself with fascist tendencies in any way, shape or form will hurt you in the long run. Just provide the damn service people are looking for and stop playing god, trying to use your platform to shape opinions and censor statements you or your buddies don’t like.
Guessed as much with the wave of censorship many people, including myself, noticed and shared, pretty much exclusively to anti-MAGA opinions, and regardless of them being constructive and objective.
That, and the increase in bot activity in european and canadian subreddits, to the point it felt there were more pro-MAGA’s demotivating and belittling people trying to make a change, than actual europeans or canadians.
It’s one thing to not agree with my opinion, it’s a-ok with me and everyone has a right to it. I even agree with moderating extreme and violent statements when necessary. It’s another thing entirely to censor my opinion because you don’t like it. And on a forum like Reddit that’s inadmissible.
Nuked my account, changed to Lemmy and never looked back. And I’m happy for it. If you can’t take my opinion without trying to take my voice away I’ll just leave you alone in your echo chamber.
Funny. I thought Apple, Meta, Facebook and Google facing lawsuits in Europe over breaking EU laws was completely unfair, according to Mango Mussolini.
How (mo)ironic, as usual. 🙄
Nothing shady going on here, proceed with your day as usual, dumb citizen. 🤡
Yes, that’s excellent. We need our own Google suite. Fingers crossed so that it may come eventually.
Nice. Symbolism on point. 👌
I’m sure not-nazi Elon has everyone’s best interests at heart for going there, right? Right?..
Maybe he’s just looking for marketing data to improve his tanked tesla sales. Yeah, must be it.
That’s great to know, and will try to compare. Can’t say I had yet trouble with Jerboa, but then again only today did I start to nuke my reddit history - initiating the full switch to Lemmy. Any info is always welcome, stay well! 😁
Thank you so much for your perspective. I’ll be sure to check them out as soon as I can, and as I increasingly integrate myself in this platform. Cheers! 😄
Thank you for clarifying! Now I understand a bit more how it works. 😁
Hi! Great to be here, thanks! First Lemmy post ever, too.
I’m sure I’m not the first one in this Reddit exodus to mention this, but can we assume maybe there’s an interest in refining the Lemmy experience to be a bit more streamlined and user friendly? As in, simpler to navigate and less dependent in tech-saviness.
For example, I had some confusion just to create my Lemmy account, or even download and sign-in to the Jerboa app. There’s many Lemmy related pages and apps, which can be quite confusing and discouraging for most users showing interest in moving over. And I do consider myself tech-savvy, so I’m sure most people I know would just give up on it.
I know this is a somewhat sudden and unexpected move, and the last thing I want is to create unnecessary pressure on Lemmy, as these things take time, naturally.
Anyways I wish you well, and lots of success. I’ll try my best and make this platform my main reddit-like one.
I originally switched to Ecosia, loved it. Very identical to Chrome because, well, it’s chromium based. Still a food option, but I wanted to make a full swap.
So I reluctantly tried Vivaldi last week (with Ecosia as a search engine), because that’s 2 major changes to a browser this year, meaning migrating all data and setting stuff up, which is more bothersome than I have patience for under normal circumstances.
Yet, I must say I’m positively surprised by it. Loving Vivaldi so far, and I’m not even using all it has to offer.
