Is anyone else just enjoying seeing people create actual user names again and not just using the automatically generated ones reddit has done for awhile?
Reddit’s auto moderation has gone haywire. You can’t say anything bad about nazis now.
I legit got permabanned for implying that fascists deserve the fate of Mussolini.
Insane.
They can nazi how bad that is for them either
A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I’m in Europe and I don’t want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.
Then you’ll be happy to know that Lemmy is 100% EU funded.
That’s really good to see. But it will be far more interesting to see what the numbers are a month and longer are from now. If they don’t stick, it’s pretty meaningless.
They won’t all stick. That’s just the nature of things, no site/game/service/what-have-you boasts a 100% retention rate. Hell, not even heroin does. But with every MAU bump, some amount of them do stick around, and with every such increase to the baseline MAUs we get closer to critical mass.
If you are here and want lemmy to succeed, please consider donating. The devs used to get by mostly by nlnet foundation grants but are trying to shift to a more sustainable donation based model. You can see how they are doing on the join-lemmy website when you scroll down to the bottom, there are also links to their liberapay (preferred option) paetreon, etc.
I donated monthly for almost 2 years, and they never even added me on the donator page. Petty reason, but at this point I don’t even know how much they care.
Is this something that should be really celebrated? I mean, the reason I joined is because it’s not reddit. And I feel that this place will turn into reddit 2.0 if we’re not careful.
Absolutely it should be celebrated.
Once enough users are here, you can join a niche small instance that doesn’t federate with as many mainstream ones to get that small community vibe. (Or better yet, make your own instance to build what you want)
The more people using federated social media instead of single-entity controlled social media the better for society.
Just like it was in the early internet.
And here comes the fun part: It can’t turn into Reddit 2.0. If you don’t like the policy of your Instance, just join an Instance that fits you more, or create one your own.
Hey look! I’m a statistic! Not the one I expected.
This is probably active ones too, so the ones that don’t comment (like me) don’t count… except this time. I would say it would be around same size as the active ones, but I have no data to prove that.
I think voters started being counted a while back? I’ll see if I can find the release notes.
Edit: there we go, from the docs.
An active user is someone who has posted, commented, or voted on our instance or community within the last given time frame.
And I am glad I am one of them. Not because of an anti-US sentiment (as in: towards American citizens) but as more pro-Europe move.
as if that’s not the same
It’s not the same
right, Europe only does the same as vasals
What does “active” mean in this context? Is giving an upvote or opening the app enough, or do I need to write a comment/post?
A vote is a “mini comment”.
Iirc an up or down vote is the bare minimum for activity
Hopefully even more people will join as Reddit gets shittier and shittier.
got permaban on 5+accts because reddit did what similar pornhub did, sanatize the site and only corporate content was left. it was getting increasingly hard to comment as anything other than right wing comments.
That’s what I think happened to me, seems weird that so many of us are getting banned at the same time. It’s different for me though, I get banned or downvoted to oblivion if I express any right wing ideas. It’s 98% leftist there now it seems. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ban r/conservative entirely this year.
I think the opposite happening more than that
Which subs pray tell?
Yep I’m concerned they’ll do that too. They’ll find some posters in r/conservative that are inappropriate and use that as an excuse to ban. The sad thing is conservative is overall really open to other ideas and open discussion! Say anything not left on reddit and you get torn apart which is horrible.
Would just be nice to be able to have open dialogue instead of all this tribalism and rage and arson and violence and assault and whatnot. Seems like a fair ask but everyone has lost their minds lately it seems.
I know I can’t fathom it. It honestly frightens me. The lefts behaviour is a big reason I swung right, tolerance and acceptance of difference is important to me and a chunk of left just aren’t like that anymore. If r/conservative were openly behaving like many left wingers on reddit they’d rightly be condemned. It’s so wrong
there was a massive uptick of shadowbanns, and permabans around the week of feb 12, i think reddit is purging as much as they can right now. reddit, huffman wants to sell off the site asap.
That’s around when my account was 7-day suspended, early Feb. Interesting.
Yes I ended up on a forum funny enough they all cooberated with their own experiences,. The thing is some of the bans don’t make sense at all. I attempted to appeal at least 3 accounts that received the vague site wide ban message, all denied. I think they only will consider the original banned account that triggered all the other ones. Before you could just use a new or different account and avoiding the banned sub, but they decided to ban it anyways
This is my first time here. I do not abide thought policing. Fuck Reddit, fuck Spez.
don’t worry, you have that here too. A lot less but still.
Welcome! To the good place
its thier OVERPOLICING that was the problem, it wouldve been fine if all they did was ban actual BOTS, you know the propaganda ones, but nope they went after everyone more aggresively than they did the above mentioned bots.
What happened around February 12?
hexbear.net defederated due to domain ownership issues, since resolved. sounds like they’re aiming to be refederated by the end of the month.
Hexbear issues
Maybe defederation or privatization
Always happy to see the Fediverse getting more popular! 😃
Lets just have each of us 50k post about Lemmy over on Reddit.
Can’t. Banned for a 3-month old post supporting Luigi.
Clearly the inferior Mario brother.
they went after your acct of 3month old post? im not surprised i find if i dont delete some comments some user was going into Old POSTS AND reporting it.
I got one person to try it! In eattherich. I thought about deleting my 15yr account but that is a much better use of it
I should have used a code to change all my posts/comments to an advertisement for Lemmy. What are the going to do, ban me??
you can use powersuite delete, or shreddit. i rather just delete, so it wont get reported down the line.
