A lot of good people need to make the switch.

I still browse and almost caught myself commenting recently. I quickly backspaced and exited out and came over here where I feel safe posting comments and interacting.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

its too easy to gett banned there now, even a simple comment removal will trigger a shadown ban in many cases, plus a VPN would result in a ban eventually.

Activity that isn't political shit.

Convenience of blocking. Voyager is absolute ass in this regard.

Being able to conveniently filter out entire subreddits. (Actually I say that but I did have multiple cases where the block list just straight up stopped working.)

The echo chamber also feels way stronger here. It's tiring. Especially the ACAB wank, which hasn't improved with the rise of Nazi America.

I do occasionally go back to reddit for that one. I don't think video heavy subs will make it here in lemmy's current state.

absolutely nothing.

[–] auginator@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

My points or whatever. I used to be a huge pot head and made some content people really liked so I had some nice numbers.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

the OG communities, that were banned in '16-'17 because the gop started labeling alot of platforms as violent. P45 caused so many people to be overly sensitive, that reddit started banning in large numbers to cull the herd.

and most cities subreddits have been taken over by right wingers.

r/libraryofbabel, r/tragedeigh, and r/everyoneknowsthat. But I can live without them.

Tragedeigh gets depressing sometimes as someone who had a horrible name growing up. Libraryofbabel kinda encourages my maladaptive daydreaming and honestly creating !0x255@sh.itjust.works wasn't the best for trying to break out of my daydreaming addiction.

However I can get my Who's Who updates somewhere else. Everyone knows ~~that~~ it, you've got ulterior motives!

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Mostly the funny memes but also nothing else

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 5 days ago

r/twobestfriendsplay, the second best subreddit for everything

[–] ProteanG6777@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Most subs i follow have a discord anyway, so mostly on discord. For the subs not on discord, I use alternative measures viz; a. ChubbyFire - I still check the space out

b. r4r- I Resort to other pay for play NSFW apps.
