Making a conscious decision to leave social media that’s controlled by big companies that only exist to milk people for money. I’m tired of things being great until they’re not. Reddit is a cash cow for user data and it’s so full of bots and disinformation campaigns now.
I immediately noticed people are nicer here. I think a lot of it is that these are real people and not bots who are programmed to be argumentative.
I was done with redit toxicity.
I prefer this. Beehaw is my favorite. They're so nice over there. 💛🐝
I came hoping for more intelligent content and less middle-schoolish "I hate and if you don't hate it enough too you're EVIL!"
Found pretty much the same level of that, but I do like the UI better.
got banned for supporting Luigi. albeit a bit vocally.
I got banned from reddit and then i got banned here
I quit commenting at that site long ago but still lurk occaisionally in some technical sr's. It became too mean.
Arrived here in the process of USA boycott.
Me, arbitrary ass ban while using an alt trying to gain karma on the front page so I could post with it, my first comment insta banned all accounts permanently because I guess I was banned from that sub on my main/og account.
I got banned from one of my favorite subreddits, which made it a lot less fun over there.
✋
Came to Mastodon when Elon nabbed Twitter, came to Lemmy when the Reddit apps got stuffed. (Well, I originally got on Kbin, not Lemmy.)
Me, I'm getting constantly banned from r/Europe by this moronic mods.
Banned by writing about that Germany never paid anything to Poland for holocaust of Polish citizens
I'm reading worldnews rules on Lemmy. There should be lax rules, no ban whatsoever - only for pedophilia and obvious crime like drugs, terrorism, videos of murders
Came here originally for a pirate community in dbzero, mistakenly joined .ml, then finally joined World. Maybe PieFed is next, who knows. Never let them know your next move.
Jumped ship when that API shit started. I like this communities way more than a lot ob subreddits that have been around before.
I got banned too many times for telling people to punch Nazis. Eventually I was permad. Haven't really tried to circumvent it much because why would I want to use a platform that vehemently protects Nazis?
Yeah, got a few temp bans for talking about shitler/muskrat and they perma-banned my account for "harassment". The post they linked me to didn't even link to a comment; it wasn't something I remember posting on.
I was getting tired of the culture over there anyway. I was also tired of arguing with conservatives who think their shit doesn't stink and regurgitate Fox News talking points about the "illegals" and ICE.
That would be me for ban evasion this past week
I came here after deciding to quit reddit. I'm Canadian. I had no problems with reddit other than Trump's threats to annex (invade) Canada. I'm also joining my national brothers and sisters in the tariff boycotts.
