I love that idea, thanks. There are smaller communities on there that are going to be hard to replace for information and news on some of my more obscure interests.

Yep, I've been flirting with Lemmy for a year and a half and come here every time Reddit really pisses me off or bans me for something I would have never been banned for 10 years ago.
I'm not flirting with it anymore. This recent batch of censorship is too much. It's the last straw. Deleted my Reddit account for good. I can still use it as a resource to get answers to questions without needing an account.
That’s ultimately what pissed me off into deleting my account. If I even say the name Luigi my post is automatically shadow removed? I don’t want to spend any time on a platform like that.
Finally deleted my account there just now. Place is so far removed from the principles it was founded on. Guess I'll be here a lot more... but hopefully spending less time doom scrolling in general.
Yeah, thank you. My post was really just a "if things get bad enough, I can always blow my brains out which gives me a strange sense of comfort" sort of thing and it was flagged as threats of violence... against myself I guess? Silly. I will of course do my best to not let things get to that point and try to look for the positives in life.
Yeah, I was banned for talking about suicidal thoughts, so they’re definitely going to ban me if I say Luigi Mangione is my hero and did a beautiful thing.
I swear I went from like 2008-2015 without a single encounter with a mod. Then it became a lot of posts being deleted for breaking arbitrary rules. Then it became constant harassment by these power tripping dorks and bans that were often unjust. Then the third party apps were ripped away so they could put ads in every 5 posts and then inside the comments. I bitched about all of this nonsense but stayed… Now it’s AI moderating, shadow removal of posts, being unable to say the name Luigi in any context, and warnings/bans for simply upvoting posts that go against the official corporate narrative. I won’t stay for that nonsense.
