I came here when all the API drama happened, and I didn't even use third party apps, I just decided that I didn't want to help make that greedy little pig boy any money. Even still, I'm actually shocked that they've cracked down this hard. It's hard to take serious, because it seems like they would destroy their userbase with this, but they're doing it.

A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.
There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.
It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

I finally made the jump. Hi all.
Hello blorps!
oh its been fun, yeah
i love seeing spez fuck himself into a corner
Finally jumped ship after I had a third account banned.
same same. tired of being banned for borderline comments.
Got perma-banned from a 15 year old account for joking about Elon Musk needing to get Luigi-ed. Fuck that place. Never going back.
Elon needs to have a come to Luigi moment. Welcome to the free internet, sibling. Btw fyi, .world tends to be a little more aggressively moderated than some other instances like .ee; it's nowhere near Reddit, and I wouldn't even say it's problematic, but folks have taken issue with their moderation before.
It's a bit of give and take, but I doubt you'll encounter a problem. If you do, just hop servers.
Can confirm, have made the move. It was only a matter of time before that place went down the fascist watch list.
Facebook, gone. Amazon, gone. Reddit, gone.
Gotta get rid of my Google account next.
I lean right and they banned me. It's not about being left leaning or right leaning. Either you're far one way or another or you're not welcome anymore.
Good luck. Assuming you have a smart phone, it's either Apple or Android. But I get the feeling that you are not an apple simp, and most Android devices require Google to even set up.
Everyone please put your narwhals and your bacon in the trash, this is jeans and beans country
(But you can put bacon in the beans, and on everything else, and by itself … no sense wasting bacon)
Can we put narwhals in our jeans?
Idk my dude that might be some animal cruelty shit but if you manage I want a picture.
Some right wing troll said something akin to "so much for the tolerant left." I replied "I don't give two shits about your opinion dude. I'll see you in the streets during the revolution.".
That was my third account banned. I figured that shit was pretty innocuous. 😂 This was a few weeks back.
Fuck reddit. It's probably for the best. They're talking about paid subs coming next year or whatever. I hope reddit burns to the ground.
Do you guys hate nazi oligarchs here?
Bro, if the feds go through the trouble of setting up a honeypot to catch anti-nazi-oligarch folks, then they're dumb as fuck. They could just start a Lemmy server.
I can't speak for everyone here obviously, but absolutely!
Yep all three of my accounts got banned from Reddit yesterday for no good reason. Everyone should seriously leave that trash heap asap
Hi. I made it.
Just deleted my 13-year-old account. I'm fucking pissed how much effort I put into that fucking place. The hardest thing was overwriting my content so they don't grt to keep my work. It's done, fuck that place.
I just came because of the bullshit.
Hey I don't kink shame
I can hear aurthur’s voice while reading your username.
I've seen that sort of shit and have now left Reddit and come over too
GG Allin! I saw a doco on him a few years back called Hated.
Whole shit was that insane. When he jumped into the crowd and started smearing them with poo. He just didn't give a fuck.
Welcome OP and everyone!
Thanks! Hope this place is better--tired of astroturfing, bad faith arguments, mods who don't care...
Just made my account. Reddit can no longer be a trustworthy site since Spez keeps shitting all over the site with dumb ass rules.
Welcome. Welcome. Secure your shit. Stay away from talkies. Use the block button. Enjoy.
Stay away from talkies.
I too enjoy works of Charlie Chaplin. When the talkies started coming out, it was all downhill for movies.
Ekk
I got banned for suggesting that maybe all the conservatives young men (the “alpha male types”) should be sent to an island where they can fight in an artificial, made up war against each other and then when they return home they’ll be progressives.
LOL. I was just making a point that people who call for wars are often the ones who have never fought in one. Oh well. Getting banned from Reddit is probably for the best, I should be supporting Canadian services anyway.
Good idea. We can dedicate a small island where all 'Alpha males' fight against each other every year. The winner is the true Alpha
You could get at least 56 manga chapters out of this concept
Be the change you want to see in the world. I’ve been on here since the api controversy. I’m done with Reddit for good now, after about 15 years. So now I’m going to try to drive activity on all the niche communities I want to see here.
I also did not like the api changes. But I was at least able to understand why they did that. But the shit that is going on now is enough
I also left for good after 'API-gate', after more than ten years.. It actually hurt to see how something that had been such a big part of my life for so long got worse and worse, like a family member becoming radicalized or something.
I switched over and am permanently deleting my accounts. Be sure to do that, and don't just stop using it. They'll really only start to feel it when a bunch of 10+ year accounts start deleting, since they can't waive it away as "consumer fickleness" that will swing back around
Don't just delete accounts, delete all your posts first. There's multiple 3rd party tools to do it since Reddit only lets you do 1 at a time manually
