The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

I'm a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I'm decent, you see?
Are we the same person? I was on lemon.ee for a month before it shut down. Then actually jumped to another account after hexbear when I started to find out more about them.
Yea, reddit api thing burned that bridge, been happy ever since.
Same, but kind of sucky sharing a perimeter with authoritarians and the worst kind of anarchists. If Lemmy were a physical location and not an online space I'd be sleeping fully armed.
I don't mind reading their points of view. I block people that cross lines but overall I appreciate different viewpoints.
I feel like "the people who represent your views are lying to you, murder all your government officials and open the ports for invasion" isn't really a point of view worth respecting, but I never block anybody for any reason.
I came here because I was permabanned from all os Reddit because I wrote an elevator lie about. A fictitious lie about a cheese man roaming the campus late at night
Edit:I’m sorry I can’t make this coherent I’m knocked badly
Are you sure it was a lie ?
Im here because I'm fucking stubborn.
I hate the Reddit app, give me back RIF and I'll abandon this place in a heartbeat. Give me a paid Reddit option to fuck the adds off and Ill take it. Ill pay $20 a month not to have to listen to you neckbeards to try and make literally every conversation about capitalism, linux or Trump.
Bunch of one note ass motherfuckers, you think I dont know the world sucks? I want some escapism for fuck sake.

You may want to try subscribing to non-political communities, and then browsing by subscribe. For example, here's a list of communities I subscribe to for when I don't want to read about politics:

Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes these include politics but that's not the sole focus.
Arch btw
Have you heard of FreeBSD or Haiku? You could become even more extreme than us Linux users. Think about it!
To be fair @ptz@dubvee.org
You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.
Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡
Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.
Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.

I left reddit at the same time for the same reason; found Lemmy, and honestly I've loved it. Looking at other comments, it looks like you're actually running an instance, so your interaction with the fediverse has been very different from mine... can definitely understand burnout from that angle!
I'd recommend just making an account on an established instance, then curating your personal feed reductively by blocking communities and posters whose content you're not interested in. That process will take weeks, but just keep passively blocking shit you don't want to see, and the quality of your experience will skyrocket.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Though I will say, I have no personal experience of the stress and burden of running an instance myself. Especially one where the admins are actively trying to cultivate a non-toxic environment. That workload and the toxicity it exposes you to must be hell.
Personally I've had almost entirely positive experiences here, up to and including currently. But I stay out of politics, I've curated my subscriptions carefully and I never browse /all.
I almost exclusively browse /all, but I'm up to 897 blocked communities (sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and...).
It takes some doing, but you can whittle /all down to something personalized and enjoyable to browse.
Many of the people here were banned from reddit for being unbearable and they learned nothing
I told a Nazi spouting hate to drink bleach. what did I learn?
Reddit is full of Nazi supporting scum.
edit: I also got banned from imgur for telling a person promoting the euthanasia of disabled people was better than allowing them to "dirty the pool". I also told them to drink bleach.
Imagine my surprise when a US president tells people the same thing and gets reelected!
I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.
i was banned before all that drama, i posted/reported on someone on r/technology and recieved a temp ban for "reporting too much, or reporting that isnt "approved nebulously"
I've been perma-banned from reddit a bunch and I eventually just got tired of making new accounts lol.
I dont care. If you got banned from reddit youre doing the world a great service.
I like it here for the most part but I don’t like the reddit tendencies. Stuff we solved many years ago there. Why is it not great anymore?
People ruin everything.
I'm here because I was banned from Reddit for speaking against fascism.
Oh geez, Rick... These guys sure like their echo chambers...
YeURRRPep, Morty. Duh... How else would CoOURRRRGHPOommunism sound like a good idea?
