I haven’t seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

Reddit took action faster about Lemmy than they did responding to the epidemic of CSAM subs.
That sounds right for the company whose CEO was appointed moderator of r/jailbait. This was before you had to accept an invitation to be moderator, but fuck Spez regardless.
I left reddit because they kept resisting the removal of subs that directly used the platform to sell CSAM under the guise of a specific niche of porn which normally is legal. Direct contact with reddit to explain why it was CSAM went nowhere.
omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes
I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website
I still see the comment on Spaduf’s profile, but it shows as deleted in the post
I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in
actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn’t seem to happen in r/fediverse
no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed
no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol
Is 500 upvotes that much on reddit?
On lemmy its huge, but on reddit i have seen posts with twice that in niche subreddits
It made me make an account here. I also convinced the group chat to move to signal last night.
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
Let’s fucking go, this is great to see! Remember to be nice to the new users if you see them around.
Was reading through the thread and holy shit I swear half the comments are anti fediverse propaganda.
I wonder how long till the post gets removed.
Edit: would it be immoral for me to mass bot the thread with AI powered pro fediverse propaganda?
Aside from what Blaze mentioned, that’s also not really the kind of publicity that we want. Better to just respond to individual users and encourage them to try Lemmy out.
We should really avoid antromorphizing non-humans. Call them bots, like most of them probably are.
In some spaces, that term is becoming really dehumanizing. People use “bot” to label anything they disagree with.

You can try, but you’ll probably get flagged
U would be surprised what u can do with an account list a proxy list and a tor connection.
why not, ik a lot of ppl are upset with reddit rnow and they prob think lemmy isnt ready, I thought it was bad because of old preconceptions and I never heard about it on reddit, only after I got banned from reddit did I even see that lemmy still existed, had a userbase, and was running without issues now
they got me with the propoganda forsure, it seemed complicated was actually super simple, every comment will act like its so hard to swap over or signup when once you do look it up you immediately see why its better at its core
I never played WoW or anything like that, but aren’t there several WoW servers and you have to decide which one to be on when you start the game? People managed that.
explaining the fediverse would be you join different servers but can still play together?

Some comments are suspiciously skeptical. If they were this skeptical before joining then they never would’ve joined Reddit lol. Someone just tried to tell me that the report button on Lemmy doesn’t do anything.
And people talking about bots too lol Reddit will literally repost a 1 year old post with identical title and copy-paste the top 100 comments from the original too, talk about bots! And they aren’t labeled as bots! At least bots here are labeled and you can hide them all instantly.
And then they ask for extreme details on how everything works and try to become a master at it before even signing up. Is that how they signed up for Reddit and Discord? I doubt it.
No way these people were that closed-minded and stubborn when they were signing up for Reddit.
