A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)

I bet the fediverse wouldn’t censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn’t a bitch.

People here censor all kinds of shit they don’t like lmao

Mods!! This one, right here. Thanks

Frankly I don’t want Redditors here

If there’s a single group of people I hate it’s Redditors. Just fuck them (haha zecks, my wife left me smh, I want this guys wife)

In an alternate universe I would be like a ted kaczynski of anti reddit sending hot packages to the authors of most painful comments

I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy’s a bit lacking in this regard.

But yeah, I’m not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone’s a cis man and stuff :\

how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?

ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven’t used reddit since.

if you didn’t come here from reddit, I’d be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.

how did you find Lemmy?

via Mastodon. I still mostly use Mastodon (but I follow hashtags so its a little like an un-curated RSS feed in that respect. I’ve been on Mastodon for a couple years. I also use a couple other Fediverse projects eg Freindica, Bookwyrm and GotoSocial

did you find out through reddit?

no.

mazel tov. but I was asking the other commenter.

Im sorry to inform you that:

Lemmy is a reddit alternative
What you did right now was very redditor esque

Lemmy is mostly people who used to be Redditors. People are people.

That’s the truth. For people remembering how large was Lemmy before the API fiasco, the vast majority of people here came from Reddit.

It made me make an account here. I also convinced the group chat to move to signal last night.

Same! It was two groups and I didn’t actually have to convince anyone. It turned out we all had Signal all along, but were binding eachother to stay on WhatsApp, I dunno, through some weird ass inertia I guess.

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?

Reddit took action faster about Lemmy than they did responding to the epidemic of CSAM subs.

Reddit currently has an active and massive beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images, but they have comment threads with discussion and advice. Just as with r/jailbait, people post fishing for the real stuff.

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.

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.

How can you look more alien than Zuckerberg?

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?

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.

People are scared of new things and grow complacent once they find their place in a community or on an app, in this case. It’s the same reason people will argue to death about needing Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, whatever, and not leave any of them

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?

Yep, and it’s not even fully federated. Different servers have also quite a bit different focus.

I will steal from now on WoW comparison when talking about the fediverse!

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.

would it be immoral for me to mass bot the thread with AI powered pro fediverse propaganda?

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

A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
