Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.
Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.
A reddit thread about this is what actually led me here. Reddit has been on my shit list for a while, it’s cool this place exists.
Welcome! Bring your content, enjoy the friendly people :)
And form a positive opinion on Linux man. Just any opinion. They’ll slaughter you without one it’s rough out there
We should be going back on there and proselytizing (and on this end, welcoming new users with h links to documentation etc.) btw if you’re new I recommend checking out the various mobile clients. I personally use lemmy sync because of muscle memory from years of using it on reddit, but there’s a number of open source ones too.
I agree. I do worry about the barrier to entry for some people. I know it gets brought up a lot here but I think it’s a valid criticism.
Looking into apps was actually the first thing I did after making an account!
I used Sync for a few minutes, but then settled on Voyager because they don’t collect any data.
Voyager is very nice btw.

Woah, looks like a post from a few years ago must have gotten stuck behind a file cabinet!
Huffman isn’t bending the knee. He’s been deep throating Musk for quite a while. Even before the whole API thing, it was known the he saw Musk as a great role model.
Yeah, Reddit hasn’t been safe in a long time. If people are only just now realizing that, it’s because they’ve been extremely sheltered from… Well… Gestures vaguely at everything
This one came out of the blue. the API blackout had notice and time to organize. People were talking about reddit alternatives and protesting for weeks before the API blackout happened
Welcome back! Lemmy’s a decent amount better than it was a year and a half ago :)
Could there be a better example of why not to remain on Reddit?
The United States of America has become comfortable with bending the knee to petulant man-children. What an utterly pathetic time to be an American. Truly embarrassing.
