Never thought Reddit is so shady.

• I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like “fox news” as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
• Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
• 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
  • ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)

had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.

Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people

good riddance, sillicon valley has way too much power over information flow

the more diverse the platforms the better. Also I really like the reskins of this platform! Makes the interface so customizable to your preferences

Welcome on the site <3 (Im also a new ex-redditor - check my latest comment on profile for my story)

I hope it ends up being flipped upside down for profit like the Meta platforms.

It’s all small video posts although their essence was connecting with friends and exhibiting pictures/memory/photography. Now these use cases are actively changed into smartphone zombie habits through their UX.

I hope reddit will follow the same fate and this platform here will be the new forums-for-everyone and all the useful questions will be found through fediverse when entering your hyper specific search engine request

But currently I haven’t found my communities yet and most of which are kinda inactive. Some having only a monthly post, others even none at all

Thank you (and all the different responses) very much for the detailed explanations!!!

EDIT: so for extra stupid people like me: how do I differentiate between feddit and lemmy and all the subs?

Wait there’s pretty girls? I like talking to pretty girls

EDIT: jokes aside that analogy didn’t reach me, and as you prophesied I am confuseth rn

What User numbers are we talking? Of each sub/platform? Or like total? Because I can saw how many members a sub on feddit has for example

Exactly, that’s why I what I tried saying. Chicken and egg, I want to help with both within my reach

But most that migrate won’t stick unless they get a unique selling point(USP) out of it.

And I see it as a non silicon valley possessed platform, that has even more options to configure the experience to your liking(ie ui skins, at least for me there’s a couple through feddit)

But also there needs to be a at least some daily posts on most subs for new people to interact with. Most just browse and if there’s nothing to browse (or if it’s too hidden), most will just switch back again sooner or later.

But I’m talking with a day of experience… I still haven’t seen the light of posts yet I feel like

I see, is lemmy also a site then? I’d call mastodon/pixelfed other “platforms” (as in different content format and use focus) and lemmy/feddit “sites” (different sub owners that all can interact with each other)

Did I get this right? 😁

Ye im still somewhat looking into reddit (also to just realize what similar communities I should follow here)

There’s just so many whack websites as basis for discussion. Like newsgeek or other tabloids and people act like it’s the most official matter.

Feels like everyone only reads the headline and starts mashing their keyboards. And your reception tends to be less text = lie. The recent behavior and interaction feels similar to today’s Twitter in terms of rage induction, just for nerds
