I feel a bit like I didn’t get much done today, but I have made significant progress in de-Goggling my life.

I’ve also removed Reddit. Again. Apparently it’s like cancer. I obviously didn’t get rid of it all when I moved over here and it regrew. Now it’s been cut out again.

Hopefully with a new influx to Lemmy there will be a bit more engagement here. Although we are all terrible people who “incite violence” so maybe we should just riot instead?

i feel like I aged ten years just figuring out how to use mastodon

it’s like lemmy but they don’t actually tell you what server you signed up on or what server you’re on, so that’s fun. Also, you don’t actually sign in with your mastodon ID, which is so intuitive 😵‍💫

now to move my gmail to proton

I use duckduckgo anyway, but even that algorithm is getting more and more shitty, getting really hard to actually find anything

reddit, I am so blocked on most of my accounts I couldn’t delete them even if I wanted

maybe if i tried the computers at the library it would work 🤷‍♀️

  I haven’t actually looked at mastodon. Lemmy took a whe to figure out initially too, it’s probably similar and it just takes a bit of time.
  
  I managed to avoid an actual ban on reddit (probably because i didn’t use it much) and only had comments banned with a warning.
  
  In many ways I miss the old 90s newsgroups.

    I’ve been having comments removed on newspaper discussions , for stating inconvenient facts that were actually in the article
    
    and i’m getting down voted a lot on reddit a lot
    
    there are some massive propaganda campaigns on reddit at the moment , it shits me

    Just upvoting things like that can get you banned now, along with saying things like “eat the rich” or the name luigi in any context.

what happened to reddit THIS time?

  They are going overboard with censorship, which seems to be aimed primarily at anyone expressing anti-Trump sentiments. Not just banning people for making comments but also people who upvoted them. They have very wide criteria they classify as “inciting violence” - including using the name Luigi or the phrase “eat the rich”, but they are not transparent about what their criteria are. They have also been banning people for reporting too many comments, regardless of whether or not those reports are valid or not.
