“your’re”
Hmmm…
An impressive amount of incorrect.
That’s piratephobic!
y’roue*
your right
A lot of the niche content I like is still on reddit, however I like the people and experience over here on Lemmy more.
yeah, the porn creators are still mostly there
Exactly!
That lemmy front page thirsty af tho
This has been my experience. I still lurk certain communities there but I simply never log in or comment.
I have to use libreddit and other front ends because they have started blocking my vpn last year.
I just logged in to check /r/audiobooks.
The sponsored thingies are intolerable. Fuck that.
Start posting your niche interest on lemmy too. Hopefully someone else will join.
Thought about it. Soon. Going to try and fetch others to help.
Reddit isn’t as bad as Twitter. Though it’s heading that way. But there is an alternative that is 90% as good.
What’s annoying is how stubborn they are about moving over to Lemmy. I know it’s not super straightforward, but it’s also not nearly as complicated as they make it sound.
I actually enjoy the smaller community here, it feels like old reddit. Like the good ole days.
Most people use reddit on mobile. All you gotta do is tell them to use on of the many apps and sign up that way. It’s stupid easy to do.
Well, aren’t we all stubborn when it comes to doing new things?
My guess is that it will be younger people who will go to Lemmy (like Reddit before had been).
The lemmy community is a very specific subset of reddit’s. Reddit has a somewhat more diverse set of opinions and interests. Despite lemmy not having a specific algorithm, it ends up being an echo chamber nonetheless, a bit more than reddit imo.
That and of course the fact that if you remove political content and tech/linux, there is hardly anything left.
Relating to this trying to convince any of my friends to try a new platform or program lol. Yeah, using Voyager on my iPhone and it’s pretty straightforward
id argue its better.
If you’re still on Lemmy… Welcome! The more the merrier!
How are they gonna eat them through those helmets they never take off?
Up the butt.
I use Twitter and reddit for porn, nothing else anymore. People/communities I follow are ghost towns elsewhere. Everytime I point this out, people get butthurt, yet none of them link to their porn profile.
Post the (adorable, lanky, femboy, who has glasses and a thick uncut cock) porn, and as the saying goes, ‘they will cum’.
Not judging but why those over dedicated sites?
It’s hard to find places dedicated to foreskin (the /c is just crickets), cbt, estim… tons more. Even harder to find ones that aren’t just shells for their onlyfans. I’ve been checking every few months for the 🐦 I follow to hop to bluesky or mastodon, and only around a quarter have done so thus far. For reddit, where else can I find a vast array of kink content that is getting fresh stuff daily? Like actually, where? I’ve been searching the internet for a long time, and besides FurAffinity, e621, reddit and occasionally twitter, it’s table scraps for any sort of quality kink content.
uhhh, I’m 4/5, how important is being uncut? It’s not like I had much choice in the matter lol.
It’s a plus, but definitely not a requirement~ 🥺
thanks. i thought i was alone in this struggle. it is also why i keep on calling it titter.
Hell, most porn boards are dead too outside of the main/most vanilla ones.
Twitter got abandoned 1 month after the fascist bought it. Account deleted 6 months ago.
xitter is like 100 times worse than reddit.
reddit has issues with administration and moderation (especially the aspect of censorship), but xitter also has the overwhelmingly bigoted users on top of the censorship
Look…I know we all hate reddit cause they kicked like half of us for no good reason but like…spez doesnt even compare to how evil Musk is
Then again…X is arguably still a better social media platform than reddit is…
Ok nevermind
No. At this point Reddit is evil because it’s censoring anti-fascist content and organizing. It’s becoming a Nazi bar just like the rest of them.
You know what? You are right
Fuck Spez
Spez is only less evil because he doesn’t have enough money to be in the oligarch club. He’s just one of their toadies. He’d absolutely be the same way if anyone actually gave him the power they have.
Reddit has about soft power for a while now. Ever since they scapegoated Ellen Pao, imo. They’ve been changing things relatively slowly compared to Twitter in terms of enshitification, and being more careful about who they piss off at any given time. They’ve become more emboldened ever since they allowed bot farms and bad actors that commented on their behalf, mostly around the time they killed 3rd party apps.
Reddit could be seeing tons of users leaving the site daily, but they’re for sure replacing them with bots to paint a better picture and drive engagement. The same thing applies to Twitter as well. It’s why on BlueSky for instance, I don’t see ragebait dominating my feed due to the more robust moderation tools compared to Twitter and Reddit.
Lemmy has avoided most bots due to the manual approval processes from what I can see. I think Lemmy should strongly consider implementing BlueSky’s moderation tools though.
spez doesnt even compare to how evil Musk is
Nah thats just wrong. Spez has been following Musks orders, so he is exactly as evil as Musk.
It’s just a shitpost. It’s poking fun of people being on reddit, with a screenshot from reddit. There’s no deeper commentary than that.
I just occasionally go back to shill for Lemmy. Pretty sure that hurts them more than helps. :D
I’m only here because I saw it posted on Reddit over the years. Keep doing it, it’s working…
Things i have stopped using- X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Lays, McDonalds, Burger King, Netflix, Walmart. Things where i have minimized consumption - Amazon, Best Buy, Steam, YouTube. Things where I am tied in and can’t make a difference- Android, Windows, AWS, Gmail, Intel/AMD, MS Office (official productivity tools). Actually i don’t mind going minimalistic to F over US companies.
switch to linux
I haven’t gone that far, but I refuse to use Facebook, or Amazon.
Facebook, because it’s a shithole of ignorance, stupidity, and cruelty, and it brainwashes older people.
Amazon, because they hurt local Mom and Pop businesses, and I don’t like the way they treat the warehouse workers.
i use gmail but i use thunderbird to check it . working on a new address. if your using Windows consider running something like OOshutup10+ to stop M$ spying. we use LibreOffice at work except the one office lady can’t use anything but excel . Good job on the stopping , i’m currently doing the same. F the US.
I agree with all the Linux comments but another thing you could do is use FOSS self-hostable front-ends to those proprietary services like invidious and newpipe (android) for youtube, redlib for reddit, nitter for twitter etc. You don’t have to host them yourself, there’s already plenty of people hosting their own instances.
Aside from removing ads which you can already do with an adblocker (which takes 1 revenue stream away from them) it lets you browse privately without any data collection which would be sold to advertisers (taking away their 2nd revenue stream).
About the Android, he can replace it with GrapheneOS if he got almost any Pixel device
Just build your own open source versions of all that and you’ll be fine
I literally just got permabanned from Reddit after over 13 years and 200k karma! Lol
I got banned for being “anti-immigration” during a housing crisis in my country. Its pretty weird to pretend additional demand doesnt boost prices, its become like a 1984 Newspeak.
It doesn’t, and you are wrong, and if you got banned on Reddit, your stance is probably so atrocious I don’t even want to hear it.
If you’re still online…
I’m trying OK! 😭
I didn’t even use Twitter before the nazi bought it
I actually said “bye Fash-licia” to Reddit last week. I thought about trying to get banned for something stupid, just for the story. But instead I just quietly deleted the account.
Well, I still wouldn’t consider using Reddit to be near as bad as using Shitter.
YRORURRE
Well, a few hours ago, I got permanently banned from Reddit, again, but this time with no explanation messages, or any recourse.
I suspect it was from my contant mocking of Musk and Trump, and the GOP in general.
Fuck them.
yup I got shadow banned from that hell hole after saying something mean about the orange in chief it’s so pathetic, it wasn’t even super bad I commented ‘welcome to Trump’s america’ under a post about inflation skyrocketing I was on the site for 12 years no problem
it’s crazy to me I didn’t know they were so beholden to the right. it used to be the fascists got mad reddit was banning them. to.be banned over simply light jokes is so dystopian
not to mention… their ban detection system is fucking 1984 shit
Lol, I was banned because i said, “If I was inclined, I wouldn’t get gender affirming operations, because at this point the medical technology is barely even cosmetically complete, let alone generally functional.” And that was enough, even though I’m not a transphobe and think people should be able to make any choice that doesnt directly or indirectly harm or deficet others.
What’s Twitter?
When Twitter-man did the salute, I deleted my old account (hadn’t used it in years anyway) When Facebook-man said “no more fact checking,” I deleted my old facebook (only kept it to keep in contact with, like, 2 people) When Tumblr-man banned the porn, I deleted my tumblr (you can guess why I had it) When Reddit-man said he wants to paywall the biggest subs, I deleted my reddit (also got banned but I prefer to say I did it for a better reason)
What would be funny if this meme came from twitter. Which was posted on Reddit.
I tried ot login last week, was able to with the same email and password but it acted like I was a new user. So it created an entirely new account.
On a session I was still logged in I changed my email and password and I ended getting banned on that account.
Really weird and I gues it’s time to delete my main Reddit account
If you still were on Reddit a year before Trump while people with a minimum of consciense got banned for the mildest criticism of genocide and complain now you need to STFU.
Arguably there is now more censorship on Reddit than on twitter.
I bow down to your intelligence.

X, Facebook, threads, Instagram, Whatsapp, Amazon Prime.

How can you convince anyone to get off these ? Everyone I’ve showed lemmy to is terrified it’s a virus, and what chat platforms are there besides messenger that we can convince anyone to go to? Maybe I need smarter friends, lol.
kautau@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What you’re describing is intentional. Keeping people dumb about the tech they’re using while maintaining messaging like “Facebook works day and night to keep you safe” was the point all along so that people don’t understand what they’re doing. Granted that extends far beyond social media, but still
nadram@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It is a very big ask… For chat i moved to Signal and convinced my closest relatives and friends to humor me and get the app, but they didn’t let go of Whatsapp. It’s lonely but i enjoy the quietness, and do not miss the endless groups!

One of my phone browsers has warned me that one Lemmee instance is a scam, that doesn’t help if it is happening to others.

To be fair, Lemmy’s UI does it no favors; I can’t entirely blame your friends for thinking it looks sketch.

Could always pick up piracy. Hard to beat a 100% off coupon.
Simply pick up uBlock Origin and browse some community-vetted streaming sites on FMHY.
That’s just streaming, no downloading. Simply find streams of whatever shows you’re invested in and binge as usual!
I’ve even gone as far as taking old laptops of mine and having them full screen these sites on startup. Then, I simply hook the laptop up to my TV via HDMI, plug in a Bluetooth keyboard, and binge away!

Really? I go out of my way to search on duckduckgo when looking for products and filtering out Amazon.
Its been easy for me. My hatred of that man makes it worth the effort.

That is the one that’s killing me too. I just received an email that my subscription date is coming up. I want to cancel, at least my soul really wants me to cancel. But my broken body, limited $$, and limited mobility makes me feel like it would be cutting of my nose. It is really difficult to get to, never mind around, local stores.

Out of those, the only one I use is Whatsapp… kinda hard to get away from it where I live, literally everyone I know in real life uses it
