lol you fucking legend.
Of the three people involved in Reddit’s creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit’s greater vision.
Swartz was a far better person.
Aaron Swartz, the internet’s own boy.

I hadn’t thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn’t migrate say about us? I’m really curious now but I don’t want to look. I’ve only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don’t want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?
*Edit
From what I can tell a lot of the people there who are even aware of it think of Lemmy as inactive and irrelevant and the protests as an embarrassing failure.
the protests were an embarrassing failure but lemmy isn’t
From the place I still use as they didn’t move, I haven’t seen a single mentioning of Lemmy, fedivers, black out or anything close. Makes sense as those communities didn’t even try moving.
In one of the subs I did notice a quality decline and it moving a bit from, people talking about shared experiences with a medical condition, to being babys first experience with medical condition, but it has moved back even so slightly, but the average age seems to have gone down.
The other one for a game. I can proudly say is just as low quality as before, but I stick around to give tech support, even if it of the absolute most basic nature sometimes, and keep up with updates, bugs and community fixes.
Wow, that last sentence makes you a saint.
Thank you.

Okay, that’s slightly disappointing but nothing surprising. I appreciate the well thought out response, thank you.
Kind of seems like the scale will always be tipped on reddits side but hopefully that doesn’t discourage the people who actually do come here. As long as Lemmy is active, I don’t plan on using anything else. My reddit account was over a decade old and I’m hoping my Lemmy account will last even longer. Should I move instances?
Considering that Reddit was the safe haven for people trying to escape “mainstream” social media who didn’t want anything to do with 4chan, it isn’t surprising that most of the fanbase is loyal to them. It is a little disheartening, indeed, but I guess it’ll take a couple more of these big fuck-ups for something to change noticeably.
I am, however, very fine with the amount of engagement we have here despite the lower user base. Might actually be better exactly because of that.
I mean, the instance isn’t really that important, is it. You can still interact with everything on here regardless of the instance your account is registered to.
Out of all the people I know irl who are aware of Lemmy, 50% have tried it, and of those, all but one was out of by the tankie mind rot and inconsistent moderation.
The “fuck capitalism” at every turn is pretty frustrating at times even as an active user.
And in reality, fuck capitalism. But we don’t need it in every thread. It’s exhausting. And the tankies brand is way more “fuck the US” than “fuck capitalism.” They are just violent, often weirdly bigoted, and poorly informed.
And in reality, fuck capitalism.
And I mean yes, but it’s a nuanced conversation. Capitalism is off the rails and a lot of people are being hurt by that, but getting things back on the rails isn’t as simple as “just don’t do capitalism” or “do socialism.”
It definitely doesn’t need to be in every thread like you said, because trying to have those repeated nuanced conversations is just exhausting.
Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that’s the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It’s why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it’s what’s so great about Wikipedia.
i’m of another notion, i think its more about controlling public space for discourse itself than it is about profit… they want to sever access to whatever they might consider subversive dialogue and control the next generation’s access to it.
A lot of things in life are not this heavily conspiratorial…
$3 dollar words make it seem like it’s real complicated. plain greed and middle management stunts
I love this
🫡 thank you for your service 🫡
It was an honor, sir!
Aww, you hurt their delicate fee-fees! How mean! /s
Also, lol at that pathetic sycophant’s reply below your comment. Dude needs to stop twerking for spez.
There were many like that, lol!
I doubt they have delicate fee fees or feel feels or whatever. I don’t care whether they even care that I was banned, all I know is my ban from Reddit is a badge of honor and proves I can get under other people’s skin. You always know you’re telling the truth when it makes people angry enough to ban you.
Who is that comment even aimed at? Being that it is right under OP’s comment in (what I presume to be) a busy chat, I doubt it is a response to OP.
Good point.
My lifetime ban from Reddit (which resulted from saying that we need a more progressive political candidates in our country) was a badge of honor, proving my opinions to be correct and undigestible to fascists. So I had a medallion engraved with my date of expulsion which I keep in a place of honor over my fireplace.
My permaban was for saying it is a moral obligation to punch nazis lmao
Mine was for saying that Nazi’s were a part in a war from 70 years ago, and that they should be dead now.
Well of course spez was gonna take that personally haha
Mine was for “report abuse” for reporting misinformation in r/conservative.
I am convinced there is no human behind the suspensions and the moderators reporting those who report will have you banned irrespective of merit. Such a nice environment
I actually got banned from Facebook for posting about getting sick on my birthday, saying I hated being sick on my birthday. They replied it was “hate speech” and so I was banned for a week (!).
Ayy I got one of those for that dumbass antivax subreddit lol
Being banned from somewhere doesn’t prove you right or wrong. It just means those particular people are angry at you, rightfully or not.
Just a subtle reminder because fascists and nazis themselves regularly use such kinds of phrases. Doesn’t make them any more right or honorable.
Do what is right, and always strive for freedom, and you’ll be good :)
My ban from Reddit proves I was right - you know you’re right when it makes any group angry enough to ban you. In the same way, books are truthful when they get banned for daring to speak the truth.
I always do the left thing (not the right) and achieve my freedom by not staying quiet or bowing down to fascists.
you know you’re right when it makes any group angry enough to ban you.
Not really. If you say Hitler was right, or any of the myriad of other terrible statements you could make, and you get permabanned for it, you’re still wrong.
The difference is, those statements “Hitler was right” or any other kind of mentally ill belief are by all universal standards immoral and wrong. They don’t get banned for being truthful at all, but for being morally reprehensible. I was banned for being morally above and beyond what Reddit can claim as moral standards.
You miss the important part.
You ARE right, and you should fight for the truth, and not bow to anyone, but the mere fact that you were banned isn’t proof of anything.
People calling for genocide get banned. Outright nazis get banned, even while they try to move the gate. Many terrible people do get banned. Doesn’t make them any more right. One can just be too stubborn to make reasoning impossible.
“I was banned thereby I’m right” is a very dangerous idea that often fuels your - and our - enemies and blinds them to the reason. It serves nothing but radicalization, for the right or, very often, for the wrong.
Saying those things validates the ideas that end up turning against you - and against the reason and the truth.
No I’m not missing your point at all, I get it, I simply don’t agree with it. My ban from Reddit proves I was right in bright neon lights. Because Reddit is going backwards and devolving into the lowest form of human sewage - fascism.
Yes people calling for genocide should be banned and nazis and homophobes and other degenerates as well - but not because what they are saying has any modicum of truth to it, just the opposite. They get banned because of being horribly wrong, and unable to perceive the difference between reality and mental delusion.
So I’m not entirely at odds with your viewpoint, I’m only saying that more myself in this one particular instance, my ban was proof of the veracity of my statements.
For Reddit fascists, you are banned because of being horribly wrong.
It’s very easy to say “they were banned for being wrong, I was banned for being right”, but ain’t that double standard?
You were banned not for being right, but for saying something that fell out of Reddit guidelines - which can be skewed and fucked up, but it wasn’t you being a messiah and them trying to cover everyone from the truth and light you’re spreading.
I suppose it is a double standard, but my viewpoint was correct and actually was not outside of their guidelines, which I pointed out in my response to them wherein I called them fascist scum and (various other terms I won’t use here).
And I am a messiah, I am that I am. I am the great “I Am.” And all who contradict me are as dead to me as the dust of arid desert lands.
Oh so now they don’t like ads
Only ads that serve them are allowed
removed by mod
Oh looks Spez made a fed account. Name checks out too
He uses arch btw
OP is a superior life form and the masses must obey because of the technological superiority and the nuanced knowledge base that OP operates with. Trust bro, lemmy is better.
You’re being ableist by forgetting the /s honey
Calm down. Just because no one likes you doesn’t mean you have to be a dick for no reason
Spamming a live chat is just being a nuisance. Nobody’s been annoyed into listening to a spammer.
From the image, I don’t see how this was spamming, though.
We can’t see much of anything. The image shows all of 4 comments. But I can guess, considering the all capital username and copy-paste format - I would bet money that they posted that same thing over and over again. Also, I know this platform is understandably anti-Reddit, but I really doubt they’re banning people for a single comment about Lemmy.
I can confirm while I like the message they did spam it.
i can imagine an infinite number of live chats where spamming as a nuisance is positive. spez, scientology, MLMs, i don’t even have to be political
I’m not defending the Spez stream. I’m saying spamming a chat with JOINLEMMY is just going to make Lemmy look bad and associate it to new people as an annoyance rather an interesting alternative.
agreed
Nobody’s been annoyed into listening to a spammer.
It was just the comment with most “thumbs up” while I was there LOL.
You a real one bruh!
Hey! Thanks!
Btw Berserk rocks!
he was a competitive ballroom dancer, who hacked his roommate’s Web site as a prank.
What a fun little image that conjures up.
To be fair, I would imagine that this event had some rule about not advertising in the chat in the ToS or stream rules fine print somewhere.
And as much as I dislike Steve and Reddit, I agree with Reddit on this one. You (or anyone else) shouldn’t be abusing the chat of a competing service stream to advertise a different one. It is not the place for that and is rude. Please do not give existing Reddit users reason to believe all Lemmy users are rude rule breakers.
I am not complaining. I was there to make fun of Spez and I don’t care if I was rude. If they think Lemmy users are any different than Reddit users they are delusional. There is all types of users here and there.
