What was your motivation for seeking out non-mainstream platforms? Why did you choose this platform?
You must log in or register to comment.
escaping surveillance, algo feeds, and detoxxing myself and reducing screen time (works like a charm so far)
I speak loudly against immorality because of my neurodivergence, interests and character and it was all okay until I started talking too much about Western imperialism and Israel in the wrong places at the wrong times… so I ended up being banned4lyfe. 🤷♂️😬
They have “auto ban filter” for any anti Zionist content, they directly work with pro Israel agencies. Its not even mods of personal preference, the site itself have ties with pro Israeli agencies.
Oh fosho. 😬
But yes, iirc either a group of subreddits or at least a major one was moderated by Ghislaine Maxwell so the Mossad was deep in it. Oh well.
A lot of youtubers I watch in tech spaces had their mastodon listed for social media, and after looking into it I found the concept of the fediverse neat, so I decided to try out a couple of platforms, and see if it’s any better than the cesspit that is mainstream social networks
Updooting a Luigi post apparently got me perma banned for “inciting violence” or something stupid.
Reddit went to shit, and Lemmy is a lot like reddit was back in 2010 or so.
reddit in 2010 wasn’t fully of ideological extremists.
it was mostly nerdy nice people.
Yeah. I don’t remember Reddit being this cringy
world has changed, real life is way more cringy than it was in 2010 too.
and if you don’t embrace the cringe, people basically accuse you of being a bigot, that’s the new thing.
Seeing the evolution of “cringe” has almost made me lose touch of what cringe even is. What do you classify as cringe…? Because for me it’d be stuff like copypastas :3 oWo XD. Roflcopter.
Cringe basically just means “Acting in an unpleasant & embarrassing way that isn’t outright harmful”. uwu roflcopter is still cringe, but so is being a reddit mod for example. If something is outright harmful such as punching someone, that isn’t really ‘cringe’ anymore. The word doesn’t fit.
People keep saying this but I haven’t really seen that yet. I guess I need to stay longer. For the most part its your run of the mill lefty talking points, not very different from Reddit.
You must be right, as many people say it, I just personally haven’t seen it.
I started to dislike meta and musk more and more.
I was part of the Great Reddit Emigration of 2023.
i came for the ideological reason of being able to host one’s own communication server.
i stayed for the great community
Got banned from reddit for the 5th time
Like many others, I tried out the Fediverse when Reddit nuked third-party apps.
I hadn’t used Reddit’s third-party apps in some years, but the debacle just showed to everyone that Reddit is a for-profit company, and they’ll always put profits ahead of users’ interests.
I moved over the day that RIF stopped working
I stuck it out with old.reddit for awhile. I deleted my account because too I would get halfway through writing a reply to things and say “nah not worth it”.
But without old reddit I won’t even bother lurking.
Persona age-verification bullshit on reddit
This + enshittifying itself through tracking and “recommendations”.
Got my 15 years Reddit account banned for sharing a UN documented proof of Israel committing genocide in gaza, in a pro Palestine sub.
This made me 100% sure that shithole of site is moderated by Israeli PR agents to control the narrative.
The reason they banned me was “supporting terrorism” lol.
I wish it was publicised more when accounts get nuked. The what & why. Everyone online just assumes if you get action’ed on you must have been spouting some far right nazi rhetoric but it’s way way more common for it to be something innocent, or just out of context, or even just poorly worded. There is a wide range.
Reddit encourages you to care about your account (cakeday, karma, reply notifications etc. It’s all set to make your care about your account) and then they nuke it when you say something they don’t like.
Too bad the API is shut down. I’d love to see the average time between someone’s first comment on r/jewsofconscience and their last comment on reddit.
Probably hiding these shennanigans was one motivation for closing the API.
Welcome to the club, same happend to me
Im transfem on the internet, I can’t trust mainstream platforms and i like the idea of federated platforms, so I ended up here
Preach
I made a joke about punching Nazis.
I got thrown off Reddit.
People,and less bots
