This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I remember seeing something a while back on r/coolguides about alternatives for various sites, including Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit. Today, I saw the writing on the wall and decided it was time.
The worst isn’t just the Luigi thing, it’s that in the future, they will most likely expand it to include any topic that the administration disapproves of.
Absolutely. Actually it’s already here. I got a permanent ban last week. I suggested that Luigi had the right idea, and that we needed more like him.
I still lurk on reddit, mainly on the trans subreddits. But I could see those being banned from the site in a few years.
my sentiment exactly. this is just the start of it. once they became a publicly traded company, it was no longer a social media for the people. may free speech live on ✊
welcome! it ain’t perfect here, but at least it’s decentralized and harder to manipulate in favor of the oligarchs.
I am new here, and I actually like everything about it. It’s very simplified. But the fact that it’s decentralized is the key reason to why I moved here.
See, that sentence may not make sense, but we have free speech here, so I can say it as much as I want!
BUTT FUCK PASTRIES FOR ELFS!!!
Ooh ooh I wanna try one…
Billionaires should be shot in the street for fun like carnival games. 3 shots for a dollar!
Also, I just anally fucked a pastry for elf’s. Creampied a Danish.
Three shots for a dollar??? There’s going to be more lead than body after we shoot 3 billion+ times!!
Welcome to Lemmy, hope you have a great time.
Reddit has only one consistently-enforced rule: don’t sass the nazis.
Sass the nazis, I say! Sass them to the grave.
Welcome! We are few, but the bones are good.
Fair, I’ve always been aware of Lemmy as a paranoid schizo, but I think that I won’t want the right to use Google before they become a tool of the government to find people who speak out.
Welcome!
Same, the site is no better than facebook or instagram now.
