    Just signed up here. I had my account flagged for upvoting on Reddit. Needless to say I was POed but so far I’m liking it here

      Made a lemmy account a while back and forgot about it. This shit made me switch instantly. Will keep upvoting Luigi posts until fuckers ban me.

        No, it is an open place where CCP shills and Nazis and good people can all say what they want, filter what they don’t, and communicate without shitty corporate overlords or trash mods having all the power.

          If you’re going to be negative about people welcoming newcomers, you don’t have to comment. I thought I left all that behind on reddit.

      How did you find Lemmy, out of curiosity? Seems like there aren’t a lot of Reddit recs for it yet.

        Not that person, but I found out about lemmy from reddit. There are people talking about it when this kind of stuff comes up.

        Honestly googled Reddit alternatives and the first search was from Reddit discussing Lemmy. Took a peek and now I’m here. I like Lemmy, just communities are a hit or miss due to inactivity.

          Agreed about the inactivity but hopefully more users make the transition as reddit continues to filter people out
