See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.
A lot of this is because the prevalent attitude has been ‘it’s the internet, it doesn’t matter’, and that allowed people to do things that we, as a society, decided long ago that people weren’t supposed to do.
I can’t say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won’t return to Reddit.
Same here. It’s already gotten sucky, and it’s only going to get worse.
If you want to know the future of Reddit, look at Facebook.
Same here. Reddit is going downhill real fast.
Reddit has been going downhill for a decade. The problem was that there were no viable alternatives. Now that /u/Spez has pushed the issue, he forced enough people into Lemmy that it is suddenly a viable alternative. I call that a win!
Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.
I’m quite large, and I’m here
This is the way
Yes, obviously.
I will stay as long as they don’t do what Reddit did.
I’m on every website known to mankind, a world record I wish to keep, so yes.
Yes
Lemmy is a game changer for me. First couple of days were confusing, but after adding a slew of communities that resembles my reddit subscription list… I think I’m there.
Now its more of the niche subs that I hope will grow into its own. More specific game communities are needed, because that’s more or less the only reason I have to go back to reddit.
Yea, I’m here to stay and help it grow. Reddit even before all this BS just felt…icky sometimes. Lemmy doesn’t, and I’m loving the passionate people that are moving here.
Yeah! Fills my reddit void
It depends on the tech. I’m not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There’s already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.
I also don’t think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.
I hope these issues are resolved, and I’ll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I’ll do the same with reddit. I’m not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.
Oh dang, it seems I’ve been living under a rock. What are the tech and drama issues I missed?
the Voyager PWA is a big part of why I’m staying. Good UX!
I’ve been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and…seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I’ve already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤
I hope I’ll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀
I’m planning on staying here permanently. I’ll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I’ve subscribed to and see if there’s a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I’m not going to engage with Reddit more than that.
Someone told me about https://sub.rehab/, so I just check that every few days to see if my favorites show up there!
That’s pretty neato. As an aside, can you save comments on lemmy?
You can! I use Jeroa on Android, and you can tap the bookmark button to save comments, and I think it’s a similar process on Desktop.
Ooohhh I’m gonna start using that from now on!
I’m staying here on Lemmy, this platform seems like it has much more promise than Reddit and centralized platforms like Reddit.
Don’t get me wrong platforms like squabbles are cool and all but in the end they’re not federated and that means they’re going to end up meeting very similar if not the same fate as Reddit itself is meeting right now.
So far, so good. Keep the bigotry and fascists in check and I’ll stick around. I tried to make a community (a page for my band) just now and it just loads and loads when I hit submit. Anyone else had that problem? I turned off all my ad blockers. The issue persists.
edit: I was able to make a community today. Check out !jambands if you’re into that kind of thing! :)
edit2: 12/13/23 Lemmy has lots of bigots and incels now.
edit3: 2/14/24 Lemmy now seems to have bigot and incels mods running many “front page” communities.
