Hey everybody! This guy doesn't know about 2/12! Let's all laugh at him! Ha ha ha ha ha!
.........I have no idea. Does ANYONE know what happened?
Shaddow Banned from Reddit for making some Luigi Mangione prayer candles got thousands of likes and bam old high karma account banned forever. No response from Reddit. Noticed on the shadow ban page that tons of people getting these bans everyday and no response from Reddit . Suggested we protest at Reddit headquarters in SF and now I’m banned from Shadow page ban lol. Nice to be here though
At least a protest outside their HQ you can hold up pro Luigi content.
It was a "alternatives to American apps/sites" on Reddit that got me here
Just got so sick of reddits smarminess. It’s also just astroturfed corporate BS at this point anyway.
I’ve been boycotting Amazon for over a year (and quite frankly won’t ever stop), won’t shop at Target and won’t visit super corporatized social media.
Reddit has proven time and time again they’re just a whipping boy for corporate interests.
Left Reddit as soon as Boost stopped working
Same. My boost app finally stopped working so I had to switch over. Seems basically the same here just less comments
Been checking and commenting on Lemmy everyday since I made my account. Its my new first opened app of the day now
and its so much better than trying to do that on reddit witha new account, they make it very hard engage with a brand new acct.
People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!
But seriously this is good news and I'm glad to have you all here. Lemmy is in a pretty good position right now in terms of having a critical mass of users and decent traction within popular communities. At the very least it feels self-sustaining here.
I didn't realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.
Literally seems like 1/4 the comments of Reddit, 1/1000 the userbase. I think between API lockdown and "violence" banning, the entire commenting community of Reddit came here lol.
50 thousand users
Active users, so vote, post or comment. Lurkers aren't counted.
Joined up yesterday and have been pretty happy so far. Have been looking for an alternative so i could ditch reddit since the API changes and had no idea this place existed until i saw a random thread yesterday
I'm the "9" of the 90-9-1 rule (aka: mostly comments)
hope that counts 👀
Subjectively, Lemmy's communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.
