This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.
Fuck Reddit.
Yes, and fuck discord apparently ?
What did discord do?
Selling out to the capitalist war machine. I was recommended to check out Matrix. Feel free to do the same.
Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
I appreciate it :)
Welcome to the party! Can I offer you a cat pic in these trying times?
I love it.
Same — I never used Reddit but I found out about Lemmy from a Content Creator I enjoy. Seemed cool, a few privacy policies later and I’m here. The more I read about Reddit the more I’m glad I never used it.
I was super late to the party. Wasn’t really a heavy user until right around the API changes.
Mine too! Already having fun time!
You picked a decent, reliable instance. Good choice.
Don’t forget to block the Hexbear and LemmyGrad instances! Full of nothing but fake communist trolls.
Oh dear. I don’t even know how to do that. I really appreciate the feedback.
Gimme a few minutes to tinker around in the settings.
EDIT: done. Thank you again.
Welcome. I joined 4 months ago and I’ve already seen a noticeable increase in users. Join some subs and your feed will start filling out nicely and you’ll stop thinking about Reddit.
I’m seeing a lot more porn, which is neat. Dunno if it’s normal for a new user or the algorythm dangling a carrot. But I’ll take it!
Haha! I jumped ship after the API ruckus. Before the NSFW filter was readily available I blocked a lot of porn communities before I had a feed I could browse at work.
I would like to suggest a second comment as well
Hell, might as well go for three. Keep em comin
Welcome my dude/dudette.
Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.
Burrito pilled Lemmy maxing
Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I’m proud of how far we’ve come.
What about Lemmy-pilled burrito maxing, are we cool with that too?
frfr
I’ve been banned twice in the past 30 days.
I got permabanned a couple weeks ago for saying “the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”
Like, why are you defending Nazis, spez? Huh?
It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.
I got permabanned for reporting hateful comments on a r/conservative post that was glorifying Nazis a few weeks ago. No warning. Been on Reddit for over a decade without causing any problems. Sounds like Reddit as a corporation has picked a side
They picked a side when they let a bunch of fash shit slide on T_D in the run up to 2016. No surprise though-- tech bros rarely have a working moral compass
and they allow r/conservative constantly hit the front page now, when it almost never did prior to the election.,
And it’s so much worse now with how many sub comments and posts that sub has. It’s painfully obvious they’ve replaced even the most devout users with autogenerated agenda posts. That place is some of the most obvious propaganda I’ve seen on the internet
If you post on r/conservative they will actually stalk you and look through your posts to report stuff … but you report them and that is ok.
ahhh that’s what happened to me then. I just randomly got banned one day and I think it was reporting a conservative post for hate or something
same thing happened to me, but on a different sub. “they said report abuse is not allowed” so i was temp ban on a technology sub, funny enough. and it just triggered a full sitewide ban for all my other accts with little warning.(im pretty sure the temp suspension was going to get perma banned down the line, because i heard other used got banned sitewide after thier temp ban ended for no reason at all, which was caused by an error on thier part which they refused to do anything.) basically if you been temp banned the filters on subs dont reset so it detects you as a ban evader if you comment on the sub again, even if you are in the clear.
alSO IF the mod doesnt like you reporting someone they will lecture you and ban you for “report abuse”.
i found out mods do not want to deal with large query of “reports” from users so they get lazy and they autoban, or ban people just to not have to do anything about the person being reported. in case the accts gets a repeal, they will make an excuse up to admins why they banned someone.
Reddit mods can’t see who reported things, only that something was reported. I used to be the head mod for a 1M+ sub. The admins can see that though, and mods can forward reports to the admins for review.
they must be getting the identity of the reporter from the admins, if the mods are nosey enough. im guessing thats how they got some of my accts that way. but a couple times on different subs, the mods personally messaged the ban message" and ranted why the other user wasnt reportable"
IDK, they may have changed things since I was a mod last. It’s been at least 4-5 years.

I got banned a few weeks back for an anti-trump post.
That account was 11 years old and I was very active over those years. But nope. Don’t talk smack about the orange god.
It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.
100% agree
reddit has been sliding right wing for a while, 90% of the posts are about trump, and not really the important things hes doing behind the scenes, just “reaction posts” of trumps gaffes. reddit is also sustaining X social media too with thier posts.
I got permabanned like two years ago for quoting “eat the rich” by Aerosmith. Also suggesting we should eat the rich. Several times. They also permabanned everyone on my wifi. I did the entire household a service.
You got IP banned, damn.
I use 4G for my home internet, my IP address changes so frequently. Always thought IP bans were kinda dumb, certainly permanent ones. Maybe throw a week long one on so they don’t immediately create a new account but past that their address has almost certainly changed.
He’s defending Nazis because the president and “prime minister” are overt Nazis.
Same. I used Reddit for 12 years. Got perma-banned last year for saying things about Israel that people didn’t like, I guess.
Moved to lemmy.
The thing is said last summer that got me permabanned was “international law states that occupied indigenous populations have a right to resist occupation and fight back by any means possible” reddit has an aversion to facts as do all conservatives and their fellow neo liberal boot lickers
If it’s anything but fasc or bootlicker content, they’ve been trying to ban it.
i said something about israel on worldnews at the start of the gaza conflict, site wide suspension for 7 days, i largely abandoned that acct, and went witha throwaway(and mostly avoided that sub). then i was banned last month with the throwaway triggered a multi-ban.
5 of my accts were banned last month, all at once. one got temp suspended, and a triggered a sitewide ban for the others for some "reason. theres no reason to ban all others when it was just temp suspended. but they went extra out of thier way(any old and new accts that have years of seperation between a subreddit ban(if they dint get banned immediately after getting sub banned) they banned accounts.
ex, i had 2 unused accts 5+years, and 1 recent temp suspension(then they look at other accts you were per banned from a subreddit in, and banned all of them). i had also a couple of unused throwaways that i started using from years ago(last month), and a semi-new acct that i use just in case of a ban that i dint use for 90days. and then 1 acct strictly used for 1 subreddit.
only 1 survived but its still flagged by reddit, but have no ban on it right now. creating mroe than 1 acct just puts people at risk of getting banned.
Already got permabanned for saying he was justified, I like it better here anyway
Same here.
I got banned but their site is so shit the links to the message you got banned for never work. Been banned/warned enough times it’s not a one off either.
i pointed out the censoring of luigi news in dec, and people actually believed that wasnt happening, and having all that trump rage post slop thats been posting in order to astroturf luigi news.
What’s in your burrito? My favorite is adobada.
Lengua
I like beans in mine.
Between his username, your username, and the topic at hand, I don’t like where this is headed…
Burrito in, burrito out.
I agree. And now want to be your friend.
15 years on reddit. Multiple accounts banned for slamming Nazis. So I’m here slamming Nazis. Long live Lemmy.
It’s amazing how they tolerated people preaching for violence against women and immigrants for over a decade, but all of sudden their passion for non-violence is so extreme after a rich white guy gets killed.
Nobody does class consciousness better than old money.
They know what’s good for them and have no qualms about fucking over millions of people to make it happen.
Actually because musk complained about white people Twitter and that got banned, and then they tried to eliminate subreddit contrary to maga, and was caught doing it, their excuse was no moderation for those subs. Then they went hats off on banning people, any posts that’s been removed, instant flagged acct, and then some bans don’t even make sense at all.
Citizen, you have been found guilty of wrong think!
Fuck Reddit
I’m using the voyager app for Lemmy and it’s just like Apollo. It’s amazing.
Welcome!
Voyager FTW!
I’ve been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I’m still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else’s dick thank you very much.
Just keep in mind lemmy is hosted independently per instance and there are psychotic admins and mods here too.
I block conservative instances here, they always try to post clickbait threads
My distaste for reddit is also increasing. Good I found lemmy. Still not sure how it works.
Same here, this is my first post!
I had a 13 year old account on Reddit, they can get fucked. The place is turning to crap, and now that boost has stopped working, I’m not using their shitty Reddit app.
i did the same thing, i was skulking around the modhelp sub, they are totally complicit with the admins current banning directives. the mods are okay if people are randomly getting banned or comment removed, regardless if they had a ban in the past that was lifted. they just assume all is ban evaders. they are quite lazy people too.
also filters not resetting after peoples ban is lifted, is on reddit. i do give credit some mods did go out of thier way to help out a user that got banned, but the mods approved thier comments, but reddit was still banning them. thier AI banning is too faulty.
I just downloaded it after logging in and seeing that dystopian BS! I’m out lol
I deleted my 12 year old account just this week because most subs I followed have been taken over by the image gen people (‘my friend fell in love with this <insert niche thing> and wants me to build it for her/him’) and I’m just pushing the market value of a shit product in my free time for no good reason. I don’t miss karma farming bots one bit
Yeah, i deleted mine last year right after it turned 17 years old due to the API decision that broke 3rd party apps. I will browse on occasion, but it’s a mess for someone with ADHD these days.
As you mention, all memes/images and “am I the asshole with my story that attempts to paint me in a good light but you can still tell we are both stupid pieces of shit?”
Warms my heart to see all the ‘new account’ badges in this thread.

it was a sign when subreddits were getting ban, critical of trump or musk.

Technically, I’m not new, just recently moved instance, but maybe mine delights you anyway? Assuming it’s still there, idk how long it lasts.
Hey to everyone moving in from reddit. Don’t forget that lemmy can’t fill the void you’re trying to fill without content.
Thanks to the federated nature of lemmy, we have infrastructure, we just need more creators on it.
Friendly reminder that almost all news media outlets and social media platforms are owned by a handful of extremely wealthy individuals and they are in full control of the algorithm that feeds you content, so you’ll likely never see anything that is critical of them or advocates for them to have less power or influence than they do.
This is the 2025 version of “The revolution won’t be televised”.
Fuuuuuuuuuck spez
The police should check his hard drive
1000%
That’s the pedophile piss baby aka u/spez aka Steve Huffman, right? As in the guy that moderated a pedo sub?
What a greedy little pis baby pig boy.
Ew
he just got hatched from a oligarchy alien nursery and dint come out fully formed.
reddit died when it became a publicly traded company. now it is just another propaganda tool
🙋🏻♂️ +1 on having received a warning. I’m a simple man. I see Luigi, I upvote.
Day 1 on lemmy so am finding my way around still :)
Welcome!
I have been banned from reddit for supporting Ukraine.
Here its smaller, but that makes it more charming
but theres no filtering of people “mass downvoting you though, which results in a ban/reported”
Got banned for saying Nazis shouldn’t be alive. Welcome to lemmy, I’m personally approaching it with the philosophy of “communities need activity to thrive”
Welcome, internet stranger!
Welcome!
Anddddd this is how and why I found lemmy.
Reddit going full mask-off 1984 huh? Next thing it’ll be illegal to downvote things Reddit likes to push… Or why even bother with the votes anyway, Reddit will just show you only the things that it deems good for you, like the benevolent Big Brother.
Fuck that place.
Also: welcome to all our new members! “We’re Not Perfect, But At Least We’re Not Reddit!” ™
