Welcome aboard!

I came from the first reddit exodus and it’s been great over here. You’ll get used to it in no time, I promise.
So did I but be careful or you well also get swept up by the brainwashing here, buying a Pixel to run grapheneos, installing Linux on everything, buy privacy respecting email services, VPN and paranoid of everything. BTW I use NixOS and I am still mostly sane.
If anyone is looking for an unpopularopinion sub here, check out opinionhavers which I’m trying to get going.
There is also this one but mods took it offline for a while to protest something or other, so I figure it’s good to have alternatives. The mod drama over there if you care.
!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world is open, people created threads yesterday, so not sure what you mean?
It was shut down for around a week to a week and a half, and now it’s back. That’s what I meant.
The point was: now that it’s been shown that the mod is willing to take the sub offline in protest of various stuff, maybe it would be good to support an alternative as well so eggs can be in several baskets instead of just one.
LW reverting that policy is a sign the blackout was justified
To Newbies, I just want to say:
If you aren’t a Marxist-Leninist, you might wanna stay away from the big 3 Marxist-Leninist (aka: Tankie) instances [lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ml]
Wanted to say this too. It’s Lemmy’s biggest problem and keeps putting me off. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people in person anymore because of them. I don’t know if I would be more disturbed if they’re mostly state actors astroturfing or just deeply unwell real people
I left Reddit during APIGate and I tried lemme and it was full of racist nastiness so I closed my account and recently also left all meta apps and drasticallyreduced tiktok, and thought I might come check out how things are going and it’s nice and cozy here now, think I will stay. Been off of x for the better part of 3 years.
Welcome back!
Just got a nearly 10 year old Reddit account permabanned because someone I share my computer with commented on a sub that banned me.
The admins didn’t even have a look at my first appeal, sending an automatic message instead and won’t have a look at any further appeal, so here I am.
Welcome, good choice with Jlailu, it’s a great instance! !forumlibre@jlai.lu for chill discussions
Did something new happen on reddit?
Nothing new in particular. People are sick of power tripping mods. Also people that joined Reddit many years ago are sad to see it’s turned into something else in many ways. I’m brand new here, I am over Reddit as I just got banned for “threatening violence”. I appealed to no avail. I got angry regarding a post about an adult purposely running down a 12 year old. I expressed what I “would feel like doing” to that driver if he knocked one of my sons over on purpose. I didn’t actually threaten a real person, it was based on a hypothetical scenario. But no apparently that’s threatening violence. So yeah, I’m here.
ah. I thought they did some new, fresh BS and caused another exodus.
It’s meta and x that are causing interest in the fediverse again. Pixelfed has gained a lot of users.
I know that, but the title of this post references redditors.
General interest in fediverse includes Lemmy.
Would you mind telling me what “Fediverse” is please. I had a bit of a read about this new place/thing/situation/blogsite or whatever it’s called. I’m an old Troglodyte and lucky that I even discovered Reddit 12 years ago. It was great for many years but I’ve grown tired of the same old comments and the insecure mods. Well anyway, happy newish year.
!newtolemmy@lemmy.ca should give you a few pointers!
