Fuck reddit
post
They don't want people jumping ship. How else are the billionaires supposed to control the narrative.
Interesting. I didn't know it was active really. People tend to use r/fediverse or r/redditalternatives.
Yeah it is interesting. Hopefully it was just due to mod inactivity. At least those other subs are up.
probably, maybe people are getting banned, censored so often they are probably looking at alternatives of reddit on reddit.
fuck u/spez
All of the subs I previously visited are being taken over by marketing campaigns and I find it is getting increasingly worse over time. They are slowly pushing out all the real users that generated the value of the site. The end game has to be just bots posting to bots.
im not surprised, the bots often go for unmoderated subs, because they wont be detected or shadowbanned as fast if they were in a normal modded sub. im in a forum where they often target subs with low moderation to pedal thier OF, or "business". Also because subs are very hard to obtain by a user if it becomes unmoderated.
Yep so when ppl google the reddit result as theyve gotten used to they just see ads disguised as comments, it's been an issue but gettin worse
Is there a piefed sub?
Yes but it's empty. I made it just so someone else couldn't.
They're scared of us
Lemmy happens to be the most free social network at the moment, which is enough to raise the ire of every other billionaire owned fascist social network.
I await the week of dreadful news when they start using their immense wealth to take down instances via DDoS attacks, one by one...
Cut off one head, three more rise in its place…
I don't know; I have neither the interest nor time to run one, and I have seen at least one go down recently (Lemmy.one) partly because of how complicated the whole system actually is. Individual enthusiasts may not have the resources to keep up against the long-term might of Meta, Reddit, etc. if they develop dedicated attack teams.
Hope springs eternal, though.
I think lemmy.today has been getting hit by bots. I remember someone mentioning the attack increasing over time.
Yeah i should look into hosting my own just in case but I'm not tech savvy enough and don't have the time to learn at the moment.
Still to busy trying to not go to jail from running my own company and never being sure if I'm doing tax stuff right

It's basically Stalinism
I'm glad they cleared that up, if people believe this shit, and the spooky stalin stories why are they still using reddit? Won't stalin find out? I hear he's got spys everywhere, maybe even in this thread!
I mean occums Occam's Razor, are we sure the mod(s) didn't delete their accounts leaving the community unmoderated or something?

does that result in this error message?
This community has been banned for violating the Reddit rules.
Have they given any explanation/justification?
Why even bother? Let them fucking die in Reddit. They choosed it, not us!
"But, but, but Reddit has communities that we don't have here" make one and promote it.
Ps: talking about Reddit when we said we gonna abandon it, does the opposite.
How many people here learned about Lemmy through Reddit? I did. Can't use Lemmy if you don't even know it's an option.
Its way better than it used to be. I don't know if that's just because there's less drama happening right now regarding reddit, but I didn't get a flooded front page when reddit's chatbot citations started plummeting which is a huge improvement over the past.

I don't think we should never talk about reddit, but I think it gets really annoying when people start clickbait spamming with Reddit headlines which hasn't happened in a while.

Yeah, but I still like watching the shitshow.
Amazed it existed at all. Reddit has been aggressive about censoring out the existence of rival platforms for years now.
The sub creator got suspended. Checked the Wayback Machine on their profile reveals they are very vocal about certain political issues in Lebanon (in April 2025, last archive). There is a very high chance of something related to that.
