If there is a reason to escape, it is your instance you're escaping, not the whole network! This feels like a very promising feature :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago The target population for Lemmy and Reddit is the same and most Lemmy servers have the requirement to be 16 or older while reddit only requires to be 13, so of course almost everyone will be a Reddit refugee permalink fedilink source parent [–] misk@piefed.social 2 points 9 months ago* I mean this scenario is purely hypothetical, it won’t happen and these of people won’t come. The kind of person that’s hysterical enough to believe that Reddit would „ban pro-European subreddits” is also the kind of person that wouldn’t leave Twitter because they need their message of „Orange man bad” to reach as many people as possible, otherwise democracy will die. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 0 points 9 months ago (1 child) The irony 🫠 permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tuuktuuk@anarchist.nexus 2 points 8 months ago This is Reddit blocking Feddit.uk from requesting the page title, though. "maam", a user of feddit.uk, wrote the link there, and feddit.uk then opened the page behind the link, in order to get the title of the page. The title provided by old.reddit.com was "Blocked", and that's what feddit.uk wrote there. So, neither feddit.uk nor lemmy.dbzer0.com are blocking Reddit. To some extent a block seems to exist in the opposite direction already, though! permalink fedilink source parent
