Yea, reddit api thing burned that bridge, been happy ever since.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Though I will say, I have no personal experience of the stress and burden of running an instance myself. Especially one where the admins are actively trying to cultivate a non-toxic environment. That workload and the toxicity it exposes you to must be hell.
Personally I've had almost entirely positive experiences here, up to and including currently. But I stay out of politics, I've curated my subscriptions carefully and I never browse /all.
Is there really that much sports on Lemmy? For the longest time it seemed completely barren. Even now Soccer is just having stable but very minor activity. Formula 1 is fairly active though I guess.
And that just sounds like too much work. Much easier to see what you want to see on /subscribed and then put the phone away.
Most of the furry and anime porn is on a dedicated instance, just block that and you're done.
No, just the posts, I don't think you have the ability to block comments from one instance.
And if an entire instance is dedicated to NSFW content, the chances of missing something good are slim to none.
I use Boost, I'm not sure if it's an app feature or a platform feature.
I'm a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I'm decent, you see?
Are we the same person? I was on lemon.ee for a month before it shut down. Then actually jumped to another account after hexbear when I started to find out more about them.
i avoided those instances, after i heard how bad they were accidentally engaging in thier posts, they rubbed the wrong way so i blocked them before could recieve a ban from them.
I want this read at my funeral
Wait a second. You got banned from Reddit two years ago. Then you got onto lemm.ee and then immediately started shitposting in hexbear. Got banned, went back to lemm.ee, tanked that community through abuse and neglect. And had to migrate to... cracypeople.online?
And the problem is with... everyone else?
Is there reason to assume the hexbear “offense” was bad faith and they contributed to lemm.ee’s decline.
Hexbear can ban you for not thinking Russia is doing good by invading ukraine. So I wouldn’t take a Hexbear ban very seriously.
On my lemm.ee account I just kinda joined a hexbear conversation from /all without realising it was hexbear and got downvoted to hell and banned for being vaguely anti-authoritarian.
Hexbear users routinely cause strife in other instances' comms just because they criticize the ML regimes they support.
you would be a great fit for Hexbear with that high quality revisionism
I was never banned from reddit. I left due to the decisions of their management, mostly regarding 3rd party app api connectivity, but also their decisions regarding the content of the users and Ai scraping, and related to singular governing structure.
I've not been a shit poster that I'm aware of, I think I was banned for disagreeing with their ...slightly awkward... political leanings.
your comments about tanking the community are empty and seem to be a juvenile attempt to illicit some dumb troll emotional response. lol @ you.
I love how you made up an entire false origin story out of four select words.
To be fair @ptz@dubvee.org
You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.
Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡
Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.
Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.
You abandoning lemmy completely or just the instance? If the former, will you be going back to reddit or avoiding this format completely?
Lemmy and the fediverse entirely. I guess you could also say social media entirely as this was my last vestige of it.
Planning to re-join the real world and put my energy into actual positive things.
I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.
99% is still dumb as rocks though
Fediverse users who are here because uhh privacy
Lemmy is not, and never has been private. It's highly public
I came here because I was permabanned from all os Reddit because I wrote an elevator lie about. A fictitious lie about a cheese man roaming the campus late at night
Edit:I’m sorry I can’t make this coherent I’m knocked badly
I dont care. If you got banned from reddit youre doing the world a great service.
What is the 3rd option here?
sick of lemmy's shit but there's nowhere better to go?
I came here when the reddit api thing happened, and have since blocked .ml because I don't want to deal with their shit. Problem though, the .ml admins are the lemmy devs, so using lemmy at all supports .ml and their bullshit.
Where else is there? Hive is a crypto scam, and every other option I've seen suggested isn't like reddit or lemmy. I guess there's piefed, but I don't understand how that isn't just lemmy but worse/different (if someone can explain it to me please do).
PieFed is parallel to Lemmy so it's being developed by other people, afaik. I think that's the beauty of the Fediverse, that if you don't like something or someone, you're free to make your own.
If your main gripe is with the devs, then definitely switch. I've been meaning to but I've been lazy. So I guess see you on the other side!
i made an account on piefed social, but they block nsfw communities so that's a non-starter. Is there an index of piefed instances similar to how lemmy has join-lemmy org?
Well why are you here
I like it here for the most part but I don’t like the reddit tendencies. Stuff we solved many years ago there. Why is it not great anymore?
Im here because I'm fucking stubborn.
I hate the Reddit app, give me back RIF and I'll abandon this place in a heartbeat. Give me a paid Reddit option to fuck the adds off and Ill take it. Ill pay $20 a month not to have to listen to you neckbeards to try and make literally every conversation about capitalism, linux or Trump.
Bunch of one note ass motherfuckers, you think I dont know the world sucks? I want some escapism for fuck sake.
Looks like you want to be free. There is an easy way to do that, if I may ask for just 5 minutes of your time....
I want some escapism for fuck sake.

If Trump switched to Linux capitalism would fall
I keep getting banned for the dumbest shit these days. God forbid you insult Nancy pelosi for some reason. I got banned for jokingly saying "pour beans in his mouth" as petty revenge for someone farting in a CPAP. It's is getting dumbed down so bad over there
The frontpage was never good, but hooo boy.
Every time I catch a peek now it's the same Am I the Asshole (they're obviously not), Am I Overreacting (My husband called me 15 different slurs, AIO????), and the same stupid AskReddit questions (Americans of Reddit, how do you feel living in a ruined country?)
I swear, back then there were bots reposting old posts and reply chains, now they must be AI generating the whole thing because all the frontpage shit is the exact same posts, following the same format, day after day.
At this point I wouldn't go back even if rolled back their shitty changes.
If Reddit ever disclosed how many "users" were bots, I'm quite confident it would be >80%. 95%+ of everything we see on the front page. Now consider who is running those bots, and why. What kind of opinions are they trying to shape?
Happy cake day!
I’ve been banned on reddit for nothing so many times lol. People were saying something about a white person, and I made a very innocuous joke like “white people are the worst!” and I kid you not, some worthless reddit brained dumbfuck called me racist and told me to GTFO. I was perma banned. Stuff like that a million times over.
Have you heard of FreeBSD or Haiku? You could become even more extreme than us Linux users. Think about it!
For reddit I use RedReader, I don't know if that will be enough for you tho.
I'm really sorry to hear you burnt out and of your experience. Thanks for all you have done for threadiverse and tesseract. Hope you get a peace of mind after 31st.
But the moral of the story from the episode was that they were both necessary. Vital sub-components of one complete terminally online poster. You can't really have one without the other.
The bans are mostly meaningless these days tho. Its so easy to make a new account and bypass detections.
not on reddit though, much harder to bypass since they upped thier bannings and detection methods this year and recently too. the ones that are bypassing on reddit usually are using hundreds of account at once and earning some money from doing it. additionally they also are using AI to indiscirminately ban people.
if you're using the mobile apps then yea you're fucked, don't do that
Its still super easy just search the web how to. Use a new browser window with new email on mobile network connection - its literally impossible to reliably fingerprint this.
Oh geez, Rick... These guys sure like their echo chambers...
YeURRRPep, Morty. Duh... How else would CoOURRRRGHPOommunism sound like a good idea?
