You know what I DON’T miss from Reddit? Having a 75% chance of having your submissions immediately removed anytime you post something. (media.artemis.camp)
Squabbles is now Squabblr (kbin.social)
Just an FYI about another Reddit alternative. New URL, too. I think they decided to change the name to avoid a copyright issue.
Finally got access to Tildes today... Seems unimpressive (kbin.social)
I got an invite code and so spent a bit of time browsing around because I'd heard good things about it. But I was surprised at how basic and non-diverse it all is. The forums are preset and are very generic. The conversations are definitely better than Reddit, but no better or worse than the ones I've had with people on Fedi....
11 year old account deleted today. Final straw.
Was banned from the sinusitis subreddit for telling (apparently a mod) that a deviated septum absolutely can cause a sinus infection. He got upset and banned me- and even denied my ability to respond to the ban....
The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won. (gizmodo.com)
The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as "the official end of the battle," which seems an overstatement to me, but it's the certainly the end of the initial phase....
I love kbin but the login bug persists and I can't take it anymore (kbin.social)
I've probably spent an hour in the past month just trying to login to kbin, clearing site data, refreshing, retrying. I thought the bug was fixed recently but it's worse than ever now....
thank you, spez (moist.catsweat.com)
i have been working through the stages of grief over my dear, departed friend reddit. many years we spent together. it has been clear though, that the reddit governance committees that now exist in the corporate ether have different priorities than those priorities that governed its creation....
Maybe it's fine to leave some people behind... (lemmy.ca)
Fragrance community
Hey everyone - I created a Fragrance community about a week ago. I try to post something every day. Feel free to browse, comment, join, up/down vote, tell your friends....
Reddit down? (www.redditstatus.com)
Seems like Reddit is experiencing issues at the moment, maybe a good time for more users to find their way to Lemmy communities?
Another Reddit Ship-Jumper Here
Just past my first Cake Day I was slapped with a 3-day suspension for using bad language clearly tagged with /s. I appealed it and was denied. Screw it, then. Account deleted.
does anyone regret deleting their Reddit accounts during the failed protest? (kbin.social)
just curious if anyone regrets going nuclear...
Using gedit to read reddits (lemmy.world)
although I am using lemmy almost exclusively , I am using geddit at times for reading reddits , It is a good app that does not use reddit api !
Be wary of spiteful Reddit users (kbin.social)
In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like...
Reddit refugee with a question
Hello all,...
Reddit removes my post about how Reddit doesn't accept my GDPR request (lemm.ee)
I’m pretty sure this is illegal? They have to accept my GDPR request, and they certainly can’t block me from reporting that it isn’t working, for them to accept it.
Aaron is no longer considered as cofounder by reddit. He fought for free speech. - Lemmy.world (lemmy.world)
browsing other instances?
do any off the Lemmy or kbin apps provide a way to browse instances other than your own? kind of like filtering for “local” posts but local to another federated instance....
Reddit calls for “a few new mods” after axing, polarizing some of its best (arstechnica.com)
Will Reddit get quality replacements? "Not a snowball's chance in hell."
just making sure they can't recreate my deleted posts and comments even in a disassociated state after they delete my account. (sopuli.xyz)
I found a plug-in for Firefox that deletes all posts and comments from your reddit account. (Power Delete Suite). Now I am in talks with reddit, to have them delete my account and data....
Reddit Tests is Own Verification Markers with ‘Official’ Profile Tags (www.socialmediatoday.com)
Huffmann is definitely coying his idol Elon with the verified account thingy… which he can then use to pressure advertisers into paying more, see engadget.com/x-tells-advertisers-to-spend-1000-pe…
