Talking about Reddit on Lemmy is getting really old.
Cry more, you’re admitting to still being on Reddit
I’m still on Reddit too, and I bet a lot of people who came here from there are. Lemmy just isn’t a fully viable replacement yet.
Sounds fine, valid points. No reason to complain about reddit here though.
I’m glad to see it at least, though maybe it would also make sense to be posted on !reddit@lemmy.world
Why. Are you still there!?
Because Facebook posts Reddit links, duh…
Why are you on reddit in the first place?
Why are you on reddit in the first place?
People share it on Facebook and it pops up in my feed, so I go to reddit to see what people are saying and… censorship. Locked comments because they’re afraid of words
Why are you on Facebook in the first place?
Being an election related thread it probably turned into a bunch of toddlers shouting fuck you at each other and they probably locked it because of that.
That’s the thing about that sort of censorship though, you can only guess what it might have been. Your guess seems plausible, but it’s just a guess, and when the guess that Reddit mods were acting in good faith turns out to have been wrong, they don’t want you to know about it.
Ah, ok.
You’re on Facebook too? LolYeah lmao how else do you keep up with friends? You can unironically still use Facebook for friends only using Feeds > Friends
I talk to my friends. We even get together every weekend. Some I see every few months. Some during events. Lunches, dinners, weddings, anniversaries, funerals, concerts, movies. Sometimes just because some of us all happen to have the same day off.
Family is the same way. People can communicate fine without Facebook, and we did so for thousands of years.
Bro if you only know about them because of Facebook they ain’t you friends. Also the bartender and stripper don’t love you.
What about the lonely milfs in my area? You can’t tell me they don’t actually want my body…
Milfhunter spotted
😂
Quit dunking on OP, he is posting here also jfc.
Meh, no one should be on Facebook.
Too many people say nothing when it’s mentioned, so tacit approval is assumed.
I’ve blocked sites like Twitter and FB, etc, on all my devices and networks. My friends and family still send me links, after I’ve repeatedly told them my devices can’t go to those websites (I’ve never once in my life been on either one).
So I think it’s appropriate to point out using FB is as problematic as Reddit (worse actually. It needs to be continually said.
FB had the Cambridge Analytica scandal that exposed how bad it is, and people still use it 🤦🏼♂️. They had tracking pixels for years, and whole I’ve never even visited the FB website, those bastards have a profile on me.
So no, fuck FB.
I don’t disagree but there is a line, and we should not be pushing people away. I think a discussion such as this will convey the message better though so person can receive the info in non confrontational manner. Common sense should result in more users since good facts are on fediverse side. Everyone is a future fedi user they just don’t know it yet lol
I was being light hearted, but you’re absolutely right. Thank you for checking me.
Didn’t mean to be rude to you Buttflapper.
Every time I see someone say a ridiculous name in the comments, I immediately look back at the previous comment to see the username and laugh. This is the first time I was fooled.
Edit: Oh wait, I wasn’t fooled. I just didn’t go far enough!
ty ty… i don’t mind a bit of horse play but i have heard people saying sometimes we are not welcoming, so i try to give fresh meat a pleasant entrance.
we get into a pissing match about something with more gravitas.
good vibes all around here tho
My benefit of the doubt these days is that mods were the first to abandon ship. It’s been a while since I checked in, but every community was understaffed or had new people doing everything.
Where are they going though…? We don’t have many more users here on Lemmy so…
They probably weren’t in a huge hurry to be mods anywhere else after spending all those years working for free only to see all that hard work sold off to fill Steve Huffman’s pockets and their website destroyed by corporate greed.
I imagine a lot of them just decided to do something else after all that
I’d assume a lot of people just don’t participate as much as they used to, even if they still use Reddit, and other people probably just gave it up or use other traditional social media instead 🤷♂️
Yup I admitted that I use Facebook and people are angry about it up above. Oh well
I understand their intent which I disagree with…but always wonder who is actually making the decisions over there. Seem like much more Admins doing post locking and removal vs. the group mods
Sounds like Reddit should disable post comment/s.
Might as well just disable the whole site
Many of us tried. Not exactly loic-level mischief, but it was a concerted effort.
Sounds about par for the course on Reddit. That’s one of the many reasons I don’t go on there anymore
