They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
It’s why I came here…
“Free speech absolutist” 🤣🤣🤣
This was finally the point that made me come here
My God they’ve pissed off Hitler
I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.
Reddit is dead to me and I was with it since near the beginning.
I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell” - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.
There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I’ve never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech
While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked
It is unfortunate
Steve Bannon isnt welcome in Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldn’t host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time
Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT
Told you so r/Coloradosprings
Fuck yall
That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
Same. Just created my account
I think we chose well.
Welcome fellow former redditor!
I’ve been here for about a month, switching bettween this and Reddit, while still mostly using Reddit. This made me leave Reddit completely. This and getting banned for 3 days for upvoting a comment was the final straw.
In over 2 decades of internet, i can safely say banning users for upvoting things is the most ridiculous thing i’ve ever seen a discussion board do. Just remove upvotes at this point and have the feed curated by Lord Muskrat.
Similar final straw for me.
I had wrote an anti putin thing under a post of Selenskyj where he stated putin will soon die, I confirmed that I hope so too and got like 400 upvotes and a hour or two later got deleted and a 3 day ban.
Since democracy is literally built on murdering fascists and monarchs (or just authoritarians in generel), it seems pretty wild to me that it’s seen as a radical belief that they should die. If we’re forced to tolerate leaders whose claim to power is based on supressing and murdering dissidents in an effort to quash democratic thought, what in the actual fuck are we supposed to do to?
I’m surprised that the loss of 3rd party apps almost 2 years ago wasn’t the final straw for y’all, but either way I’m glad you finally made it here.
That’s when I made the switch. I can’t believe it’s been that long already.
Yeah same, I guess time flies when you’re bombarded with shit 24/7
I should go. <3
Yeah that was when I finally left too. I just didn’t think it was worth it if I had to use the website or their crappy app
I’ve been using an unofficial Infinity For Reddit version since then, so it didn’t really make a difference for me.
I got here because they killed Apollo 🫶🏻 never forget
I use Voyager now for lemmy
Unlike others, i didn’t get banned from Reddit, i just wanted to get a head-start learning this site, because Reddit is on the way to become X2.
I’m brand new as well and hopeful but wow the smaller forums here need some love. The topic variety is small to the point where maybe straight up bot cloning subreddits here where posts on Reddit just get reposted to their Lemmy equivalent to kick start refugees feeling at home. Plus if there’s basically cross platform discussion posts it gives ground for users of existing subreddits to migrate.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Think of it of getting in at the ground floor, where we’ll create topics and in-jokes that will be repeated ad nauseum for decades!
I have yet to come across a repost community here that actually gets any comments on the posts. I wound up unsubscribing from all of them because they just clog up my feed.
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
Welcome, fellow ex redditor.
Thanks :)
same!
Welcome for both of us! :)
Welcome to the party!
Welcome friend!!
Welcome here!
Let’s be real here, Pig Boy didn’t need Elon to pressure him much to clamp down on people critical of the elite.
That’s why I’m here. Whatever musk touches turns to shit.
Shadow banned for making a very popular post about how to make DIY Luigi Mangione prayer candles using dollar tree candles, printer and a glue stick on witches vs patriarchy
I just got a temporary ban for cussing out Elon in one of the antifacist subreddits, felt good. I’m wearing this ban as a badge of honor.
Elon acts like a dude with a very tiny penis.
