Yes

Downvote to disagree, upvote to agree

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.

Permabans with no way to appeal are ridiculous.

And then to add that if you create a new account to get around a subreddit ban then that makes you eligible for a sitewide ban is even more ridiculous.

[–] DLAN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I got permabanned from r/pics a while back because under a generic Facebook photo of an interracial couple at their wedding somebody asked why it was posted there and I responded “Reddit loves interracial couples”. That was it. The irony is that my marriage is interracial.

A lot of this is because the prevalent attitude has been 'it's the internet, it doesn't matter', and that allowed people to do things that we, as a society, decided long ago that people weren't supposed to do.

[–] WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.

[–] elaina_pits@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

How's the stay feels? I tried Lemmy back in the API fiasco but felt that it's too barren. Fwiw users is what makes the platform, like how Digg was demolished back in the day.

[–] Deathstalkr1@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same here. Reddit is going downhill real fast.

[–] WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Reddit has been going downhill for a decade. The problem was that there were no viable alternatives. Now that /u/Spez has pushed the issue, he forced enough people into Lemmy that it is suddenly a viable alternative. I call that a win!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

I will stay as long as they don't do what Reddit did.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I'm on every website known to mankind, a world record I wish to keep, so yes.

[–] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

[–] Proxima_Centauri11@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Someone told me about https://sub.rehab/, so I just check that every few days to see if my favorites show up there!

[–] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ooohhh I'm gonna start using that from now on!

[–] scritchyscratch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s pretty neato. As an aside, can you save comments on lemmy?

[–] Proxima_Centauri11@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You can! I use Jeroa on Android, and you can tap the bookmark button to save comments, and I think it's a similar process on Desktop.

[–] Damaskox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I've been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and...seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I've already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤

I hope I'll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀

[–] holiday@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.

[–] DharmaCurious@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm a filthy casual, and I think I'll be staying. I might try out Kbin when they get a mobile app, because I'd like to be able to follow mastodon and the fediverse versions of reddit from the same app. But I love it here so far. There are a few subs I really miss (witches vs the patriarchy, some science subs, and a whole bunch of academic and religious subs), but I'm fairly confident that most of those will make their way here eventually. If not en mass, then a trickle of like minded folks.

[–] bilb@lem.monster 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was already on lemmy dammit

[–] pineapplefriedrice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

These poor lemmy users who aren't on reddit. Suddenly a herd of raging ex-redditors come storming into their otherwise quiet community and take shit over. :)

[–] egeres@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, but

The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)

[–] AncientFutureNow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So far, so good. Keep the bigotry and fascists in check and I'll stick around. I tried to make a community (a page for my band) just now and it just loads and loads when I hit submit. Anyone else had that problem? I turned off all my ad blockers. The issue persists.

edit: I was able to make a community today. Check out !jambands if you're into that kind of thing! :)

edit2: 12/13/23 Lemmy has lots of bigots and incels now.

edit3: 2/14/24 Lemmy now seems to have bigot and incels mods running many "front page" communities.

[–] Tandybaum@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.

I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.

[–] berno@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Also "a serious Reddit user since the digg incident" and won't be going back. There are some communities I'll miss, but I look forward to rebuilding them here.

Spez really really fucked up on this one. A few tweaks and mobile app with the same no-bullshit styles like narwhal, apollo, and RIF on android and this place wins every time

[–] Aribert@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, even more likely if I find a good iOS app for Lemmy.

[–] dynamicperson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Mlem/Memmy app. Very early stages of development, but looking really promosing. I have both, can't decide which one will end up being the daily driver yet. But how cool would it be if Apollo was ported over?

[–] JeffCraig@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

It depends on the tech. I'm not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There's already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.

I also don't think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.

I hope these issues are resolved, and I'll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I'll do the same with reddit. I'm not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.

[–] BlitzFitz@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago

Is there any way to do actual Polls with Lemmy?
