Bye Reddit

A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.

There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.

It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

GG Allin possession is a great note to leave on, congrats!

I just wanted something different so I came here. Also trying to fedi my fun and leave old services that have been enshittified.

The main "encouraging violence" fantasy I have is the next Wolfenstein spiritual sequel. The series has always had G.I. Robot's absolute adoration for the process of painfully ending Nazis' lives, and as long as it could pick out its exact (in-game) faction targets well, like I.C.E., and takes some ideas from Doom's glory kills, it could be a lot of fun.

GG Allin! I saw a doco on him a few years back called Hated.

Whole shit was that insane. When he jumped into the crowd and started smearing them with poo. He just didn't give a fuck.

The Fediverse exists because developers and users alike believe in freedom. Freedom is always limited in some degree in centralized structures. Other platforms have an incredible advantage though, which is having a large user base. But all the people in the Fediverse chose for the free (as in libre) alternative regardless. And so the monopolies will be challenged. The alternatives are there, and whenever momentum grows, it will expand. I believe that eventually the Fediverse will win, simply because it's a convincing idea, worthy of our faith, and so we stick with it. Don't be demoralized by it taking time. Freedom persists if we continue to believe.

Would have been two days ago, but I was doing yardwork this weekend from when I got up until I dropped and wasn't online.

I don't tend to post things that would get me a ban, but the principle of it and who was actually catching the consequences made it clear who was taking the space over. I almost moved here back during the mod api protests and I refused to use reddit for about six months, but this is a point of no return. Hopefully activity will increase in the topics I read about.

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@lemmy.world and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.

We have Tankies here too, but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. On .world instance you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them
