Fediverse memes

They took my app dammit. Twice actually, I'd been on alien blue. I'd rather put up with you people than their awful app

I still have RiF installed 🤷

I used the Reddit is Fun app lmfor like 15 years. The second they took that away I was gone.

I was device and IP banned for saying Americans needed to have the Guillotines in the streets.

I stand by what I said lol.

Bottom left. I was curious.

Turns out I just found a second reddit, and it's occasionally good!

6/9 also the algorithm change in r/popular was the most damning. Reddit says that ICE is suddenly cool?

Trump threatened greenland, had all the tech bros at his inauguration and one of them was high on ketamine and heiling, so I figured it was time to leave as many American social media platforms as possible.

The only one I still use is youtube and that's in a logged out state and in a browser.

Can't say I miss Facebook, Instagram and reddit. It's been over a year and I barely think about it nowadays.

I have my issues with Lemmy, but you can filter out most of the bs so at this point it's mostly memes, animal fotography and other wholesome stuff that's left in my feed. Life is good.

For the vast majority of Fediverse users, it was either Elon Musk's announcement in February, 2022, to buy out Twitter, or Elon Musk's actual Twitter buyout in October, 2022.

Followed by a tweet that must have looked something like this:

join mastodon its literally twitter without musk https://mastodon.social/

As for me, I joined the Fediverse long before there was Lemmy, long before there was even Mastodon, even before it was named Fediverse. I stumbled upon a free, open-source, self-hostable alternative to Facebook that even had features beyond Facebook.

Wow, 9 reasons on the card, and none of them are "rampant bigotry and bootlicker propaganda being pushed to the top page on a daily basis"

Reddit became too stale for me after a while. Sometimes I still post memes there or look up something, but otherwise my main way of getting information became kbin, later Lemmy once Ernest disappeared, though it was helped by Xitter also becoming an unreliable astroturfed garbage with CSAM generator integrated.

\ BINGO \

Let me assure you though that it's entirely possible to get banned from Lemmy as well. Not quite as permanently though, but still.

Ppl are less insufferable here. Aside from an occasional tankie or Xi bot trying to convince me that having the same ruler for 15 years is good for you actually, we're vibin'

Third party apps did it for me and most of us with accounts around 3 years old.

Fuck ****.

I know I don't have to censor things on Lemmy, but I don't want to be rude anyway.

Shouldnt the top middle be the free space?

Apollo for Reddit died

Mine isn't there as an option, the internet was designed and built to be a free and open decentralised place. power, data, and control over the internet shouldnt be concentrated in a small number of corporations or governments. Instead, infrastructure, identity, content, and money should be spread across many independent nodes that no single entity controls. The fediverse is the return to what the internet always has been and always will be, just there was a small blip over the last decade or so where we lost our way.

You don’t have one for “Longtime lurker who used reddit for their daily dose of catching-up-with-the-world but found that the r/all was increasingly showing reality tv discussion subs that they had no interest in”.

We are all kind of tech hippies here, right? Isn't that kinda important?

Long live Apollo.

I didn't get a bingo, but;

• Fuck Spez (obviously)
• Bots and AI (loathing both, even and especially the constant automoderator spam)
• try something new (and it's going well!)

The API change and the general tone they took towards the community when they implemented it.

Does wishing death on Elon Musk and Trump count as a good reason, or a 'good' reason?

none of these say anything about moving due to privacy concerns and I feel like thats a huge market here.

Top left for me. It was the clear sign I needed to see that Reddit was on the fast entshitification route.

I guess I'm neutral good. Wait, is this not an alignment chart?

Column 1 straight down Team!
