Post with 22k upvotes mentions Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit

That just seems malicious to anyone who might find your answer and get increasingly frustrated by your incorrect advice.
That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.
They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.

yeah I left reddit completely and moved to lemmy. but search results still show reddit threads sometimes. so that particular thing is malicious to everyone and has very little to do with reddit.
its just shitty. a much better way to do it would be to edit the comment with an addendum to say how crap reddit is and there are alternatives with a link.
don't punish normal people who are desperate to find a solution to something.

Nice, but the only comment I see about Lemmy, is someone who can't comprehend that the domain "lemmy.world" exists and not "lemmy.com", because "that's what an internet address is to the average user".

Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.
Though some subs I've been banned from over there the reasons were as simple as "criticizing China and/or Russia" or "participating in a specific other sub"
The subs I hang around in are currently the same to right wingers (downvoted to oblivion) but that's partly because attempting to participate in a lot of lefty subs over there you get banned for talking about China in a negative way. The other subs aren't political so those ones aren't too bad.

God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won't give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. "This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad" instead of understanding that maybe there's a reason it's built that way.

Be careful with that. I went back in time and edited my posts to contain small errors to make them useless wastes of time for the reader and poison AI.
Yeah and we hate you for it.

No, it's not your problem, it's the rest of ours (thanks for that), but it is your fault.

Leaving your comments up contributes value to Reddit. Value you provided them before they fucked you. If you take them down, people will just have to find that information elsewhere. It sucks that they're no longer available for the public, but that's on Reddit, not the user who removed their comments.

Well, I’m kind of stuck with it at this point. I appealed it and they never answered. Not much I can do. Oh well.

And as usual, the top comment related to Lemmy is people complaining about bad UX
Let's keep guiding them to better UX

Sadly what he says is true to many.
I've seen people who were directed to p.lemmy.world call it a dodgy virus link.
And honestly it does look dodgy, lemmy.com would be great.

I'm willing to discuss UI/UX issues but that top comment is just stupid.
The first complaint is that "lemmy.world" shouldn't exist, because websites should be dot com. That's not a UI/UX issue, that's just ignorance. As we all know Bluesky has also failed to pickup any users due to its URL bsky.app, you obviously can't have a dot app website!
The second argument is worth looking at, but it's unclear based on their comment what went wrong. If you go to Reddit and search for Brazil/Brasil do you just magically find every community you're looking for? I doubt it. Discovery can and should be improved but this person found an instance before a community?

I've been trying the Photon/Voyager approach, the issue is that some people despise Photon and modernist interfaces with a passion, there's a comment on that thread I had to link to old.lemmy.zip

I don't have any issues with the lemmy interface.
I'd rather they don't mess it up to appease people who prefer reddit's interface, old or new.

Really shows the average intelligence of the average internet user.
As I get smarter, they just stay the same!

Reddit is trash. I got banned for hating on Nazis, they will bend to Trump, cut off porn and throw the ban hammer down. Reddit is only good for finding tech answers from the past. Everything else is trash.
Reddit is a censorship hellhole.
The modlog is one of the greatest features of lemmy.
Fuck censorship.

This only makes the problem worse. We need to expose people to other TLDs and subdomains so they can see for themselves how expansive and adaptable the internet really is.
