Post with 22k upvotes mentions Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit
-
I never got banned. I just left because the greedy little CEO is a liar that sacrificed the only thing that made the site good, 3rd party apps, on the alter of the almighty dollar during the API debacle.
To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020. The killing of 3rd party apps just gave me the motivation to finally leave

Wasn't that when they banned /r/chapotraphouse?

It's unfortunate that people still think Brave is a good privacy alternative. Ungoogled-Chromium is a better alternative but also unfortunately requires manual upkeep. The best alternative is to use Mull or LibreWolf currently and some form of abstraction if you're concerned about security as well.

Maybe alongside the modern UIs, you could include a line about the mlmym interfaces.
But then they'll say it's confusing to have several links to the same website x)

I don’t know if we want users who can’t grasp the concept that Lemmy and Lemmy.world are different entities and thinks that all of Lemmy should just be Lemmy.com
I think just having a Lemmy branded app with a proper UX is a good thing but let’s not just throw the baby out with the bathwater chasing people who just want Lemmy to be Reddit but it doesn’t make them feel yucky using it.
Thank you for your comments on Reddit btw

Do we have any fun infographics to help educate those that aren't autodidacts?

In my opinion, most people won't get confused by the 'old' interface being at a different subdomain, especially as Reddit did it themselves (apparently they had
new.reddit.comwhich hosted an older redesign thanreddit.com, like wtf!?? But somehow people understood that distinction, so this should be fine) Then again, I could be too much of a nerd and overestimating people
(insert relevent xkcd here)btw, does sopuli.xyz have the mlmym interface?

Not sure if it's "fun", but there was this meme: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21725602

I really forgot how stupid some reddit comments are. I do not miss that site.
What if I told you that there are really stupid comments on Lemmy as well

Why is Brave bad?
-
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.
I appreciate the thought/effort.

I used to, then reddit banned me, now I cant delete my comments, it feels awful that im helping ppl and a site im banned from is making money off me, it doesnt matter if its even a dollar of ad money, what if my comment showing up on google motivates someone to dload the app
Sad that you would withold assistance to your fellow human just to spite a website.

There are stupid comments everywhere but the reddit user is a unique type of user that is infamous all across the internet.

Sketchy things happened in the past, that’s all I know. I simply don’t like it since it’s still chromium engine which wants to restrict Adblock

And as usual, the top comment related to Lemmy is people complaining about bad UX
Let's keep guiding them to better UX
Someone replied to their post, with arguments and explanations I personally think are pretty well though out.
