Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.

I’m here now cuz of this article
Welcome!
Let's see, what useful welcomes advice can I share...?
- You'll find lots of Linux users here, but we're harmless.
- I'm not sure our interpretation of Star Trek's
Gowronhas any remaining relationship with the original character, but I guess he's one of our mascots, now. - If one of us starts to go on about how federation works, it's okay to nod and back away slowly. Federation works just fine without understanding it.

I hate my conspiricy theory minded family but if someone told me they had proof Musk expressly bought Twitter to get right wing power in America and used the buyer's remorse stock price manipulation attempt gone south as a cover story?
I'd believe it.
- He's dumber than you give him credit for
- What is the point of the supposed cover story? To cover from who, about what? He's literally paying people to vote, again. Next to that, buying a social media to influence it almost sounds democratic.
The reason that conspiracy theory is appealing is the same for all conspiracy theories; it's more comforting to think the powerful have a clever masterful evil plan than the sad reality that we're all making it up as we go, even the literal Nazis.

I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing
-
That's more or less why I left reddit came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here.
-
It looks like this is the ex-redditor handshake thread. Did anyone start here without coming from Reddit? I heard about Lemme during the IPO fallout but didn’t pursue it until the mass shadow ban rollout.
I’m also still jumping back and forth, but that’s only because the big content creators for hobby stuff are still on Reddit. Once they migrate, I’ll likely delete my account.

I'm brand new as well and hopeful but wow the smaller forums here need some love. The topic variety is small to the point where maybe straight up bot cloning subreddits here where posts on Reddit just get reposted to their Lemmy equivalent to kick start refugees feeling at home. Plus if there's basically cross platform discussion posts it gives ground for users of existing subreddits to migrate.

It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.
Sure lemmy isn't perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.
when it was good, it was real good. Every subject I could want in one place, and I could organize it as I wish.
Lemmy is a confusing mess and lacking in basic features compared to reddit (although there's probably front ends I could download that would fix my complaints).
Obviously, I'm here, so the inconvenience is an acceptable price for not being on reddit anymore.

Trump committed treason on jan 6th, 2021. That is enough reason to hang him, and yet he still breathes.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Think of it of getting in at the ground floor, where we'll create topics and in-jokes that will be repeated ad nauseum for decades!

I think the lack of profile-wide "karma" is one benefit, so there's not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.
There are apps which display the user karma though.

Shadow banned for making a very popular post about how to make DIY Luigi Mangione prayer candles using dollar tree candles, printer and a glue stick on witches vs patriarchy

Yeah, I'd deleted my Reddit posts and then my account in November. I was already irked at what they did to their API, and then the Orange Dingbat got elected and I decided it was enough.
Later on, I went back, but only to lurk, but since many of the specialised subs require that you join in able to read posts makes it pretty unusable at this point.
I miss the old Reddit; I was there for over a decade. But here we are, building a new place for ourselves.
Almost like the sites need the users more than the users need the sites.

I'm using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.

I have yet to come across a repost community here that actually gets any comments on the posts. I wound up unsubscribing from all of them because they just clog up my feed.

I'm here because I got shadowbannned for some unspecified reason.

I'm surprised that the loss of 3rd party apps almost 2 years ago wasn't the final straw for y'all, but either way I'm glad you finally made it here.
That's when I made the switch. I can't believe it's been that long already.

I got banned for saying we should punch Nazis, and calling Musk a cunt.
I regret nothing.
Thank you for your service
