        I'm surprised that Reddit has any active users, personally. It's just so... Fake now.

        And so many more right wingers. Even 10 years ago those people would have been downvoted to oblivion now they make top comments.

        Reddit for me was an escape from my red state and actually talk about policies I'd like to see along with just other general interest. And if I want to shit on someone for their take or just to blow off Steam. That was the place to do it. It hasn't been that for about 2 years now. I've been off reddit completely for the last 6 months.

        I won't even click a Google link to it in search results.

        I really would like lemmy to become more popular because it's user base is so small

          Bro just DCA bitcoin. Done.

          It's extremely difficult to double your investment with BTC if you start at this point. There are far better stock market investments out there now.

          You could always just help improve society for money, instead of trying to scrape out free money like some selfish bastard?

            Yes, I expressed outrage at a disgusting state sanctioned murder in Iraq and suggested the invaders perpetrating these horror deserve to see the same kind of violence in their own cities.
            Permaban of the entire website forever. I could easily evade the ban but, this was also when the API trouble and the "reddit is fun" app stopped working.
            The writing was on the wall, duck that place and everyone in it. I won't be taken hostage anymore.

            I never looked back and I'm glad I did, I was wasting so much of my precious time in that ducking disgusting dump. I hope Lemmy doesn't Septemberify for a long time. I really hope steps are taken to prevent centralization and owner dominance of Lemmy before it becomes reddit with extra steps

                I got my 15 year old account permanently banned for filing one report against a user who was stalking my profile to call me slurs. (This was “abusing the report button”, apparently.) Everyone in my household got their accounts banned alongside mine. It’s very strange how the site is being run now.

                  Still waiting for the Reddit purge of Wincest, Rape, and Zoo subs. There's a whole little toxic corner they allow to continue. I used to think they were honey pots. Now I'm not so sure.

                    Yeah my 10+ yr account was like #340 in comment karma or some shit, I was clearly a contributor, but they banned me for nothing. Wish I would have sold it now.

                      Because we live in a world where it's easy to block offensive words, so much so that the powers that be like to pretend that blocking talk about the 'cest is somehow an effective tool in combating it. (When instead it just coins an endless stream of new words that act as synonyms for 'the bad words'. 'Cause funk you. Funk you to heck!)

                        Bitcoin: simultaneously too low of a return to be worth investing vs stocks, while being too high of a free return for doing nothing.

                          Yeah. When my 12 year old account got banned I stopped caring about that site and started creating new accounts every week and just posting whatever the hell I wanted without feeling like I needed to censor myself anymore. So their ban happy culture tends to have the opposite effect of what they want.

                          There's a browser script out there that auto-adds all your subs back from your old account, so it really wasn't even inconvenient for me other than the 2 minutes it takes to create a throwaway email account and create a new throwaway Reddit account.

                          And yeah, their methods for preventing you from coming back end up preventing others using the same computer or in the same household from coming back, so they just lose users. Their methods aren't very sophisticated though, so it's pretty easy to avoid them.

                          Shit site.

                              Caught a permaban for calling someone a coward. No big loss, honestly. Reddit wasn't doing anything for me except raising my blood pressure.

                                Originally it was from the supernatural community writing shipfics about Sam and Dean Winchester. Eventually the meaning diluted, and you had 4chan spouting "incest is wincest." Reddit's core userbase was poached from other web 2.0 sites, including 4chan, and so the echoes of imageboard culture live on.

                                      The user numbers were bogus anyway since Reddit didn't automatically decrement the user number after banning a member. The banned member had to manually unjoin the subreddit. So the membership count was inflated with banned members.

                                          I have very little sympathy for reddit mods. Too many of them are petty little tyrants with no checks on them. I hope the door hits them on the ass.
