There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!
-
The more people that transition over here the better it'll be (outside of some of some subs). I'm hopeful to see more community engagement.
the more and more reddit increasing thier filters to ban or remove comments we will see more. it going to take permabans for people to come here in large numbers. sooner or later reddit is just a clone of FACEBOOK.

What happened around the middle of February that caused that slight but sharp drop-off?
thats about the time when reddit was upping thier ban purges, my hunch is people who have lemmy mightve stop using temporarily to find out what was going on/repealing thier bans on reddit?
for a several days i dint immediately go to LEMMY after my permabans, but trying to find out the reason behind all these purges ? some people have multiple reddit accounts

A slightly different graph from Fedecan shows the user growth more clearly without the Hexbear blip
Highest daily growth since 2023 at 1.2k per day the past few days.
i wonder if those jumps are due to Reddits ban waves?

Can't. Banned for a 3-month old post supporting Luigi.
Clearly the inferior Mario brother.

Noticed on the shadow ban page that tons of people getting these bans everyday and no response from Reddit .

so basically a right wing propaganda/astroturf instances, no thanks had enough of that on reddit.

got permaban on 5+accts because reddit did what similar pornhub did, sanatize the site and only corporate content was left. it was getting increasingly hard to comment as anything other than right wing comments.

reddit has been going hard in being anti-luigi site recently. the 3 main subs are know that is controlled actively by admin is the shadowban, reddithelp, help, and by extension modhelp.

They're actually mostly anarchists/communists, so left wing

This is my first time here. I do not abide thought policing. Fuck Reddit, fuck Spez.
its thier OVERPOLICING that was the problem, it wouldve been fine if all they did was ban actual BOTS, you know the propaganda ones, but nope they went after everyone more aggresively than they did the above mentioned bots.

they went after your acct of 3month old post? im not surprised i find if i dont delete some comments some user was going into Old POSTS AND reporting it.
-
I should have used a code to change all my posts/comments to an advertisement for Lemmy. What are the going to do, ban me??
you can use powersuite delete, or shreddit. i rather just delete, so it wont get reported down the line.
-
Been checking and commenting on Lemmy everyday since I made my account. Its my new first opened app of the day now
and its so much better than trying to do that on reddit witha new account, they make it very hard engage with a brand new acct.
-
Literally seems like 1/4 the comments of Reddit, 1/1000 the userbase. I think between API lockdown and "violence" banning, the entire commenting community of Reddit came here lol.
when they allow so much astroturfing from the right, and anything remotely try to use a neutral word to describe a controversial ones, eg demographic instead of the POC actual race, will get you banned.
-
Lol yea calling Drump and dictators dumb is definitely abelist/s LMAO
yes, we get it, you're extremely edgy

I went through a phase where I would find good posts on reddit and then just copy the link and post here.. but as of now, reddit is like 95% anti-Trump posts so it's all noise. Lemmy is fairly noisy with that lately too but not as bad. I need to figure out a better way to filter out politics because it's ruining online discussion even in non-political threads, somehow it devolves into "orange man bad" somehow at some point and it's just tiresome going over the same topic over and over with the same talking points. Musk nazi, orange man bad.. when you see it 50000000000 times it just gets old after a while, with RES I am able to filter out subs which helps immensely but I don't think that's possible here. But like r/pics, r/interestingasfuck, r/lotr, r/lego, r/technology, r/news, many many others.. 90% political now, so the majority of the site is useless to me now. And it feels like it's majority bots now, probably LLM-generated discussion through an API, dead internet theory is in full speed ahead mode.
its also hard to chime in agreement with those post without someone misconstrueing your statement about anti-trump and getting reported too. i had to filter out some posts/or ignore because the amount of TRUMP news, pro or anti. in R/ALL i filter alot of subs that way.

For this reason if I go on Reddit for a niche item that's not here yet, I only lurk, no voting, commenting, nada.
Thankfully, I'm having to do that less and less.
i dont even bother commenting on niche, unless i know the sub isnt well moderated or the filters dont care about your comment. many subs currently are on very high, so even if you get a comment removed your account will be flagged but not banned, apparently they keep track of each comment that gets removed and may consider the account spamming.

I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on 'my other accounts' -- I've had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I've been there, I don't even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it's overturned I'm not sure I'm going back. They've gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it 'inciting violence.' Fuck 'em.
i heard about that situation, some people were getting temp banned, and then when the ban was lifted, they were permabanned. I think some mods mentioned reddit, or the sub does not reset thier filters once the bans was lifted so the filters automatically assume you are EVADING A ban.

Makes me wonder if a social site could advertise a "bot-free" environment somehow. Some sort of verification system, one e-mail, one verification picture (handwritten note picture maybe, not face or anything.) And only 1 account per human, no bots... I feel like that's going to have to happen eventually at the rate AI is going. Facebook is probably half-AI bots at this point already.
