Airing of Grievances Part I: We are not the same.
-
Reddit can associate accounts over time.
They try bur they're really bad at it. I'm on my 10th account or so and so is everyone else.

The frontpage was never good, but hooo boy.
Every time I catch a peek now it's the same Am I the Asshole (they're obviously not), Am I Overreacting (My husband called me 15 different slurs, AIO????), and the same stupid AskReddit questions (Americans of Reddit, how do you feel living in a ruined country?)I swear, back then there were bots reposting old posts and reply chains, now they must be AI generating the whole thing because all the frontpage shit is the exact same posts, following the same format, day after day.
At this point I wouldn't go back even if rolled back their shitty changes.
Where are the people who made Reddit fun to use?
-
I've been perma-banned from reddit a bunch and I eventually just got tired of making new accounts lol.
heheh they use some kind of fingerprinting, a combination of your OS, ISP IP, and browser. At some point you can't keep creating new accounts.
-
I like it here for the most part but I donβt like the reddit tendencies. Stuff we solved many years ago there. Why is it not great anymore?
People ruin everything.

The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won't be going offline in 2 weeks.
I'm here because I was banned from Reddit for speaking against fascism.

Same, but kind of sucky sharing a perimeter with authoritarians and the worst kind of anarchists. If Lemmy were a physical location and not an online space I'd be sleeping fully armed.
aka a subway station

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I used an encrypted email to make my last account

What do you consider the worst kind of anarchist? If I were to guess it would be anarco capitalists. Because they're just capitalists. But that's just me.

Huh? Communists in Weimar Germany were denouncing Social democrats as social fascists and fought them because they were part of the capitalist liberal democratic system. Communists and Nazis at times were even allies of convenience against democracy.
Soon after the communist Soviets split Poland with Hitler.
The social democrats gave military hardware to the freikorp to put down the communists and arranged the assassination of Rosa Luxembourg. The communists said the SPD were creating the conditions for fascism, and they were correct. Hitler came to power when the SPD ran a conservative candidate as their "best shot at stopping the nazis". They won. That conservative proceeded to staff the government with nazis while cracking down on the left until it was trivial for the nazis to engineer a coup.
Regarding the molotov-ribontrope, if thats an alliance of convenience, what is every capitalist power arming Germany and splitting Czechslovakia between Germany and Poland, while ignoring the USSR's offer to invade Germany with 1 million men?
(yeah I'm posting wikipedia, I don't feel like spending the rest of my sunday night hunting down the specific books on libgen that are cited on each page, suffice it to say these are events which did occur, and even English Wikipedia doesn't deny them, the problem with a lot of these pacts is that they are named different things by different countries)
Four-Power Pact (worth noting france did not ratify)
Anti Comintern Pact since this was between Japan/Germany there's less amnesia about it
German Romanian Economical Treaty March 1939
German Ultimatum to Lithuania in March 1939 seems a bit unfair to characterize as a treaty tbh
"Pact of Steel" with Italy 1939 Now THIS is actually a military alliance pact, which is what people keep characterizing molotov-ribbentrop as
Danish-German non aggression pact May 1939 this one isn't wikipedia
Germany Estonia N-A-Pact June 7th 1939
German-Latvian N-A-Pact June 7th 1939
Also it's worth noting that even though the USA never signed a non aggression pact with nazi germany, american capitalists were quite fond of funding nazis, doing trade with nazis, and even hosting nazi party rallies in the United States (such as one in madison square garden in 1939). And there was even a fascist attempt at a coup against FDR, that was thwarted by smedley butler being a whistleblower.
What makes people freak out about molotov ribbentrop is the agreement to partition states. the reason for this is because the USSR needed time to deconstruct factories and move them east before the luftwaffe could bomb them. The USSR made a calculated risk that by dividing poland they could move the future war front far west of where it would otherwise be if they refused a non aggression pact and just got invaded right away, and at the same time, move their war industry far east of the war front. Of course by making this calculated risk they gave an easy propaganda victory to all bourgeois nations who experience collective amnesia about every other non aggression pact, as well as their categorical refusal to enter into collective security against fascism with the "bolshevik menace" in the 1930s. It is somewhat similar to how USSR tried to join NATO in the 50s and was refused. The bourgeois nations never wanted collective security or peace with the USSR, even when it was on the table. In particular the USSR only invaded finland because it was the most convenient route to invade the USSR, and the Finnish (a future axis power) wouldn't sell them the land that the nazis eventually used to invade.

Yes but you still used the same computer and configuration to go to the reddit website to sign up, right?

Ah, thanks for clarifying, if you can't tell I'm not particularly tech savvy

Many of the people here were banned from reddit for being unbearable and they learned nothing
I told a Nazi spouting hate to drink bleach. what did I learn?
Reddit is full of Nazi supporting scum.
edit: I also got banned from imgur for telling a person promoting the euthanasia of disabled people was better than allowing them to "dirty the pool". I also told them to drink bleach.
Imagine my surprise when a US president tells people the same thing and gets reelected!

People who want to cleanse this nation with fire and violence, and who advocate against any form of participation in politics.

Happy cake day!
