We are not the same.

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.
If Reddit ever disclosed how many "users" were bots, I'm quite confident it would be >80%. 95%+ of everything we see on the front page. Now consider who is running those bots, and why. What kind of opinions are they trying to shape?
-
So you don't understand the point of federation then? It's not to have one big Reddit clone full of Reddit bullshit and Reddit corruption. It was to have countless little homes combined together to make a whole, but what we have at the moment is Reddit bullshit but worse.
Its so funny that you dont even deny being an asshole but still try to explain your weak excuse to people who outed you as the asshole you are.

Im here because I'm fucking stubborn.
I hate the Reddit app, give me back RIF and I'll abandon this place in a heartbeat. Give me a paid Reddit option to fuck the adds off and Ill take it. Ill pay $20 a month not to have to listen to you neckbeards to try and make literally every conversation about capitalism, linux or Trump.
Bunch of one note ass motherfuckers, you think I dont know the world sucks? I want some escapism for fuck sake.

You may want to try subscribing to non-political communities, and then browsing by subscribe. For example, here's a list of communities I subscribe to for when I don't want to read about politics:

Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they're not the focus.

Lemmy is not, and never has been private. It's highly public
Its private in that it doesn't collect data about you, besides what you provide yourself.
-
I almost exclusively browse /all, but I'm up to 897 blocked communities (sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and...).
It takes some doing, but you can whittle /all down to something personalized and enjoyable to browse.
You could block lemmynsfw entirely if you want.
-
The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.
-
The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
The bans are mostly meaningless these days tho. Its so easy to make a new account and bypass detections.
-
They said all that about a bunch of alternative media that was banned from all money processing. Oh, you can't use the banks. Why don't you just make your own? While I don't agree with most of the things those kind of people said, I also do not agree with completely banning their speech. All that does is push them into the shadows and that's how Donald Trump gets elected.
Running a lemmy instance is a lot easier than running a bank though. There may also already be an instance that is close enough for you and you could run a community there.
-
Its so funny that you dont even deny being an asshole but still try to explain your weak excuse to people who outed you as the asshole you are.
I don't have to deny being an asshole, because being an asshole is subjective. I really don't give a shit what online randos think of me.
-
Oh look, it’s the yellow/green person from the meme!
I'm the guy that left reddit 10 years ago during the Elen Pao thing and never returned, moving from free speech platform to free speech platform. Putting up with literal nazis whom I did not in any way agree with because they were censored and banned while I was there for ideological reasons.
We are not the same.
