Airing of Grievances Part I: We are not the same.

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.
Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won't be going offline in 2 weeks.
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 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.

Yea, reddit api thing burned that bridge, been happy ever since.
Same, I always used third party clients since they create awful stuff. When the clients stopped working, I stopped going and started using lemmy.

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.

I like it here for the most part but I don’t like the reddit tendencies. Stuff we solved many years ago there. Why is it not great anymore?

I keep getting banned for the dumbest shit these days. God forbid you insult Nancy pelosi for some reason. I got banned for jokingly saying "pour beans in his mouth" as petty revenge for someone farting in a CPAP. It's is getting dumbed down so bad over there
I’ve been banned on reddit for nothing so many times lol. People were saying something about a white person, and I made a very innocuous joke like “white people are the worst!” and I kid you not, some worthless reddit brained dumbfuck called me racist and told me to GTFO. I was perma banned. Stuff like that a million times over.

Little of column A, little of column B.

not on reddit though, much harder to bypass since they upped thier bannings and detection methods this year and recently too. the ones that are bypassing on reddit usually are using hundreds of account at once and earning some money from doing it. additionally they also are using AI to indiscirminately ban people.

i was banned before all that drama, i posted/reported on someone on r/technology and recieved a temp ban for "reporting too much, or reporting that isnt "approved nebulously"

Lemmy and the fediverse entirely. I guess you could also say social media entirely as this was my last vestige of it.
Planning to re-join the real world and put my energy into actual positive things.
Even tho I get it, this sucks. You were one of the good ones, friend.

Its still super easy just search the web how to. Use a new browser window with new email on mobile network connection - its literally impossible to reliably fingerprint this.
