I put “Reddit employee” in quotation marks because they’re giving the vibe that they’re praising that website so much.
Framing them as an employee is bad faith. And misleading.
what a poopy dumdum
Man, I could go for some poppadoms right about now
I’ve found lemmy to be one of the more civil places to go online anymore. I don’t know what this guy is bitching about.
He probably did join a community/instance that are more “on the mean side”. I just hope Lemmy being one of the more civil social media out there lasts long lol.
Photons. If it gets popular enough the established platforms will sabotage it. Just enjoy it while you can.
It’s the internet. Some people are helpful and some people are dicks. It’s just the way it is.
Clearly not for this guy, thinks that Lemmy is the only one out there that is toxic in their opinion 😂
I dunno how this is real. I keep getting shadowbanned on Reddit (when I literally just post technical/fandom comments in 2 niche subs), and I think it’s whenever I link Lemmy.
Man that is strange indeed, kinda like they have a hidden agenda against Lemmy it seems.
Yeah, I mean someone inside Reddit is watching and aware of Lemmy. Like how someone inside Twitter is paid to break Nitter to some extent.
Lol I dunno if you’re messing with me at this point if this legit happens like what you say about twitter or not but either way I agree with your statement.
Oh, some Twitter API/website changes were clearly designed to bungle rehosters like Nitter, like a cat and mouse game, hence (for a while, last I checked) the Nitter repo shut down and the closed source modifications worked.
I dunno about Reddit banning Lemmy specifically, there’s no smoking gun there, but it sure feels like it to me.
Yeah I can imagine Reddit banning and/or controlling outside communities if they feel like they’re “threatened” I know that’s not the right word but that’s the first thing that came to mind if that makes sense 😅
As usual reddit is a day late and a dollar short.
Lmao I know right?
It’s really dependent on your instance as well. Lemmy is not homogenous.
I do imagine the comments listed on a YouTube video about gardening have to be different than those in a video about the Philadelphia Eagles. But that’s just because it’s the city of brotherly love, and those gardeners are fucking vicious.
Meanwhile in a post far far away…
Oh no I’m reading the news too much because I read that as Pedophilia Eagles. Ya’know, the fightin’ Epsteins. Yes, very different comments indeed.
I have a Venn diagram overlap for you
Gotta love when your coach tells the team you are a flower that hasn’t bloomed yet.
You’re like this flower here, you’ll bloom someday and smell much better than you do in this locker room I hope.
He was raked over the coals for these comments at the time, but since then the Eagles have been to two Super Bowls. Considering the dog walking they gave to a dynasty this past SB, I think it’s safe to say they’ve bloomed!
Hehe, homogenous. Sorry for late reply.
Ok, I’m gonna be real with you for a moment. You guys are some of the most wholesome, respectful and emotionally intelligent people I have ever seen online.
Yes, every now and then someone writes something edgy. I am not calling anyone in particular out. I am guilty of this too (as you are about to see in a moment).
But calling users here “12 yr old keyboard warriors” while being on Reddit is probably the dumbest take I have ever witnessed. Which says a lot if you consider we are talking about the website that came up with the CumBox.
In the 5-ish years I was on Reddit I got death threats on a regular basis. I got tagged for the suicide bot multiple times a year. I had some very normal Reddit user send me rape threats followed by animal porn.
And Reddit did nothing.
Meanwhile our admins actually do shit that makes this site better instead of just sucking each other off, crying it’s not the real greedy pig boy they’re orally pleasing.
What I am trying to say is: This is obviously rage bait and I fell for it. Which is soooooooo Reddit and it triggers me that it did so all across the internet.
Fuck you, get fucked you fucking piece of shit!
Just kidding. I love you folks. Cheers.
That suicide bot still being active when it became primarily a tool for harassment is so so stupid.
From what I’ve seen so far during my short time in Lemmy, there doesn’t seem to be any fuss about mods (or lack thereof) being power hungry and that’s good. And the people I’ve interacted with so far seemed to be helpful most of the time, whether I’ve got a gardening related question. You can’t escape hostility anywhere so you just gotta have to eat those sometimes but we move on. I’ve also gotten the “Reddit cares” bot message because I seemed to have commented something about Stardew valley which wasn’t even that bad, but I don’t remember what I said but I know what I said wasn’t bad to incur such a bot sent my way lol. Glad you (and I) found this place and hope to use this for years to come and hopefully no Lemmy gatekeepers tells us we can’t be here 👋🏽
Oh there has been some, but 99% of the time it’s someone clearly either mentally (or literally) 10 years old whining about their esgy trolling/dumbass ignorance being removed … or the tanky admins/mods from .ml banning opinions and news they don’t like.
Well, since it’s grown ass adults make insults and threats.
Can I have some of those infamous rape threats? 👉 👈
No animal porn please.
I think the assessment is correct: if not a reddit agent, they are certainly working to advance that platform’s distrust of Lemmy.
I’m starting to sound like a broken record but it doesn’t make any sense! Don’t the guy know that it’s like that everywhere else (twitter especially), why did they target Lemmy of all things? It sus overall.
He’s a gosh darned poopy head is what he is
Welcome to the online world, kid.
Also, I’m pretty sure lemme skews much older than 12. It’s 40+ year olds calling you names.
The only real problem with lemme is that it’s not big enough to replace most niche communities on larger platforms. If I have a specific question about a hobby, video game, or whatever, I’m not using lemme. I hope to someday.
It’s 40+ year olds calling you names.
That always makes it a bit worse. When I see ignorant comments on other sites, I usually tell myself it might be made by an edgy teenager. Can’t do that on Lemmy. That’s a grown adult praising North Korea…
I mean, North Korea itself is literally run by grown adults.
That’s a grown adult praising North Korea…
And I’m an even growner adult calling that one names!
Seriously though, you can never be 100% sure. And I’m trying not to be ageist - even to myself.
maybe this is why I have lost all faith in humanity recently…

I’m permanently banned from Reddit because I somewhat pointed out a flaw in about Stardew Valley gameplay wise :( sorry for the late reply.
What’s the bet they’re actually just stepping out of an echo chamber for the first time and can’t hack being told their opinions are shit
I mean, depending on which instance they joined they could’ve just as easily stepped into an even smaller echo chamber. Lemmy as a concept isn’t magically free from them.
Lemmy has a ton of echo chambers. It’s a real problem.
Yeah, but the problem isn’t inherent to a platform. It’s inherent to humanity.
Yes, but also no. I could have an account on hexbear and still see things from lots of other places. The beauty of federation is that it’s a lot harder to quash dissent from an administrative level.
Maybe only read Local and was a bad fit for the server. You know, any sane server.
I’d pish if they leapt from reddit to hexbear
You can’t even post a youtube link on there without a socialist bot scolding you for not instead using some janky commie tube alternative.
Aren’t you making the poster’s point for him? You just made a whole new post to call him a “Reddit Employee” because you didn’t believe he had the experience he wrote he had.
I actually find myself having to shed the vitoral of years on reddit over here. Everytime I comment I assume I’ll get some horrible response, but then it’s helpful… Clearly got some trauma from reddit 😞
Overall Lemmy has been a nicer experience than reddit
Same. But I just got a shit ass response for not supporting murder drones invading our schools
Lots of name calling
12 year old keyboard warriors
Somebody misplaced their mirror
OP made a follow up post:
Almost a week here in lemmy and I still don’t know how instances work?
But they haven’t commented here or there even once.
They are commenting in this thread. Either way, what’s your point?
Hello mate, how are you? 👋🏽
