Damn, I actually didn’t expect a story like that especially from how old your account was at that point.

Now I’m even more mad about Reddit heaaring those stories and I’m saying time and time again that Reddit has an AWFUL moderating system almost like it’s not there at all.

Don’t let those fake points though define you man, I also was making content SFW and NSFW, I was thinking alright if I’m in the r/presidents subreddit what is something engaging I can post, I used to think that a lot of karma was everything but eh in the end who cares.

I don’t disagree at all, and that’s the only thing I miss about Reddit, when I had an established profile and could just ask in whatever subreddit I want, emphasis on the “established profile” while Lemmy I started day 1 and I could instantly participate in wherever I wanted.

And sure Lemmy has like 40-50k monthly visitors, Imagine if it was 500k or 1M the good thing to give you hope, I didn’t know what Lemmy was about a month ago, and now I do

Wow dude so harsh

irony

I keep repeating the story of how I got banned on Reddit but I’ll keep doing so cause it’s funny, basically I uploaded an NSFW meme with nudity IN a NSFW meme community that allowed nudity, I don’t know what the bots saw maybe because the image was more in low res anyways basically the second I uploaded the meme it said “Your Post has been removed by Reddit’s filters” and I thought okay, not the first time. I refresh and got a permanent ban and I thought…

Why?

Jokes aside at least the good thing about reddit is that there were a lot of people that I became friends with and liked talking to on AskRedditAfterDark for example. Men and Women alike, so yeah women exist, shocker more news at 10

Liar my previous meme got like 600 upvotes where are you all coming from.

Very well said, I’m glad y’all upvoted and appreciated my review, and yeah it’s one of those could have been’s, the disappointment also came from the fact that I didn’t really enjoy Fallout 4’s quest and dialogue structure that I thought Cyberpunk would have so much more, and while it does in a sense it’s just background stuff.

“Microsoft Says Copilot” is like a Two Sentence horror story for me now.

I would say that the hype got the better of me, but back then even though I wasn’t a fan of CD Project RED I knew that they were close to Rockstar in levels of quality, however I always had a bad feeling with the delays and how much they felt they needed to show from the game, I remember they were doing a LOT of livestreams back then.

Eitherway I enjoyed my stay too, It’s just the “What could have been” kills me on the inside.

There’s always going to be people sick of Reddit’s rules as myself but you are right, let’s say Half Life 3 gets announced tomorrow out of the blue, first place I would go is Reddit to see the reactions, I think Lemmy competing on that department doesn’t make sense but I feel like Reddit needs some competition, I heard that the co-founder was building a Reddit competitor though I have no idea how that went.

This site already does something better than reddit, I love how I can just write comments thread after thread making posts without having to worry if it gets removed somehow. I love just the simplicity of posting here.

I wouldn’t be against it since r/games is used for mainly game announcements and r/gaming is a facebook tier cesspool. I wouldn’t mind a community like that.

I’m of the opinion that as large as this community gets (or any community) it’s bound to have many characters.

I guess I don’t mind that much because I think A) You won’t ever have a large site where everyone 100% agrees with you all the way, unless you are on a specific political community and even then I’ve seen many infights and civil wars over small issues.

B) I’ve dealt with many of them in worse sites (Yes even 4chan) that I don’t mind them anymore, as long as they contribute in their own communities and don’t cause harm for the website then they can chirp on their communities as much as they want, I was the kind of guy that enjoyed Political Compass memes on reddit even though it got ruined by Right-Wingers now, I was on that subreddit long before though and as soon as literal Nazis joined the subreddit got worse.

C) We should absolutely have rules to ban people that post innapropriate, illegal stuff but I feel like this website should be easier than Reddit on the moderating stuff, I’m 100% on banning Nazis and fascists if they make the site worse for everyone else, though I happened to have some interesting conversations with some Conservatives. Reddit on a whole has an awful moderating system that ironically enough doesn’t ever get checked by human beings and I don’t want to see the same here, I’ve heard people that got banned because they had the mental health crisis bot even though they didn’t do anything, I’ve heard people got banned for similar ways that I did for posting a meme lol.

Take of this what you will.

I’m enjoying my time so far, I’m waiting my 100 day ban pass I guess from Reddit (I’m like almost there) and see what I do, I’ll probably keep using this site since it allows me to be more free than reddit.

In general, I would also like to see this site adopting more niche subreddits, I know I can probably make a lot of those but I don’t have a lot of time to moderate stuff.

Definitely, the good thing about Reddit is that it had a good player as well because I’m a guy who spent a lot of time making content, also you can upload videos no matter the size (I think) which is cool.

I’m new but also enjoying my time, I like how non judging this site is because on Reddit I’d get messages like “Uhhh OP has an interesting history” basically trolls and stuff, but It’s whatever, I don’t mind.

I don’t disagree, however my main issue with reddit was it’s awful system at triggering bots and it’s moderation system. I think we SHOULD have moderation always to keep guys like that away and innapropriate stuff, otherwise you’ll have another 4chan.

However I think Reddit is just too power hungry with bans for no reason as well, I’ve heard people here got banned from Reddit for “Violence against ICE” it’s ridiculous.

Overall, I’d like this website to be more free.

Definitely I know, I’m just working with Adobe maybe to my own detriment haha.

I’ve also not followed anything on the gaming side, I heard it’s way better than what it once was but still with windows I guess, I know I can just run anything I want and work with.

I also kind of wish Windows wasn’t hell bent on making poor decisions, I don’t know how they didn’t start charging us with every version of Windows, I still got my Windows 8.1 key which I used until now, so that’s the only “okay” thing about them.

I guess, I won’t do the classic “haha you have to run console to install an app” meme because I know there are distros that cater to Windows users like myself, the problem I find is that most software I’d want to use wouldn’t be supported like video editing and stuff I care about, I’m glad to see Linux rise because only then Microsoft will learn, but also there’s not a BIG issue that’s keeping me away from using Windows for now.

It might change who knows.

Except of some bananas, I actually don’t eat many fruits or not at all, however I eat a lot of vegetables.

The more I hear people talking about AI, the more I believe people don’t know what they are talking about, mostly
