This comment is incorrect as well.

The people that cared left and what's left behind is people that wouldn't leave anyway and the strike only bothers them.

This person is living in a bubble and can't see further than their nose.

I have already sent a GDPR request to Reddit and they refuse to comply.

I asked them to delete everything they have about me, including my account and they told me that I need to login into reddit and ask it from there which:

1. I don't have to since GDPR says that I can even do it verbally and I don't even have to write to a specific email, I can just let any employee of that company that I want this and they should honor it.
2. They straight up don't even have the option to delete your data there, since I requested for the complete erasure of my data as that is also in my rights.

Reddit literally refuses to comply with GDPR rules and tonight after work I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

Fuck Reddit I hope it crashes and burns.

Squabbles

Isn't this developed by one person, isn't open source and forbids NSFW in general? That is never going to go well.

Tildes

No mobile app and no ActivityPub so it's a very specialised. Additionally I don't like the UI at all and I've read this in multiple threads here as well.

Lemmy + Kbin

Both are show the same content as they are federated so it's up to who prefers what really. I prefer Lemmy, but anything is fine.

Yeah. This is kinda gaslighting:

We’ve also seen a rise in anti-China posts that have hit Reddit lately, and along with that comes anti-chinese racism,

No. Anti-china posts are not racist. We all hate Hitler Germany. Does that mean we are racist against Germans?

This sentence is fundamentaly flawed and shouldn't exist in the documentation.

I expect good and insightful conversations to be moved here.

Reddit is about to become like twitter and facebook where it's ad-ridden, toxicity cesspool.

People will leave to keep having the actual forum experience and will eventually move here as it looks like a very good alternative.

These and others are why you’re finding me with you here in the fediverse.

I've been here for a week and it already feels like home!

Reddit has been banning users and/or communities that redirect others to Lemmy.

instead of other servers?

The fact that when people started joining about a week ago or so, lemmy.ml was at the top of the recommendations in join-lemmy, the fact that it had in its description that lemmy.ml is ran by the developers of lemmy and the jerboa app so people assumed this is the correct one and lastly, unfortunately during that time the only alternative instances at the top of the recommendations was lemmygrad and I don't remember the other one that screamed communism so people flocked to other ones.

Yeah. What an horrific threat that was, right?

Fucking reddit and /u/spez, specifically, being spineless.

If I read it correctly Christian(Apollo Dev) made ~$500.000 for this year by having 50.000 people get the $10 subscription. The problem is that now, since on the 6th month of the year he is forced to shut it down, he has to refund these people for the rest of the money(so ~$250.000).

From what I understand though, the problem is that Reddit doesn't want to lose revenue from 3rd party apps avoiding adds, so in this section, from Christian's own recording(which is legal in Canada) he mentions that Apollo is costing $20m/year and that's what Reddit is after.

Apparently they had a falling out or something because there a similar post by the tankie including screenshots and proof that the dude that posted the above is lying.

I don't wanna start my experience by listening to someone else to be honest so I will decide for myself what is better for me.

And up until now lemmy has had a better experience for me than kbin social. Additionally I think kbin isn't open to signups anymore from what people are saying.

I have been using lemmy for more than a week now and have also talked with the dev/admin both regarding communities and on GitHub for a pull request I did. The experience was good and for now I will be staying here.

I also don't like the look of kbin and the ux for now.

I have an account in mastodon, kbin, tildes, raddle and lemmy and out of all, lemmy seemed to work the best for me, for now.

I really hope this isn’t the case here.

Wait. You really hope an entire collection of instances and, furthermore, the entire collection of communities within each instance, will have the same exact opinion, of -at the moment- being pro-Nintendo.

You really must be joking right?

There is absolutely 0 chance you will find one opinion spread among an entire community, let alone here in the Fediverse where it's multiple communities.

Each person has their own opinion and/or agenda and that's the best part. I really hope this side of the entire continues to not be able to be labeled a singular thing since that is immoral and outright incorrect, on all fronts.

So to answer your question: Who knows? To each(user) their own.

It was in the news a while ago.

Yeah, even some documentation sections look like manifestos but you can't disagree to be honest.

Reddit and the top media brought it on themselves.

mainstream media will discover Lemmy exists.

Mainstream media will 100% catch up more by the reveal of Meta's Twitter alternative that implements the ActivityPub protocol.

My girlfriend has ~800 hours in Lost Ark and ~500 hours in Guild Wars 2.

She always nags me about not finding her new games. I am glad we are compatible in more than one thing.

I had this discussion in here before and I think it's for the better that the majority doesn't leave reddit, for both sides.

The vast majority of redditors are lurkers. It's a small minority that actually care enough to post the content and engange in conversations. Coincidentally, this same minority is the only one that cares enough to leave so I am expecting the most engaging people to migrate to other platforms like this one right here and I expect that Reddit is going to be left with lurkers and no one to drive the communities forward.

Granted, they will still be able to sell ads to lurkers but who cares? That's not why most of us were in Reddit.

I was there to get more news and educate myself. If that's gone, I'm gone. I'm happy to do this here, as well.

Yeah I'm out for good.

I have requested the moderation of one familiar community of mine here and intent on putting in the effort here.

I have also contributed to the lemmy github in the form of pull requests.

If reddit doesn't care about the users I won't. I will care for something that offers something back to me and the community.

what the fuck happened to the internet.

Capitalism got to it. Pretty simple I would say.

We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.

There's been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin and/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.

Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won't go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.

Reddit as we knew it, already died.
