So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.
I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)
You and me both! I left and never went back and it’s been one of the best decisions I ever made.
How did you replace the crack that’s niche communities?
You don’t replace them. You just deal with the lack of them. As well as the lack of super interesting content and niche contributors (i.e.: “Geologist here!” and so on).
I’d like to think that one day the Fediverse attains that level of adoption but it seems the only “free” protocols that attain that is podcasts. But that was created like 20 years ago and a large portion of so-called podcasts (that are more like just video roundtables or interviews) aren’t even distributed at all anymore. So as a society we are moving in the opposite direction.
Sigh
Yeah dude. We live in a world where very few people care at all about personal freedoms or getting fucked. That’s just the way it is.
Yeah fam u.u i feel ya…
Hard times–and it’s not even just reddit.
The things we once took for granted are now associated with new hardship because profit for Party A requires suffering for Party B.
Every new loss I encounter, I no longer have the energy to get upset. I just resign myself. “Oh well. That figures. Just gotta accept it and adjust.”
It’s weird how I’m less emotionally volatile and vulnerable than I had ever been in prior stages of my life despite the world having become distinctly worse since then. But … getting upset takes energy; i have no energy to spare.
