Would you guys chat with me?
I mean we are all kinda hangin out here. I know im on and off so replies will be sporadic but just chat around in your post. I mean people make whats up posts and stuff. honestly I often don’t answer because I feel alls I can say is stuff sucks.
Same here, but that depends if we have some common interests.
I like reading, most non-fiction, cartoons, listening science communicator podcasts, doing research on social issues, or anything that I find interesting. I like to send ppl stuff, like an amv or an adventure time meme.
Meh… fuck reddit… they did you a favor.
Hey comrade, did you notice the daily threads the mod posts? That’s a good place for easy chatting. Here is today’s post: https://crazypeople.online/post/22134494
I’ve been permbanned from Reddit for about 2 years on the account I had since 2012, then they got me again about a year later on an alt. For literally the mildest takes in opposition to Nazis. It is a badge of honor to me.
You are among friends. :)
Reddit has been on the decline, I got shadowbanned and I have no idea why.
And there is no ticketing system or anything.
I was afraid to say anything remotely controversial. I was careful.
But sadly lemmy is not the same.
The UI makes it hard to .adjust, and lack of.algrothim makes it hard for me to find communities and when I find them it si just a handful of people and mostly inactive.
I hope lemmy gain more users
Reddit is more for bots than humans nowadays. They won’t do shit about the literal billions of spam/scam/propaganda bots on their platform (and why would they? The inflated numbers look great for investors), but they will ban a human at the drop of a hat. They’re going to realize eventually that bots don’t contribute to revenue.
And yeah, Lemmy is a lot less populated and a bit slower when it comes to feeds. Probably my biggest gripe is the lack of active and diverse/niche communities. My hope is that when reddit eventually kills old.reddit, we’ll get another influx of folks that might stick around.
However, it has done me a favor, I don’t check my phone as often as I used to, and my mental health is better for it I think.
Edit: if you’ve ever used third party apps for reddit, the Voyager app for Lemmy is very close to the UI that Apollo had. I find it pretty easy to use.
Perm Banned as well. The only thing that ticks me off is that I no longer have access to the larger minecraft community as it’s pretty much exclusively reddit based. Hermitcraft even more so.
sure
Could I join? I am both on matrix and discord.
Maybe share some of your interests and the things you like to talk about?
What topic?
Do you like non-fiction books, mostly on social issues as it intersects with science and medicine, but also middle eastern politics (hello from the deserts), cartoons, subjects like geography, psychology, psychraist or collaborations on citizen research.
