“Come make friends on Reddit”
les autres
I prefer “lesbian with autism” merci beaucoup
Now hear me out: we all put together some Money to Buy ads for lemmy lmao
I’m staying with my boyfriend because of his dog. Am I horrible?
Is there a Parisian who doesn’t do rock climbing, Pilates, or ceramics?
I’m going to the Maldives but I’m composting, does that make up for it?
Just between you and me, who’s ever bought fruit on the metro?
So, what do we do with the people on the wrong side of the escalator?
Has anyone ever found the exit at Chatelet, or is that a myth?
That place is a doomer and mental illness circus.
Are we any better though?
It’s been a backslide over there since the election.
Yeah, given how left leaning and US centric the place is, I can see how they’d lose their shit.
Much, much better. Just look at r/popular and tell me you don’t feel negative.
Oof.
Join, just so they can ban you for bullshit.
My favorite reddit ban was when I was making a very obvious joke about how white people suck or something, and some worthless dumbfuck called me racist and I got an immediate permanent ban.
join, just so they can ban you for calling a Nazi a Nazi.
Reddit is the most new-user-unfriendly site I have ever been to. You’ve got to farm an unknown amount of karma before you can post or comment in subreddits. There’s a reason I’m at Lemmy now. Fuck Reddit. (Also, 4chan is a toilet. The occasional nuggets of good stuff aren’t worth trawling through pages of shitposts for.)
reddit recently became hostile to new users, and inactive users(users that suddenly decide to use thier old accounts to comment) they just shadowban most of them now. the only people ive seen that succesful are the ones that are using other methods(not vpn) to hide thier device, fingerprinting, IP adress etc. even this is temporary, since reddit is also catching up to the other methods.
That’s funny cause all but one of my alts was banned, which so happened to me the only account I didn’t use the same email address for. So I figured that email is the only tracking method they use. I’ve had no issue making new accounts under different address.
were using the same IP address, my last account is shadowbanned, after the great purge where they targetalled peoples multiple accounts.
Isn’t 4chan dead and gone?
you have summoned me?
It’s worse than ever. Once you work your way up to being able to say anything - BAN! It’s more of an echo chamber than ever before.
They don’t even let you see what you were banned for. Links to a comment that doesn’t exist within your ban notification
AI bans dont tell you that your what you were banned for, its always the generic “you have violated mutliple violations, on your ACCOUNTS” message. they also use AI moderation to shadowban people too, which i think is much more severe than the sitewide banning. they originally shadowban people for using ban evasion accounts, but now they are abusing to ban anyone indiscirminately(aside from a selected group of users).
i think reddit also gatekeep new users, and inactive users.
The good gteen texts always end up on other platforms anyway.
And get reposted for decades to come
Moved here and haven’t looked back.
I do keep a Reddit account that is strictly used for informational/support type stuff (i.e. “help me figure out what type of widget I should buy for this task”). I avoid anything controversial on that account.
The fucking acronyms and in-jokes don’t help, either.
Silly Reddit, bots aren’t going to sign up because of an ad
Rule of thumb: the more something is advertised, the more shit it is for one reason or another, and you’ll do well to avoid it altogether. When I’m advising people on contractors, my number 1 rule is: if they’re on TV, they’re criminals, I promise you.
I help friends and family with minor plumbing repairs and they will tell me:
oh I had “x” company come and they did that
" well it’s all wrong "
They charged me a lot of money for that!
" why on earth would you have called them"
Because I saw their advertisement on TV. I thought they were good
" nah they’re crooks"
Mullvad is good though
The only time I’ve seen Mullvad get promoted is by word of mouth.
Times Square had massive Mullvad ads last time I was there.
Nah I see mullvad billboards around me a lot
I don’t use it for discussion, but for some information/support it is helpful to have a larger community to discuss with. I stay the fuck away from anything that has a hint of controversy though.
Because I like pit bulls and deisel VW’s. Nobody here likes them enough to post every day …or even once a month …or even once every 6 months…maybe once a year
But I’m confident they will one day ! Viva la Pit Bulls !!! Viva La Lemmy!!!
Or woodworking. Or drones. Or… basically any sport, including basket and soccer/football. Or Maine coons. Or tiny houses. Or off-grid cabins. Or…
Ha yeah all the niche stuff isn’t here yet but with reddit really fucking shit up on the reg its going to get better.
Lemmy is just cooler. When those communities get going they will be better over here.
Unfortunately, most are moving to Discord :(
Well discord doesn’t ban you for jokes about killing pedos and most probably haven’t heard of lemmy to know of any other option
discord allows exclusive to niche users thats why. some influencers who used reddit in the past couldnt handle the criticism, so they fled to facebook or discord which has more control of comments criticising them.
Well then they are idiots and I wish them the best
I hate that still some troubleshooting that I need to do is much easier when I look for answers through Reddit…
they haven’t yet banned all the anti genocide people.
Given the general demographics of Reddit, it would just be a bunch of bots left if they did this.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
The guy that used to mod /r/jailbait? Yup. That guy.
the alien called spez.
It seems we are ruled by child rapists so it makes sense executives are into it too.
Wow, I’ve never seen them actually pull ads for membership. Site must be struggling for real users. Bot takeover isn’t working out, shouldn’t have banned the top users for petty bullshit.
The archive of past posts and problem solving is the greatest value of the site.
raises hand
Literally in the top 1% of karma users in 2023. Banned in 2024 for…
checks notes
…posting a comment that my bike was stolen when I was 7.
Reddit claims the ban was done by a human. However I just cannot see a human looking at the post I got banned for, and saying “This guy deserves to get banned”.
My best theory, based on the timeline, is that they offered me a presale enter IPO offering before it went public. At the time I was on cancer treatment, and had $0 income, with my two sisters and mom paying for my apartment.
I had no ability to buy an IPO.
3 days after it went public, I still didn’t own stock, and was banned. Because I said my bike was stolen 30+ years earlier.
sucks about the bike mang
I got banned during women’s March just for cheering. Lemmy is a perfect replacement.
I hope you’re cancer free now.
^^I ^^also ^^hope ^^you ^^get ^^your ^^bike ^^back.
I got banned for saying we should have hanged every part of the Confederate leadership for treason.
I too got banned for voicing non pc opinions.
They’ve done it before in the USA. My guess is that they want to push their non-English offerings, which is something they’ve only focused on recently.
Makes me wonder what the French equivalent of “glue pizza” will be.
I don’t know about the rest of the images, but the last one is definitely photoshopped. Check out the reflection on the floor.
Yeah I hate reddit as much as the next guy, but come on.
I would say all of them are photoshopped.
Also in the third image you can see in the reflection there’s a word that is not mirrored.
The second picture on the house seems suspicious as well.
By exception, advertising is forbidden at the following locations:
On the walls of buildings except when these walls are blind or have at least one opening with a unit area of less than 0,50 m²
Within 100 meters and in the field of visibility of buildings with an aesthetic, historic or picturesque character

Who wouldn’t want to talk to bots and train “AI”?
they banned and shadowbanned so many people, they nu-users to compesate for the loss of engagement.
Comme c’est excitant!
jus engage bro, just give us more data bro, just doomscroll all day, comment all the post bro, just engage bro, we need to keep the users coming bro, so we strike a better deal with google bro
“Make an account”….”get banned before you can even verify”
