The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that…not so much.
Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won’t be going offline in 2 weeks.
I’m a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I’m decent, you see?
i avoided those instances, after i heard how bad they were accidentally engaging in thier posts, they rubbed the wrong way so i blocked them before could recieve a ban from them.
I want this read at my funeral
I’ll try to stop by?
To be fair @ptz@dubvee.org
You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.
Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡
Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.
Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.
You abandoning lemmy completely or just the instance? If the former, will you be going back to reddit or avoiding this format completely?
Lemmy and the fediverse entirely. I guess you could also say social media entirely as this was my last vestige of it.
Planning to re-join the real world and put my energy into actual positive things.
That’s always admirable. Social media can be very toxic. hopefully you’ll be able to stay away for good, but so much is run via social media atm that it’s hard to completely disconnect.
Itll be sad to see you go, sir

Yea, reddit api thing burned that bridge, been happy ever since.
Same, I always used third party clients since they create awful stuff. When the clients stopped working, I stopped going and started using lemmy.
Fediverse users who are here because uhh privacy
I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.
i was banned before all that drama, i posted/reported on someone on r/technology and recieved a temp ban for "reporting too much, or reporting that isnt “approved nebulously”
Tbqf not missing much, place is a cesspit
I dont care. If you got banned from reddit youre doing the world a great service.
I’m really sorry to hear you burnt out and of your experience. Thanks for all you have done for threadiverse and tesseract. Hope you get a peace of mind after 31st.
Many of the people here were banned from reddit for being unbearable and they learned nothing
I came here because I was permabanned from all os Reddit because I wrote an elevator lie about. A fictitious lie about a cheese man roaming the campus late at night
Edit:I’m sorry I can’t make this coherent I’m knocked badly
Are you sure it was a lie ?
99% is still dumb as rocks though

What is the 3rd option here?
Depends on what they were banned for.
Aw shoot, we’re the 2b2t of forums?
