just wait, reddit is 100% going to sunset old.reddit within the next year
- bbplay13 ( @bbplay13@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
I had déjà vu during spez’s AMA stating that old Reddit will always exist. He stated the same thing a few years back with third party apps. I don’t trust anything that slimy fuck says.

some of my best friends are useless idiot communists!
- thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
@fuser I can see one downvote on this comment. It would be so funny if that one person is one of your friends. xD Just joking, but I want believe it!
- fuser ( @fuser@quex.cc ) 5•1 year ago
Friends don’t let friends downvote useless idiot communists!

If someone thinks that Lemmy is “full of useless idiot communists”, they’re probably ignorant, argumentative, and more trouble than they’re worth. If/when they grow up, they’re welcome to join us!
- Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
It’s worse: ignorance is humanity’s curse and argumentativeness has its good signs, but assumptiveness is trash on both moral and epistemic levels. And the user in question is being assumptive, as he’s vomiting certainty over a group of people who he really don’t know.
Another character flaw (yup) that the user is showing is lack of basic reading comprehension. As OP hinted it’s that kind of user who should be left behind.

Let these people be miserable on Reddit. I’m worried if they come here, it’ll become more toxic.
- CandyDumDub ( @LambLeeg@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
Well, Reddit is known to have a toxic community. I mean, when someone tells about Reddit irl then they get the “you’re an idiot” look from strangers. Like, we all know how deeply censored Reddit is. Now it’s dead for a slew of people in favor of Lemmy, ain’t it nice?
- abff08f4813c ( @abff08f4813c@kbin.social ) 14•1 year ago
Seconded!
Though perhaps the redditor should have mentioned kbin instead of lemmy - that would have totally worked.
- Kichae ( @Kichae@kbin.social ) 12•1 year ago
They probably won’t like the communists here, either.
- abff08f4813c ( @abff08f4813c@kbin.social ) 4•1 year ago
I can’t argue with that!
- DarkGamer ( @DarkGamer@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
lol, lemmygrad.ml isn’t a kbin instance.
- abff08f4813c ( @abff08f4813c@kbin.social ) 7•1 year ago
Not the OP redditor but the replying redditor.
They’re not entirely wrong.

@esty To be fair, the suggestion to use these extensions is good. But I prefer Firefox. It was the only way I could use Reddit. kbin and Lemmy are useable by default, even though it has some problems too. And dense people are everywhere, in Reddit, in Lemmy, in kbin, in Twitter. That does not mean everyone is one. Just the chance to hit an idiot is higher on Reddit and Twitter, because idiots would never consider switching from mainstream and shit on others.
And that’s good. Good people switch, idiots stay on Reddit. Best filter ever. :D
- xc2215x ( @xc2215x@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
Well I’m not communist yet I am here. Not everyone on Lemmy is one.
- bbplay13 ( @bbplay13@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
Lemmy/Kbin user here. Hardcore Capitalist and absolutely hate Communism.
- CandyDumDub ( @LambLeeg@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
Yeah, here it totally works. Couldn’t say that on Mastodon. Almost everything is left oriented there.
- CIWS-30 ( @CIWS-30@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
It’s true. It’s why I feel that Mastodon will never replace Twitter. It’s too much of a left wing circlejerk / bubble, and they’re actively hostile to even moderate viewpoints. much less actually conservative ones.
I’m probably in the minority in this, but I believe that even people I don’t agree with should have a platform and be tolerated as long as they’re reasonable and willing to compromise and show respect, as long as they’re not racist nazi nutjobs.
The world isn’t exclusively made up of one set of ideas, and you shouldn’t shut out 75% of all viewpoints just because they don’t agree with yours, imo.

Even a small barrier to entry greatly improves the signal to noise ratio in discussions, so I view the (very) minor challenge of getting into the Fediverse to be a much appreciated feature.
- magnetosphere ( @HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
It’s also why I am a big fan of Beehaw’s signup process, which asks you open-ended questions to answer.
- Narrrz ( @Narrrz@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
I take exception to bring called… a communist
- Thorned_Rose ( @Thorned_Rose@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
What’s wrong with being a communist? EDIT: /s
Sincerely,
A filthy hippy socialist witch.

It doesn’t matter what theme you’ll use.
It doesn’t matter what extension you’ll use.
If that community will behave similarly before and after using said theme and extension, then maybe it’s the community. Great example shown here from the “helper”.
- Thorny_Thicket ( @Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz ) 0•1 year ago
Well they’re not entirely wrong. There sure are plenty of communists here
- Tigbitties ( @Tigbitties@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
Yeah, but are they communist communists or “everything to the left is communist” communist?
