I went to Reddit today...
And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco. … And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)
Popping my Lemmy cherry!
That ama is what convinced me that reddit is dead, and in like 3 minutes took me from being sad about it to enthusiastically watching it die.
Welcome! I just came over yesterday because I submitted a report, WHICH WAS ACCEPTED AND ACTIONED BY REDDIT, then got a week ban for abusing the report feature.
I guess they don't want us tying up resources as they work overtime to alienate the users that make Reddit worth a shit. 🤷
I just got banned from subs if my subs for spanking their mod queue by accident... I edited all my visible comments to 4 archive.org links about the API changes. It triggered AutoModerator a zillion times.
I was going to let those comments sit for a bit before deleting my account.
That's not really related to what you're saying, but I guess I just wanted to share it with someone!
That sucks.
I had already nuked my 15 year heckload of karma "main" because I ran afoul of a super mod with some fairly innocuous opinion. Got banned from one sub, confused I modmail to ask what's wrong and how I can fix it, get muted and immediately banned from upwards of 10 other subs. 🤣
Gave em a piece of my mind and killed it, because I'll be damned if I let some butthurt waffle bully me like the internet is some sorta "real world."
I wasn't planning on going back to Reddit, so I don't really mind.
I feel badly that I wasted mods' time, actually. Part of the reason I edited my comments with a protest was to support mods.
