I don’t know if this is the right community, but I suppose it’s close enough.

You can’t even make posts like this on Reddit anymore, Reddit has become such a hog on the internet traffic it’s ridiculous. It wouldn’t be a problem if Reddit didn’t take such precious internet space.

They censor people, regular people who aren’t even doing anything too controversial. Reddit’s automated filters constantly remove people’s posts, only conformist content is allowed there, and so nothing of value remains. Just generic conformist post after another generic conformist post.

Why is this platform still popular is honestly just beyond me at this point. No really, can someone please, please explain to me why do people keep using this broken website anymore?

That'sWhyI'mHere.ObiWan

I'd say the network effect is a big part. A lot of the established communities are there, so people stay there.

I do my best to stay off there, though. One thing that helped me drastically cut down on Reddit interactions is donating an Euro to PieFed for every comment I make on Reddit. (besides, either it works, or I help keep the fediverse running and improving. It's a win-win :P)

Love this idea

Ok but the most effective way to cure ourselves from reddit is to get so permabanned that every whisper of our likeness gets rejected from participating over there.

Yep that's exactly what happened to me. I'm still really fucking bitter about it. I didn't even do anything bad. Just absent-mindedly posting from different accounts to a sub I had been banned from. Didn't even think about it honestly and boom Perma band

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Me too. I've seen many people with the same story. They set AI to do it and AI is bad at it.

That’s a genius idea, I love it
