Sometimes to block an obnoxious user I have to go to old reddit to see the option.
redreader still works without login. libreddit domain also works, just slow as hell for media.
I'm sick of reddit. I've been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don't get banned though
I criticized ICE, and about 12 hours later I was met with a "Blocked by network security" page. The only option was to appeal to support, who wanted an explanation. I could still access my user settings so I went straight to the account deletion option.
I got banned for saying something about Musk during the height of the DOGE circus. I don't know what I said exactly because they delete the comment and then ban you.
I think I said I'd like to see him test his rocket and go to Mars. Which, I guess implies,.. something.
Same. I said "fuck republicans" and got 'permanently suspended'... which is just the dumbest thing in itself
Meanwhile in r/hornymoderators:
"Fuck Republicans! Come enjoy of my disaster of a human body, conservative ladies! Runners up will be invited to my pool of hand stuff volunteering until my double carpal tunnel surgery someday.
That’s one ode the reasons why I switched to lemmy
Which is why I’m reading this here and not on Reddit
https://redlib.catsarch.com/ <- this works for me but, like most comments are saying, reddit became a stinkhole of bots, agendas and stealth advertising. it kinda makes me sick to go there nowadays.
They are also forcing it for regular reddit. I get a pop up and when closed you can't scroll. There is even a thread about what to put in ublock to work around it.
Mostly just lurk Reddit, so this sucks major nads.
Reddit thinks they're an exclusivity club nowadays. Love that mentality for them, just a platform full of bots, misinformation purposed for political polarization.
They wouldn't even let me delete my account last week, "errors occured" so I just uninstalled. Good riddance.
Fuck ‘em. We’re here anyway
I'm on both because the activity there is just unbeatable for niche topics, but I have been successful at bringing at least 1 or 2 other redditors over here and will continue to preach there!
Same, I still lurk in some subreddits because there isn’t a spot here for them yet. Niche hobby subreddits are Reddit's strong spot.
Logging into old.reddit.com via tor browser works intermittently. As far as I can tell the reddit onion site is entirely broken.
Reddit has gotten really lame, there's always been saddos who troll through entire post history's when they can't win an argument.
Lately they've changed stratagies to calling people underage instead hoping mods delete accounts or something I guess. It just comes across as absolutely pathetic to me.
But yeah Reddit is definitely breaking old.reddit on purpose and will probably be just mostly bots soon .
I have a theory that only shitstains complain about "people digging through post history". Let's put it to the test:
Being from the UK I actually support Nuking them if they try it again, the Falklands are all British Citizens and they voted on it fairly, let them revote if they like.
Well, there you have it. No wonder you don't want people looking at your public post history. You're in favor of using nuclear weapons against Argentina for a land dispute. Lmao. Theory confirmed.

While I’ve been on Lemmy for a while, I haven’t really seen any hobby - centric or geek centric areas.
I’ll miss the movie threads in particular, but there were a ton of active crafts, art & ttrpg threads to get inspiration from. Any suggestions?
Idk about movies yet cause I'm new here as well but there's quite a great community for books here. I've written two posts and one of them almost got 100 comments.
I run a few small communities on the fediverse, and its tough trying to start one up. Granted I try to keep mine canadian focused, but its an uphill battle either way. I was never one to volunteer or be an admin of a community, but I wanted to get the ball rolling somehow. Very disheartening to realize I'm the only one posting in the community, esp because I'm just a lurker at heart.
