A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.
There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.
It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

MODERATORS
Welcome!
There are rules here, but you can say fuck and also post images in the comments, which is kind of neat:
You can't post images in the comments on Reddit?
I think you can but only on the new UI. If you're anything like me, no feature in the world could make me use that dumpster fire of an UI.
you can post links to images, but you can't post actual images AFAIK.
I've definitely posted images in comments on Reddit.
Came here after the moderation tool censoring of 'eat the rich' and 'Luigi'. That's some billionaire protective bs.
Reddit Refugee here. Got my last “permanent” ban from that place. No idea why, don’t care. Greener pastures, I hope.
Keep in mind, a couple of instances including lemmy.world have removed what they consider calls to violence when it comes to Luigi. So general support will be fine, but if you ever end up crossing a line, remember that there are plenty of other instances which allow you to say: Brian Thompson had it coming, kill the billionaires, hang Musk in the town square, and the only thing wrong with doing a Luigi is that random acts of terror against the owner class just aren't sustainable (see Propaganda of the Deed assassinations in the late 1800s/1900s), you need an organized movement to support this kind of action.
At this point I consider .world to be Reddit-lite
Came here from Reddit.
There's dozens of us!
This supply closet is getting rather crowded!
Welcome!
We should advertise lemmy more often on reddit. Lemmy and mastodon are the mother of all social media and we should all switch to it. Ditch the billionaires owned profit driven social media!
Reddit has loved that asshole forever. We forget that back in 2016 Reddit allowed a huge subreddit full of upvoting bots and trolls to post the most atrocious lies and slander and bullshit (/r/the_d**ald) on the entire site and it got so bad that it was the ONLY SUBREDDIT ON THE FIRST PAGE OF /r/all FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.
They pulled back when they saw their profits declining and the massive backlash going on but now that we're in full fascism mode, reddit is going all out again.
Fuck that place.
I came here when all the API drama happened, and I didn't even use third party apps, I just decided that I didn't want to help make that greedy little pig boy any money. Even still, I'm actually shocked that they've cracked down this hard. It's hard to take serious, because it seems like they would destroy their userbase with this, but they're doing it.
I came when Apollo died. Found Voyager and stayed.
I also came here when all the API drama happened. I also checked out Sqabblr, which had a different name at first. There wasn’t much here and I was confused by the fediverse. I went on Facebook and that was a hot mess of garbage.
I went back to Reddit recently and it’s noticeably worse - probably a combination of chasing away great mods and our world just being what it is makes for people being awful at each other rather than at problems.
I’ve just come back here this weekend and there seems to be more resources to help me understand the nature of the fediverse. Ideally I won’t be back to Reddit.
Sorry to ramble, hope you have a great week!

I finally made the jump. Hi all.
Hi blorps!
Yoo!!
All the commenters sitting in the circle replying in a monotonous voice: Hi Blorps!
Don't forget to offer them a can of beans on their way in!
Their can of beans, complimentary jeans, and guide on how to not poop for three days are in the mail.
I use Arch, btw
Hey, please stick around. Do not let the small number of subscribers demoralize you. The communities are small but active.
I tried coming over during the API drama, but seems like there are way way more users here now!
Yeah, that’s what caused me to switch. I’m pretty happy without reddit. I might open it once or twice a year or when Duck Duck go sends me there for my trouble shooting question.

Got perma-banned from a 15 year old account for joking about Elon Musk needing to get Luigi-ed. Fuck that place. Never going back.
Similar situation here. Nice to see all the like minded folks though!
