so sick of the ban wave… literally can’t even talk to someone on reddit without them also being banned, had my last alt for like a week and maybe 10 people got permanently suspended literally while I was talking to them, mostly very polite interesting people. one was a super long very calm somewhat humorous debate about WW2 history and just as we start to agree, poof he’s banned. I want to give reddit credit and assume it was for something on another sub, but im guessing they just mistook one of his comments about the war as a “call for violence” or some bullshit and banned him.

I hate most social media these days, since ukraine. I never really liked reddit but I kinda got into it because of chapo , then I found you guys when they got banned but then you got banned too so wtf… there’s not even a new replacement sub, why bother they’d just be banned right? I hate facebook, twitter, imgur, i don’t take photos of my lunch so ive never even been on snapchat or instagram. I miss revleft (if anyones old enough to remember them?)

I’m just done with reddit any social media you guys can recommend where I dont have to stick to 144 words, or just post photos?

    thanks never heard of it, Ill check it out, users is the biggest issue, it’s easy to setup a new site like this one but getting more than 5 posts a day is a struggle. are those stats in the sidebar accurate? 292 users here all month? damn im surprised anyone replied at all lol

        yeah I think I signed up right after the genz sub got banned, and left because the traffic was so slow, I genuinely forgot the name of this site took me forever to find it on google but somehow I magically remembered my login info.

          Yeah the transition wasn’t all that smooth. Constant DDos attacks, technical problems with the app and confusion about lemmy itself turned a lot of users off back then and it was fairly quiet even with the GZD refugees. It’s gotten a lot better over the past couple months though. We have plenty of very active threads a day - enough for me to miss some of them despite coming here a couple times a day.

          LG isn’t going to be banned by reactionary admins any time soon, so stick around if you’re keen to talk shit with other deplorable tankies

            thank ill maybe stick around for awhile, i used to post on revleft which had really low traffic, but then the mods went ban crazy kind of like reddit is now, and banned anyone vaguely supporting the Spartacist league(oh no what a crime) lost like half the userbase then just went schoolmarm rule crazy on the remaining few members and then they just had to shut the whole thing down for lack of activity and donations.
