I'm sure Orwell didn't really expect telescreens to become a real thing, but we have very literally welcomed surveillance devices into our lives and homes. Now, it's just a matter of who starts actively using them as a monitoring device.

They literally said that they don't want to tell, because it will lead to users gaming the system. 😒

Turns out Pig Boy is not only a big fan of that Twitter Twat but also of Kafka.

Literally the reason I’m here right now. Fuck reddit

Probably not, reddit, like all modern social media platforms, is essentially "too big to fail". They have captured and cornered their markets and will continue to dominate indefinitely.

Throughout all of these things reddit's user growth has went up, not down. Daily Active Users grow, month over month, more than 20x the entire population of Lemmy., just think about that, there's more growth to the daily active user count on a monthly basis (not the totally user count), then the entire population of Lemmy, x20.

It's depressing to think about. But it's also reality. And reality fucking sucks.

All I can hope is that lemmy and similar continue to grow.

They reached the end of what reddit used to be a long time ago when they switched to yet another algorithm based flood of crap.

A few small communities might carry on the tradition, but the site as a whole is nothing like the user curated content aggregator that it used to be.

I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time

I was considering getting an account after being off Reddit for almost 2 years just because there are some pretty large active transgender communities then I saw this.

Adios Reddit. Well hello Fediverse. I will switch back to lemmy. First, they took our third-party apps. Now, they are actively censoring. Farewell Reddit. Fuck u/spez

Slippery slope.

spez can just edit the comment for them

They dont care.

This is not about being reasonable this is about rooting out dissent when big events happened like a dead CEO recently

Welcome, enjoy it while it's small

Welcome to Lemmy! It's much, much slower here, but a lot of people (myself included) see that as a plus.

Please don't be discouraged if your niche hobby isn't represented here. I'm not one to talk, but if the community for it doesn't exist, go ahead and create it! 😁

Welcome! A few pointers to help you settle in

Feel free if you have any questions

Don't anger The Wizard and you'll be fine.

The show is the point. Users are supposed to self-censor out of fear, which is far more effective than any form of automated censorship. Reddit just implement the "chilling effect".
