Last night, I finally made the switch from Reddit to Lemmy. Honestly it was something I should have done a long time ago. I’d been hearing about Lemmy for a while, but I kept brushing it off because it seemed complicated or too niche or too techy. But after one too many encounters with power-hungry mods, desperate upvote chasers, and a flood of obvious bots, I hit my breaking point. I actually ended up learning more about Lemmy from people venting on Reddit itself, which was kind of ironic!!
I set up an account here, took a last look around Reddit, and bailed. Reddit used to feel like a genuine community, but now it’s just a money-hungry platform, clearly trying to squeeze out every dollar as it spirals down. Lemmy might be new to me, but at least here, it feels like voices still matter. I know you guys already know this, but I want to throw it out there: You all are right!
For someone who has barely got here you appear to be a prolific poster if offensive subject matter.
Can I suggest you head back to reddit
I was going to say that the lil dude just got here, and should probably just shred the reddit trolling-for-karma mentality … then I saw their posting history. Maybe they’ll get the message when all their posts are below -80.
Thought it was a bot at first due to the spacing of the posts.
Still not entirely convinced.
Well, welcome to Lemmy! I don’t think you’re going to make a whole lot of friends around here based on your comment history… but I’m glad for you that you left that crap factory. I’ve been here for a little over a year now, no regrets.
Done forget Reddit now run by donkey (admin) keep banning people without any reason. It is a garbage platform.
Go back! We were better off without you here spreading dictator bullshit all over the walls.
Normally I welcome people with different opinions, but I truly believe that people still following Trump are absolutely in the wrong. He is a foul, broken, weird human, and his goals are to fuck up all of our lives (yes, yours too) so that he and a dozen others can have money and power. This is as clear, proven, and obvious as it is reading the history books about prior dictators, so I have zero sympathy or respect for seemingly intelligent people who still support him.
So uh, welcome I guess, you do you, but I don’t think we are gonna be your crowd.
FYI - your mod history of banning people left and right and not being able to take the slightest criticism of the Orange Shit Flinging Gibbon is why you got banned from Politics:
I don’t know if Lemmy’s the future, but even if it’s not, Reddit’s the past. This place seems like the best bet at being the future right now.
Not all of us are hard-line tankies but you’ll find no one likes the orange Nazi here. You’ve had almost 10 years to figure out the man’s a danger to the social fabric of this country and the geopolitical stability of the world at large. Please just leave and take your poisonous opinions with you.

Welcome to the better side. Feel free to get started by checking out your communities on here, post some content to those communities and they will get engagement. If your community isn’t here, start it. It’s a smaller community around here so it will probably get seen.
Edit: oh boy you seem to be uploading a bit of politics there…
Edit 2: I kindly ask you to fuck off if you support the orange rapist
Welcome! Don’t feel shy to check out other instances than .ml or .world. Like dbzero, solarpunk and many more.
Thank you!
Hmmm… I mean, you won’t fit in with Lemmy proper any more than Reddit proper (perhaps worse, lol), but it raises a question to other lemmings: are there any conservative instances?
I’m torn, as on the one hand I’d prefer you not have an echo chamber, but on the other hand I’d like to see Lemmy prosper. There’s a reason instances defederate from one another, and radical idiology is one. Look at Hexbear for an example.
Btw, Lemmy was created by genuine communists (not the hyperbole ones, I mean actual ones) and run the Lemmy.ml instance. While it’s FOSS and therefore plenty of others have run and moderate their own instances, keep in mind that’s our starting point.
Yeah, I would like to find a good conservative instance to go on in case I get banned here for having a community called The Donald. lol
Truth Social.
I don’t think you’re looking for a conservative community, you’re looking for a Neonazi forum.
This thread is so interesting.
a little more interesting than I thought it would be
Welcome to lemmy.
*Sees your posts
Lmao, blocked.
GotDAMN, that’s the fastest preemptive block I’ve ever made here. Thanks for pointing that out.
Can’t see any posts by OP other rhan this one.
What are you referring to?
Incredibly pro trump to the point of starting The Donald style communities and posting old school cool style photos of the weirdo pedo.
Oof. Thanks for pointing that out.
The guy you like praises Hitler for fucks sake. Wake up.
Just wanted to let you know you’re wrong, and that your fetish for fascist father figures will only result in you consistently disappointing everyone around you. Your ideology is backwards and antithetical to basic empathy. Welcome to Lemmy.
Wow that’s a lot. Probably need to work on ur welcoming committee skills tho.
“oh no someone’s unwelcoming to my bigoted belief system”
Nah, seems appropriate to me for what you’re promoting. Cya never.
