After years of using reddit, i finally deleted everything including my account there. Personally, i am not affected by the api prices, BUT, i couldn’t live with me supporting people, who see their userbase, moderators and creators as nothing but noise. The point i’m making? Greetings Lemmy. I joined a few days ago and i’m here to stay so cheers everyone and, hi

    Hello, welcome, I joined a few days ago as well, because of the same reasons too. What a coincidence.

    Not really I know, lot of us came here from reddit because we don’t support it anymore. And that’s to be expected with latest actions reddit took exposing their greed and need for control.

    Anyway each day here I see more and more content, so it seems things are going good and I love seeing it grow. So guess who’s going to stay here too. Cheers.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention, this no karma currency thing is awesome.

      Ah i welcome you just the same my guy. What can is say, let’s keep pumping that sweet content here and enjoy our time. I’ve been sorting things out as of late so this is just the next step to getting to what the internet once was imo. I’m happy to see this website grow too and yea, about that karma, i never really gave much of a shit about it tbh, so works for me. Hope you’ll have a pleasant night/day

        Hi, i’m edd grubberman, and I came here when one of my anime subs went private. NGL I had no idea it was because WWF style royal rumble between the reddit admin vs users vs mods. kbin.social and lemmy reminds me a little of websites from back in the day. Constant 411, and 505 errors while some servers are trying to keep up. I wonder if the admin will demote the mods. I also wonder wth funny af high octane anime and popcorn movies to watch. and where the hell did I put my car keys?

      The no karma thing is a great point and one I overlooked. I wonder how that difference will influence how people post and comment.

      Yeah I can even understand the pressure/rush to monetize from the admin’s POV. But nothing justifies being dismissive of the mods/community that works for free to allow your business to exist, or the way they tried to accuse Apollo devs.

      Well a min karma and a CAPTCHA check to filter spam was only r/mildlyinfuriating . On the subs I’d lurk in Karma was abused and farmed. My “favorite” (ironically) was temp bans because some people couldn’t and or didn’t want to read. like I said, I mostly came from reddit because some subs I was using to fix a email problem. then I found out about how weird, and psychotic haufman was, and the entire clusterfuck for going public.
