Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.
Friendly reminder that almost all news media outlets and social media platforms are owned by a handful of extremely wealthy individuals and they are in full control of the algorithm that feeds you content, so you’ll likely never see anything that is critical of them or advocates for them to have less power or influence than they do.
This is the 2025 version of “The revolution won’t be televised”.

I just created a Lemmy account because of this stupid policy. Republicans/Conservatives can spew all manner of hate without consequence and we upvote “Elbows Up” (a hockey term BTW) and we get banned? Screw that.
I accidentally upvote, so even if I undo it, I think it’s only a matter of time. Plus they didn’t even think about edited posts. It may not start off with affecting a lot of people but may grow that way. It is what is pushing me to lemmy and I hope to join you guys for good convo!
I got banned from my city’s subreddit for calling out racism and within minutes was then banned 3 other Canadian subreddits.
The Russkies seem to have a stranglehold on our social media platforms
And that is why I’m here now. Hello fellow travellers!
Finally made the jump. Reddit is a right-wing cesspool of censorship.
Someone posted this and that’s honestly scary. I hope more people abandon this sinking ship of Reddit.
Well that’s just straight up fucking bonkers.
Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.
God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.
ETA: I mention this because the current government wants to find anyone who does this.
The [unelected president] moaned on his platform that some Reddit users on the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter had broken the law after they allegedly revealed the identities of his so-called DOGE goon squad.
So if the content is banned how are people up voting it?
Which is why I’m here!
I barely used Reddit - good riddance, this is what spurred me to sign up here. The right wing infestation of social media is nasty.
I actually came here today because of this! So far so happy with Lemmy
