Billionaire Tesla CEO and Trump ally Elon Musk allegedly pressured the CEO of social media platform Reddit to stifle users criticizing him or President Donald Trump, leaving platform moderators furious.
They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
You’re a wee babby. After the next few blinks, you’ll be 62 like me. Make the years count and don’t work for some corporate overlord anymore t than you have to.
when it was good, it was real good. Every subject I could want in one place, and I could organize it as I wish.
Lemmy is a confusing mess and lacking in basic features compared to reddit (although there’s probably front ends I could download that would fix my complaints).
Obviously, I’m here, so the inconvenience is an acceptable price for not being on reddit anymore.
eventually, imma have to actually look into lemmy front ends or clients. I stand by the statement that I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll prolly have a better time of things if I did.
Same. I had JUST said to someone last night that I’d never been banned or even warned, though I’d said plenty stuff on the violently anti fascist end of things. A few hours later, I get a warning, though they didn’t say for which comment. Thankfully, someone told me about her!
Reddit has been compromised by the oligarchs.
I just left after twenty years. I warned them about overly censoring in their research calls but I guess they didn’t want to listen
Jesus has it been 20 years now? I’m old
I turn 40 on 4-20. We’re old now homie

Just a couple years behind you brother 😩
It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.
Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.

I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.

World is already heading that way. It’s one of the few instances that requires your “real” email address and has deleted political threads.
This is the exact catalyst that finally brought me over to Lemmy
