They are censoring a post over on r/technology about the fediverse.
That comment is why I’m here now.
Welcome!
I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website
I still see the comment on Spaduf’s profile, but it shows as deleted in the post
it seems like copying Spaduf’s comment to r/fediverse worked, but in r/technology it got deleted for me too
for me it seems like join-lemmy.org, lemm.ee, and even lemmy.world are safe but some of the others will get your comment deleted
I’m not sure what motivated their selection because lemmy.world is the biggest one so I thought that would be the banned one
Modlogs being public by default makes this place more credible
Please link this thread too for context and screenshots.

And give old.reddit link, I can’t even fucking use that shitty UI they have now, it’s so bad.

Thanks
Reddit deleted it? That seems underspecified. Was it actually the company / admins?
what company its ran by unpaid labor
So that means they feel threatened by us, that’s good news!
I just made a post on [email protected] to discuss how to promote Lemmy on Reddit: https://feddit.org/post/7090265
Do we know how many they lost in the first exodus last year?
not enough, but Reddit will blunder eventually so all we have to do is keep Lemmy alive and avoid extremist capture (looking at you lemmy.ml) and Lemmy will win eventually. Unfortunately, that’s kinda hard to do as there was voat, prismo and 20 other reddit alternatives that didn’t make it.
Honestly. That is good news. The last time people came here from Reddit, Lemmy became way worse with more insufferable users.
If we expect to build a mature and sustainable platform, we have to learn how to deal with the negative aspects of what new people of all backgrounds bring with themselves.
Ya I mean the people who were here before the APIcalypse aren’t exactly the most amiable group either, to say the least.
Also the guy you’re responding to made his account June 15, 2023, he was almost certainly part of the original wave of reddit migrants. Not sure what he could be referring to about the last time people came from reddit, I don’t remember any big waves since the original one.
It’s like those people who move to NYC from a different region of the country and start complaining about gentrification and suburban commuters after living in a highrise for 2 years. Like bitch, you are the gentrification, and those suburbanites are a hell of a lot more familiar with the city than your ass even if they don’t live inside its limits. Sorry if that’s unrelated, I just hate gatekeeping.
Applauding that.
Gatekeeping is never good, it doesn’t really matter who perpetrates it. Lemmy and Fediverse as a whole should be welcoming places for newbies to get into, not the barren battlefield angry to be disturbed.
But this conflict is as old as time - think of Eternal September, for example.
but lemmys great because the ppl that really fit a specific type congregate in certain servers and then you can just block the whole server, at least thats what I’ve been told, I’m still fairly new
