    when did Lemmy become the “I got banned from reddit” frontpage?

    ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It’s a shithole url. Get over it.

      This sub, the one you are currently participating in by commenting on it, is titled “Reddit”…

        I’ll be a bit pedantic and say that this is a community not a subreddit, since we’re, y’know, not on reddit.

          Oh I thought “sub” was like universal terminology like “sub-forum” or something. So to clarify “sub” here is “community”?

            It’s fine to still call it a sub. Everyone know what you mean. If anyone else really feels the need to be pedantic, it’s just not a “sub-reddit,” but you still “sub-scribe” to it, so…

              Indeed, and the distraction from the point that someone was complaining about having to read about Reddit in a Reddit community was not worth the tangent.

                    Honestly I dk. I stopped using it two years ago because of technical problems. Just checked for the first time since 2023 and it’s down for maintenance. I have no idea if it’s been like that recently or for years.

        yeah, and I’ll block it, but you do realize, people who aren’t subscribed still see trending on the front page right?

        and I stick to my premise: you’re here, leave that shit behind. have better standards. encourage those other communities to migrate over if you must but dwelling on spez’s folly is just… bleh. no one should waste their time on it.

          I really don’t understand your issue here. So should people not post their experiences and thoughts on social media?

          It’s a dedicated community for it, it’s in the exact place it’s supposed to be in. I don’t see the point in restricting yourself because you don’t want it to be on the front page or what not

          Besides, it’s still important to discuss the decline of a major user platform like reddit, especially since most of us here have personal experience with it, and likely have friends that use it
