No, it's merely a federated reddit alternative which is why we're discussing it here.

Nope, not at all.
Lemmy is a Fediverse equivalent of Reddit.
Mastodon is a Fediverse equivalent to Twitter and Facebook.
There's no correlation to Lemmy and any sort of shitcoin, OTHER THAN lemmy server operators asking for donations.

I didn't find anything about that on Google or Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software)

#15This has been fun to watch. Reddits been working to deteriorate its quality for a long time. The major disappointment is that they aren't a publicly traded company so there is no way to make money on their downfall.
I thought the whole idea of locking down the API, heavily promoting reddit awards + avatars and pushing of the official app is done to have growth and a better valuation when they go public?

#16Well, considering I am getting this on clicking the link:
404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site? reason: Unexpected token 'T', "Timeout oc"... is not valid JSON
This site is clearly not prepared to handle any kind of migration from reddit.

#18IMO the FTC and courts (supreme?) should be stepping in here, and more generally, stating that communications platforms must not censor freedom of speech, nor censor in an anticompettive way.
If I want to talk about Hondas on Twitter, Elon should be barred from censoring that.
If I want to talk about Bitchute on Youtube, Alphabet must allow that.
If I want to use my macbook pro to write windows software, Apple must not block it.
etc.

#19Reddit is also basically hard down right now and has been for 30+ minutes and not a peep from their status page. Trying to impress investors by lying about their shitty site.

#20Does Lemmy allows the same behaviour of moderators if they want to be such?
I am searching a Reddit alternative with no ability to delete anything. The only acceptible for me censoureship is having a special forum branch with spam, trolls, nsfw and any other unwanting behaviour with no rights to write anywhere else for those who get banhammered.
