Re: Reddit permanently bans account of user advocating Lemmy migration
#72I moderate a few modestly sized subreddits for a niche hobby -- regular stuff, nothing that could be regarded as morally questionable or a ToS issue -- to the tune of 10k-15k active users on a busy day. My account was suspended for "suspicious activity" the other day[1], and some of my less active subreddits were also banned. While extenuating circumstances (described in the post linked below) mean it's plausible thi…
The real question here is this: What have reddit administrators done in the last 10 years that makes you the person reading this comment believe that they deserve the benefit of doubt?
On the off chance it was an overzealous anti-spam bot, but you accused them of dirty dealings anyway, is this a form of injustice so awful that you would feel remorse the rest of our life for the false allegations?
I know what my answer is.

#73I hope Lemmy does well, but I don't think it's going to replace Reddit (and that's likely fine in the eyes of the Lemmy team) Nobody wants a federated, slow, difficult to use version of reddit. Nobody wants to choose a server. We just want reddit without the bullshit. It's the same issue with Mastodon. Mastodon is down over 1 million users since last December, and I bet that's related to how difficult it is to sign u…
It's like your local freemason lodge. The conversations will be much more interesting but they will never be as popular as meetup.

Exactly. I always thought Mastadon could have been so much more successful if they had just proxied cached versions of the most popular instances through a single larger server. Sure it would give Mastadon the power to pick and choose who it wants to host, but if you want to go join a different instance you are more than welcome to. It would just substantially streamline the process for your mainstream user.
The problem with Mastodon is that some people still don't know how to spell it properly. It's not rocket science.

#75Aaron Swartz would be disappointed in Reddit's actions such as this.

#76When Elon did this it did seem to work and it crushed the migration to Mastodon. Elon seems to be inspiring other tech CEOs which is worrying as a SWE since Elon is explicit about thinking that SWEs are pampered and need to be knocked down a few pegs.

It seems petty. That said this decentralization effort ( if users moving to other products can be called that ) may be good overall. I was getting weary of Reddit, Discord and few other entities owning nearly the entire market.

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, everyone had similar views about twitter and it's still kicking around just fine.
If Elon had kept the company public, any one with two neurons able to fire would have been shorting it and would have cleaned up. With his leadership and decision making, Twitter would have gone to 0 by now.
Looking at the most recent cases of Doge, Twitter and Tesla a while ago, I'd say that Musk is skilled in accumulating goodwill and capital.
Honestly, I think going public again with Twitter could be a smart thing. Not now, but later when more ppl dropped their grudge. Retails would probably be more inclined to buy Twitter stock rather than banks.
There are also rumours that Twitter will be cash flow positive by the end of the year.

#79Let me guess; This is one of the accounts that was just posting the same "Migrate to lemmy!" message in every single thread talking about the protest next week.
Spam is spam guys.

#80No you must be mistaken, Reddit is perfect, Twitter is bad.
