I have enjoyed my time in Reddit with my art account.
I used to share NSFW portraits as per redditor requests there for around 3 years. Built my karmas and connections. Usually doing my routine of posting on some subs, when I got shadowbanned then eventually permabanned. I tried to appeal a couple more times but I just lost hope.
I will surely miss those times but F*ck That! I hope I find new people to jam with here in Lemmy.
Welcome. If you mean reddit as in the company, yes. They’ve been trying to make the site more attractive to advertisers in the past couple of years.
Is that really what he looks like? I mean nobody did anything to his eyes?
I see. Feels stupid to be walking on egg shells HAHA
Im sure you will find people here that appreciate your art. Welcome to the cool and free, but sometimes clunky, side of the internet.
Thanks! It is kinda hard to navigate but slowly getting there
Its hard to imagine, but back when the first major reddit exodus happened, it was even more clunky. Now everything is mostly stable, federation works properly, image and text formatting is pretty user friendly in the web UI, etc
The only stuff that will always stay unintuitive is linking to communities and posts and users and stuff.
For example when i open this community from my instance, the URL in my browser is https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/reddit@lemmy.world
But the proper way to link it, so it will always open in the instance of the user that clicks it is !reddit@lemmy.world
With posts, comments and users there is no syntax like this i think sadly.
Growing up on the late '90s - '00s internet, I loved the rough edges of it. There is charm in jank.
You don’t have to censor the F word. Swearing is actually mandatory here.
As for an actual answer: The company itself? Yes, absolutely! Them trying to become advertiser friendly at any cost combined with some of the dumbest and user unfriendly decisions drive the site more and more into the dirt. The very fact that we are continuously growing with each wave following some fuck up on their site is proof enough. The users are trying to resurrect motherfucking Digg for crying out loud! They rather commit cyber necromancy than putting up with Reddits shit!
Anyway, welcome. Feel free to shitpost.
Since logging in, shitposting was the main goal HAHA. Thanks for welcoming me
It was inevitable that reddit would fall victim to enshittification once they went public. Now the line must go up forever so they’ll just copy paste every shitty addictive feature from every other garbage platform.
Yup, been on Reddit for 14 years and it’s now unusable. I deleted my account and won’t go back again. I know the population here isn’t even close to reddit, but I see reddit refugees coming over eventually. If I can’t share my thoughts on a platform what is the point of using it?
Totally agree with you! What’s the point of a forum type of app if you will bombarded by filters and bans.
One thing I wish that Lemmy had, and which may be relevant to you, is the ability to follow users. I guess the workaround is to create a community with your name on it.
It’s become a conservative safe space, fuck that place so hard
