    I get banned on Reddit about once a week. I don’t even post controversial statements. Lemmy is ten times better. Just wish there were more users.

      Got banned for telling some one “fuck you you neonazi apologizer”. Apparently it was permanent banning offense, even after appealing. Lol.

      They didn’t ban the other dude. I guess he technically didn’t say anything that was violated the rules of reddit. All he did was justify the actions of white supremacist in the past for all the non-white people colonization, murdering and plundering, describing it as a product of time, but at the same timez he was also not okay with white people colonization.

      Funny how things work.

      Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore 😂. And bunch of dead subs. Really different place that it used to be. Lemmy is much better place

      Sometimes I was just being ironic or just joking. A few advertisements were being made over the grounded F-35 in India. I joked that its departure would be like the moon landings all over again and broadcasted similarly all over India.

      They hated it. Thought I was being serious. Despite an edit to make it clearer, I still got the Reddit ban hammer.

      I deleted my account the same day. A 15 year or more account.

          It doesn’t (yet, Trump has sort of said they could buy it). The OP was talking about a British F-35B that had a technical issue and got stranded due to a missing part to fix it.

          What’s even more hilarious is that my comment was reported and myself banned for ‘hate speech’. That’s when I knew Reddit is fucked and I’m never going back.

    I think Forgejo with federation will take over in another 10 years. Microsoft and others will be forced to copy it similar to meta and bluesky corporate options adding federation.

    Forgejo/Codeberg is also a non-profit cooperative so there should sustainability of mission there.

    Blender developers moved from Phabricator to their own Gitea instance, about two years ago now. They worked to bring some features to Main that were missing apparently (can’t tell you which), and as far as I can tell it seems to be functionally identical.

        It is isn’t it? I hope to see the these kinds of alternatives being the main way we interact with each other, Instead of billionaires controlling the very system the majority of earth’s population relies on. I wonder how the Martians are doing (not a reference, just wanted to say that lol)

    I deleted my 13 year old Reddit account and I am so glad I did. They started banning me for the most ridiculous things. I am very vocal about the Israeli genocide and just using the word genocide, was enough for them to temporarily ban me. They follow a zionist agenda and they censor voices that are against genocide. I don’t have to talk about Spez, everyone already knows what type of person he is.

      My last ban was for “Fostering and promoting race based hate and violence”.

      My comment resulting in the ban, I believe was “Fuck ICE and anyone who aids that white supremacist gestopo. Fight them via any and all means necessary”.

      I appealed, and the ban was upheld.

        You didn’t say a wrong word. On the same hand they allows WorldNews and Conservative scum to facilitate hate and incite violence. Reddit deserves to die.

    You could self-host GitLab, though if you’re looking for exposure it’s probably not the best.

        Currently, I’m doing:

        • Codeberg for anything decent that can be public and open source
        • sr.ht for shitty or private stuff

        Although, I’m planning to get off sr.ht long term because

          Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault’s work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone’s public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.

          Ok my deleted message was: “Saying gay as a synonym for bad or weird is homophobic.”

          But I’m not really sure if it is in the context you were saying in, this could be taken as a stance in terms of making fun of people who say gay as a synonym for bad or weird. In which case it is totally ok to be mean to homophobes.

          I’m kinda confused is this homophobic or not?

            To be gay is absolutely completely 100% fine. But it’s also, like, really gay. Does that help?

            I think they were just making a joke because git.gay.

            As in, not as bad or weird but more making fun of the homophobic “it’s gay” argument that used to be used.

            I do the same thing with my spousy occasionally. We’re gay as hell, so it’s funny as shit when I stroll by their room and just say, “Gaaaaaaaay~”. Lol.

              I just had a pretty intense argument with my friends about this and we ultimately came to the same conclusion as you pretty much.
