I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

I've been here since reddit backstabbed its 3rd party app devs, and even just since then, Lemmy has grown a LOT while reddit continues to enshittify.

Welcome aboard!

I feel like today is my first day but I made a serious attempt to move here when that happened. I just couldn't get the apps to work on my android -- I kept having to make new accounts when the one I'd set up would suddenly no longer log in.

But today things seem to be working beautifully!

I'm using Connect on Android. It's worth a whirl!

There are quite a few mobile apps to choose from now. I'm using Sync with no complaints, but I haven't done a comparison since I joined.

My main complaint with sync is that the premium version is just too damn expensive. At least give me a discount since I bought premium for Reddit sync ! Then again, it usually fails to serve me the ads these days, so I guess it's alright.

The main complaint I have is that lemmy spoiler tags are incorrectly implemented by sync, so you can't reveal what they say.

I still use it out of habit from Reddit days, but it's annoying that something so easy to fix is getting ignored by the dev. The app is pretty much abandoned at this point despite still selling the premium subscription

Yeah it's definitely way too expensive for an abandoned app.
