    He also gave the moderator of /r/jailbait a singular trophy “pimp daddy” that no one else has received.

      I unfortunately feel like it probably will end well for them, there really isn’t a mainstream alternative for reddit. Lemmy isn’t that easy to get into as an average user and the information on the reddit that have amassed over the years is just insane, I assume a lot of people are going to keep using reddit as if nothing has happened.

        I don’t know why people are saying Lemmy is difficult. I’m as dumb as a box of hammers and all I did was Google “Lemmy World”, clicked the top link, created an account, subbed to about 80 subs, and started posting.

        I have no idea what instances are or the Fediverse. I’m typing in subs and clicking submit.

        I just kept crawling and it kept working.

          I think the nerds (and I’m not using that as an insult) have kind of shot everyone in the foot by over-explaining the fediverse. I’ve yet to see a truly simple, concise, short explanation and how all this works is just kind of… a lot. It’s really neat, and I also get wordy when I’m excited about something so I totally get it (I mean, look at this comment. I get it lol). But when it takes more than a paragraph or two to explain what something is without even getting into how to navigate once you’re in, it’s intimidating for a lot of people. I had to watch YouTube videos to try to figure mastodon out, and still didn’t get my questions answered. It’s easier to find content I’m interested in on Lemmy and kbin, but after all the articles and chatter I’ve seen, I honestly expected it to be a lot more difficult. I was like, it’s social media. How hard can it be? And then I saw all the hype, I held off for a while before joining. The focus is about how instances work and whatnot, which IS really interesting and wonderful and neat, but the focus needs to shift a liiiittle bit toward telling people how to use the sites once they’re there, IMO.

    The fact that u/Spez now has a negativity filter implemented is just embarrassing for the entire company. Glad I moved on.

    This kind of behavior is what got me to join Lemmy just now. (this is my first ever post in fact.)

    I really wasn’t even onboard with the boycott. I thought it was silly and pointless and was planning to just stay on reddit, but then he had to tantrum like a child and go against the very spirit and point of reddit in process.

    So here I am. I haven’t deleted my years old reddit account yet, but I probably will at this point. This lemmy federation thing seems like it will do quite nicely.

      If you want to leave reddit with your middle finger held high, make sure to change all of your posts and comments to nonsense first, and then delete them. Then delete your account.

        Nah, I don’t care.

        Also, that seems like too much effort. Especially with thousands of comments over years. Probably 10s of thousands.

    Wait…so if I used Power Delete Suite to add Fuck Spez to all my old comments I could keep my stuff but the bot would make it all invisible to everyone else automatically? That sounds interesting.
