So what we expected finally happened.
Reddit quarantined (and might soon ban) the most active communist subreddit, and one of the very few non-western-supremacist ones left.
We’ve gotten dozens of new applications, and are approving them as quickly as we can.
Here are a few Lemmy mobile apps for Android and iOS, if you prefer using those over the web app.
If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can help with, new ideas or communities, or anything that can make the transition away from stormfront easier, let us on the mod team know.
Reddit, Silicon valley, surveillance capitalism, bourgeois media, down with them!
convenience beats everything unfortunately, and discord sure is a convenient, well-built tool. it is no wonder people dont want to leave it because all other lads are there. but discord is in league with big tech, and its staff is filled with rather questionable people. i dont want to use it more than i have to, and i know that when shit goes down they will wipe out things they dont like.
i think people are aware that privacy doesnt exist on the modern web, however not many believe that this will ever bite them in the ass, hence why so many are hesitant to make the jump. but i hate to be the one who yells “i told you so”.
consolidation of the internet that happened during mid-late 00s is a goddamn tragedy.
