      Yeah, the mods shut it down. Please don’t fucking say that Reddit did that shit where they replace the mods with random people on 196…

          part of me doesn’t went to hate them ngl because they were getting shit on extremely hard for keeping it private, but I also do agree, “we” shouldn’t be supporting reddit like that

          Wow wait goblinhog wasn’t the head mod of 196? Never paid much attention, but with how much everyone talked about them, I had assumed so.

          Yeah, about the last part, I just recently found out that r/lgballt, which was a really cool subreddit where people posted comics in countryball style, but with LGBT+ flags instead, has been tagged as NSFW(!!!) when it’s one the most inoffensive subreddits in the entire platform.

    It was evident from the start, since only a small amount of people are hellbent on using 3rd party apps freely. Don’t be disappointed because atleast some percentage of people left atleast.

    The Lemmy learning curve is too steep. Even if all those users switched over a single malicious actor can take down an entire Lemmy instance.

      Honestly I kind of prefer it to have a learning curve. I hate to sound like a hipster but Reddit went to shit as soon as it became ultra-mainstream when covid hit

        It’s happened several times to the shitposting instance and mods are complaining about a lack of tools.
