For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

    This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.

      Unfortunately, that’s probably the only route, IMO

      My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.

      While it’s not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i’ve found. If you click to the “all” feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.

        Just to add, sorting All by Top Hour/6H keeps the content fresh. The default Active sorts by comments and favors 1-2 day old threads while Hot regularly resurfaces weeks old threads for some reason.

          After I subscribed to a Canada sublemmy, there was a full two days where I was just constantly being bombarded with threads from literal years ago I’d see a shockingly frightening news thing, click on the thread, start reading, realize this all sounded familiar, and then realize this was like covid news

        First post on here, I have as well followed after the dndmemes mod fiasco by Reddit. Question: does Lemmy allow NSFW content? Asking… For a friend.

          Each community is allowed to set their own standards for the rules they have, there’s no server wide ban necessarily against NSFW, so you should check with the mods of a given community

              One such instance is lemmynsfw.com

              You can subscribe to that instance’s communities from your current account, or make an account there for just NSFW (I personally like to keep my NSFW and regular browsing separate and I find that’s the easiest way 🙂)

                I tried subscribing to Lemmynsfw (found it yesterday) with my account but I couldn’t manage. So I registered another account and will swap between this and that on occasion, which is something I never did on Reddit because I was too lazy to swap so I kept everything on the same profile.

                Cheers :)

      Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don’t want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that’s what I would encourage you to do: Post things!

          Ttrpg.network, which you joined, is one of many websites that can all communicate together with a common web protocol. This process is called federation and all of those sites together are called the fediverse. So for example, I’m logged into slrpnk.net right now but because both of our sites (called instances) are federated, I can view and comment here, and you’d be able to do the same on any communities hosted on slrpnk.net. You may have heard of mastodon which is more of a twitter alternative but it’s also part of the fediverse, so you should be able to use your account here to view and interact with mastodon content as well if you wish.

          It’s a pretty clever system and while there are hiccups here and there, for me it has been a good replacement for Reddit. We just need more users and content to really get things going.

          This is the fediverse. It’s a bunch of different instances federating with each other, sharing content but remaining individual. That way, no one instance can pull a reddit and go mad with power.

          Imagine hundreds of Reddit sites with hundreds of communities (subreddits) each, that’s the fediverse (federated servers).

          They are called federated servers/instances because they are connected, their uses can interact (vote and comment) between each other.

          For example, you are @djgucci@ttrpg.network commenting on the RPGMemes community on the ttrpg.network, but I’m from the lemmy.world instance commenting on this community. This also means I can have a RPGMemes community back on my instance.

          You’re building a town on Mars, while I’m building a town on Jupiter, and we both have telescopes that can look at each other’s towns

          One explanation that really helped my grasp this I saw a while back was that this is very similar to how email works: Lots of different domains/providers/websites, but ultimately they are all connected and interact with each other.
