A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.
There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.
It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

Welcome to Lemmy, be sure to build your own subscription and block list. The updoots dont tally on your account (which I think is one of the healthiest changes), speak your mind, each comment stands on its own, and bad takes are not forever (Ive had my own fair share). If you dont like your mods, change instances or make your own.
I just joined a little while ago, there are blocklists here?
Also if you dont mind me asking, can you switch instances without creating a new account?
I use Jerboa as my app and in its UI you select the 3 dots icon and select "Block", it then prompts if you want to block the instance or user who made the post.
As for switching instances, not at this time. Its a feature thats been requested, but is complicated to implement (stay tuned). On that topic, as stated above, there is no vote total, so other than moving your saved posts there is no reason to be sentimental about your account. Just abandon it and make one on an instance with admins you agree with.
Bad takes are forever here. It's something I hate. Sometimes I'll comment on something and then end up deleting it because I just don't wanna get into it but it only deletes on your instance. I'll still get replies from everyone who can still see it.
Also is it still stupidly complicated to delete pics here?
The point is that because there is no vote tally you just have to assume everyone is a normal person, there is no scarlet letter on your account by having -2500 votes, you, the readers have to put in the effort to judge someone (or determine if they are a bot). Except for your accounts home instance, there is no badge that says someone posts to hexbear or someplace that is a bit off.
It does delete and propagate to other instances, but the process is not immediate. There can be some delay. I’ve had replies to deleted comments coming hours later if my instance was running behind.
Am I completely out of touch?
You're federated when you post here. There are definitely instances that are a bunch of nazis, a bunch of instances that are really dumb, and more. It's the internet. Everything you post is there forever. I like my instance, because it's the best I've found. Finding and identifying your home instance is more important than blocking users and communities. That will be the next step. Welcome human!
That might be an instance thing, sometimes instances are slow to update other instances, see my other comment for example.
Yeah, I've gone through and did a bunch of subscribing and a little bit of blocking a handful of instances I know will flood my feed with stuff I find creepy. I actually spent a couple days deciding on the right instance to join. I'm looking forward to more people showing up, and it's nice that everyone I've interacted with so far has been pretty chill.
This is the first time I'm seeing the retrolemmy.com server... neat! Welcome to the Fediverse (Threadiverse)!
Welcome! I'm full of shamefully bad takes I've not even uncovered yet, but I'll continue to do what it takes to proffer then without bias or foreknowledge of their shitty values. 😅 Let's be human together, fellow citizen. 🙃
