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.

COMMON SENSE GETS YOU BANNED ON REDDIT.
Thats my experience and my friends and family too. We all just switched to Lemmy.
I called malaria trump a whore.
Like, she fucked a decrepit orange ogre for money.
Edit, lol, malaria. Keeping that. Fitting.
Malaria. Love it. I'm going to use this because I can never remember her name.
On a post about a local company not wanting to serve LGBT folks... i said, vote with your wallets. Let the free market decide their fate. Apparently anything short of wanting to burn the place to the ground is considered bigotry.
I got banned for saying drumpf needs to be assassinated.
Weeeeeeell ... I upvoted you because I can't disagree, but this one is technically bannable. In the USA it is illegal to vocalize harm to the US president. One of the few real exceptions to free speech. It is also illegal to cause a panic, like yelling "Fire!" in a crowded area when there in no fire, to cause a panic.
Haven't been banned, but the bastards did make the reddit Boost app useless about a week ago. I switched to RedReader, but I don't like the app as much, so I don't stay on it as long now. Been using Lemmy a lot more.
Someone else posted that they wanted to fire Bezos off in a rocket never to return. I replied that it would be more appropriate to float him down the Amazon. My comment (and only mine) was banned for "inciting violence".
I stopped keeping track I also haven't logged in for almost two years.
Shit, when did they take away Apollo? 2-3 years ago now? That’s when I permanently fucked off.
Almost two years ago. June 2023. The day they announced their fuckery was the last day I logged on.
I got banned more than once for literally symmetrically repeating a comment calling to violence, inverted. The original comment's author wouldn't get banned, I would. Right of Sunnis to genocide everyone else in the Middle-East is protected, but not right of anyone else to genocide Sunnis, for example. Turkish nationalists are just as protected as Sunnis. Also a few emotional comments about people sticking their nose where they shouldn't and the reaction to that not being protest got me banned. All kinda political.
Also a few comments which were not specific enough to get their meaning without participating in a discussion, which nobody did, unlike hitting the report button. Typical Reddit.
Basically it's everything which can be interpreted as calls to violence or support of bigotry, except for approved kinds of violence and bigotry, and these are allowed of all degrees, and I mean all. You get banned for a slur, while someone else casually calls for genocide and doesn't get banned.
TLDR - talking politics in such places is useless and unpleasant.
did you just say santa isn't real! 😆
Maybe that's why I was banned. Spez didn't know.
I just said I wanted to see more CEO blood in the streets. Perfectly harmless sentiment imo.
Cheaper then eggs down there I hear.
I said we used to have a method of dealing with traitors
