I bet the fediverse wouldn't censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn't a bitch.

MODERATORS
Reddit took action faster about Lemmy than they did responding to the epidemic of CSAM subs.
I left reddit because they kept resisting the removal of subs that directly used the platform to sell CSAM under the guise of a specific niche of porn which normally is legal. Direct contact with reddit to explain why it was CSAM went nowhere.
Welcome here!
That sounds right for the company whose CEO was appointed moderator of r/jailbait. This was before you had to accept an invitation to be moderator, but fuck Spez regardless.
How can you look more alien than Zuckerberg?
He was the inspiration for reddit's logo
No, the logo is cute
It made me make an account here. I also convinced the group chat to move to signal last night.
Based
Welcome, pal!
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes
I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website
I still see the comment on Spaduf's profile, but it shows as deleted in the post
I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in
Reddit is scared. Good job getting the screenshot.
Gotta be. It was right after I made the edit.
actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn't seem to happen in r/fediverse
no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed
no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol
Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.

Oh crap
Was reading through the thread and holy shit I swear half the comments are anti fediverse propaganda.
I wonder how long till the post gets removed.
Edit: would it be immoral for me to mass bot the thread with AI powered pro fediverse propaganda?
they got me with the propoganda forsure, it seemed complicated was actually super simple, every comment will act like its so hard to swap over or signup when once you do look it up you immediately see why its better at its core
I never played WoW or anything like that, but aren't there several WoW servers and you have to decide which one to be on when you start the game? People managed that.
explaining the fediverse would be you join different servers but can still play together?
I still prefer the email analogy with explaining how it works. The WoW analogy is for the people who say "That's too complicated for the unwashed masses to understand." People have been signing up for World of Warcraft going on three decades now, I think they'll figure out lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works.
Yep, and it's not even fully federated. Different servers have also quite a bit different focus.
I will steal from now on WoW comparison when talking about the fediverse!
Aside from what Blaze mentioned, that's also not really the kind of publicity that we want. Better to just respond to individual users and encourage them to try Lemmy out.

You can try, but you'll probably get flagged
U would be surprised what u can do with an account list a proxy list and a tor connection.

Let's fucking go, this is great to see! Remember to be nice to the new users if you see them around.
Ah, a worthy reason to dust off the ol account
Yep! I'm on there right now directing people to Lemmy
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
Just threw in a link in both subs for anybody interested in getting off Reddit:)
HAZZAH! Maybe soon we can talk baseball in the guardians community (and how Jose Rameriez is our baseball lord!), and talk about Tim Misney's eyebrows in the Cleveland community.
You KNOW what I do! eyebrows
And to anyone reading this NOT from Cleveland, and have no idea what I'm talking about....
eyebrows intensify

Would if I could but I deleted my account and Reddit has been blocking my connection for months anyway.
old.reddit.com always works for me, even for posts or communities which they force you to log in and/or use the app to view.
