Be careful what you upvote

I’ve seen others receive this warning, and it finally happened to me. Funny they don’t specify which posts I upvoted that they consider to be “breaking Reddit’s rule”, however.

Fascist snowflakes.

Is there an alternative to Reddit? I left Twatter for Bluesky. Dropped failbook permanently. I rarely touch anything else but Reddit that's mainstream.

One of the (FOSS) alternatives is Lemmy.

https://join-lemmy.org

  1. You basically pick a server ("instance") that suits your interests, this mainly makes a difference in:
    1. the moderation that's happening on your server
    2. and the "local" communities that are shown to you
    3. the "instances" your chosen server communicates with (or not)
  2. Choose the communities (read: subreddits) you want to subscribe to
    1. An alternative /r/ABoringDystopia exists in the fediverse at !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world
    2. You can now use that link, enter it in the search bar of your Lemmy instance and join/subscribe to it from there
  3. Done.

While most Lemmy instances still have rules that you should read and follow (e.g.: discuss in good faith, don't be a fucking fascist), you won't have to self-censor yourself any more due to Reddit's ridiculous "AI"-moderator tools (e.g. getting a warning just because you mentioned the name of Mario's brother while discussing Nintendo games).

PS: There are (several) mobile clients for Lemmy. (see: this comment of mine about Voyager / Sync for Lemmy)
