Friendly reminder that almost all news media outlets and social media platforms are owned by a handful of extremely wealthy individuals and they are in full control of the algorithm that feeds you content, so you’ll likely never see anything that is critical of them or advocates for them to have less power or influence than they do.

Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.
Someone posted this and that’s honestly scary. I hope more people abandon this sinking ship of Reddit.
I barely used Reddit - good riddance, this is what spurred me to sign up here. The right wing infestation of social media is nasty.
And that is why I’m here now. Hello fellow travellers!
Reddit is turning into an American-dominated oligarchy. That’s why I moved to Lemmy. Hi everyone!
And now here I am.
That’s why I’m here.
It’s so awesome seeing all these new people here bailing from reddit. Welcome!
I just created a Lemmy account because of this stupid policy. Republicans/Conservatives can spew all manner of hate without consequence and we upvote “Elbows Up” (a hockey term BTW) and we get banned? Screw that.
Finally made the jump. Reddit is a right-wing cesspool of censorship.
Reddit; hear no evil, see no evil, upvote no evil
Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.
God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.
ETA: I mention this because the current government wants to find anyone who does this.
The [unelected president] moaned on his platform that some Reddit users on the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter had broken the law after they allegedly revealed the identities of his so-called DOGE goon squad.
I got banned from my city’s subreddit for calling out racism and within minutes was then banned 3 other Canadian subreddits.
The Russkies seem to have a stranglehold on our social media platforms
It’s horrifying especially to think how Reddit never did anything about the fucked up things incels would say they wanted to do to underage girls and women, or the literally jailbait, racist, insanity they’d share. Basically that stuff was always okay, but if you want to defend yourself against your oppressor? Banned for upvoting despite you didn’t even think the comment was “bannable”.
