Brisbane

Deleted everything 2 days before the blackout.

Also didn’t want to wait till the end of the month incase there was an influx of people at the end when the API becomes paid.

No regrets.

I still go there for a few specific communities that haven't moved over here yet. But when I have some time to kill I now use lemmy or some other indie sites to fill that void.

I used to have a Reddit tab open all the time on my phone and PC, and spent hours scrolling.

I've now drastically cut down on my time there, mostly just skimming through r/Perth and that's it. I also use it to help my kid with Minecraft stuff but I'm looking for alternatives. It's such a pity because it's a treasure trove of knowledge and I don't even use 3rd party apps, but the contempt and disrespect shown to users is just terrible.

I deleted all my posts on Reddit last weekend, then my account — if I can’t use Apollo, then they’re not going to get the benefit from my post history (7 years). Looking for something else. Happy with Lemmy so far, open to suggestions of others. Left Facebook and Twitter ten years ago, tried Facebook again for a few weeks, a few months ago; it’s much worse than I remembered. Deleted my account there too.

Deleted my accounts after 14 years. Contributed, modded, had a decent amount of karma, fuck it.

I'm here now, trying to wean myself off relay. So far I've found the thunder app for Android to be the nicest.

Does anyone use any developmental kbin apps yet or is that not a thing?

I'm burning through my comment history with Redact right now and left all my subs. I plan on keeping an account exclusively for my local sub, but I haven't decided if I'm going to keep using mine or spinning up a new one. I already burned my 15 year old account to spite a catty super mod who banned me from 10 or so subs at once I certainly don't care about this one lmao

I'm in the process of understanding this Fediverse. Trialing Lemmy also but the login is unbearable. Can't even get into my account. I've already created one.

Quite keen to get out from under American "Community Standards", US defaultism and the extreme censorship that became prevalent on Reddit. I think the Fediverse taking off would be a paradigm shift in the way communities can be run, surviving any pushes to moderate to a particular agenda or set of tastes, and reduce the effectiveness of consensus manufacturing.

Worked examples could be that, fast forward 5 years, some Brisbane communities might allow casual use of swearwords like cunt and shit, or even slurs when used demonstratively (to the satisfaction of the community), whereas others wouldn't. And both would be valid choices and users could manage it by subbing and unsubbing as they see fit.

Another cultural standard around casual or non-sexual nudity - e.g. would you need to tag a streaker on a footy pitch as NSFW or require their nipples to be blurred - could be permitted to develop away from the American prudishness, again some communities allowing it and some not.

I have to open the app every day to delete 5-6 posts, but that's about it. I figure with time my account will be empty.
