    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.

    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.

    This is the 2025 version of “The revolution won’t be televised”.

    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

    Reddit is turning into an American-dominated oligarchy. That’s why I moved to Lemmy. Hi everyone!

    Left because any form of critique gets you a ban. People rather look away from problems so they can say they don’t see any.

    I barely used Reddit - good riddance, this is what spurred me to sign up here. The right wing infestation of social media is nasty.

    I accidentally upvote, so even if I undo it, I think it’s only a matter of time. Plus they didn’t even think about edited posts. It may not start off with affecting a lot of people but may grow that way. It is what is pushing me to lemmy and I hope to join you guys for good convo!

    Someone posted this and that’s honestly scary. I hope more people abandon this sinking ship of Reddit.
