Someone should tell Reddit that there is Lemmy (and mastodon, of course)

From r/BuyFromEU

By u/AlanVega_World

I was just banned by reddit for three days for saying that the US invading Greenland would a declaration of war on Europe, also affecting US citizens within the EU. There was no answer to my appeal. This made me aware that reddit isn't impartial at all and banning this and
other EU subreddits might happen if Greenland is
attacked in any way. We very badly NEED an alternative to reddit within the EU and we will need to move all this information there. Otherwise it might not be available
any more. — Screenshot from a Reddit post titled: Reddit is going to remove this and other pro EU subreddits From r/BuyFromEU By u/AlanVega_World I was just banned by reddit for three days for saying that the US invading Greenland would a declaration of war on Europe, also affecting US citizens within the EU.

@iamkonstantin Is Lemmy like a European Reddit alternative or something? I don’t know it!

@whakkee Lemmy is a fediverse server flavour (like Pleroma/Akkoma, Pixelfed etc). While Mastodon is more Twitter/Facebook-like, Lemmy is more Reddit like but posts and comments also use activitypub so they're visible on mastodon too https://join-lemmy.org

e.g. some random instances https://lemmy.world or https://europe.pub

@iamkonstantin Looks interesting, thanks! I’ll take a closer look soon, because my brain is already full with all the changes that I’m making right now. (MacBook -> Linux laptop, iPhone -> Fairphone, plus all the needed software changes that come with it)

@whakkee oh wow indeed. Sounds like fun but also A LOT of adjustments... take care of yourself too 😊 ... it's ok to stay with the baddies for a bit longer until you find a calm and orderly way to migrate.
