    Yep, that was one of the places. Well not /c/communism directly, more like /c/latestagecapitalism showed up on my feed, which is essentially the same thing. I responded to a post without looking at the community, saying (respectfully) that I thought a 70% tax is ridiculous for any demographic or socioeconomic status and I wondered how and why innovation happens in that kind of tax system, and I learned how many ways my family could die at their hands and how I’m the reason death and disease happen in the world. The mods removed the threats but I removed my comment to stop them from returning. I didn’t know it was the communism part 2 /c/.

    What’s worse is THEIR threats were being upvoted by the community and my respectful original comment and replies were being downvoted like crazy. It wasn’t just the commenters - the voters were complicit. I had ZERO upvotes other than my own. There isn’t a decent human over there if you’re not a communist. They want to kill you. They told me, in lots of ways.











  • I just posted this in another unrelated thread, but relevant here as well: https://wefwef.app was the key for me. It’s nearly EXACTLY like Apollo. Installed on my Home Screen and put where the Apollo icon was. (Apollo moved to a special folder to commemorate its memory.) You guys, I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t think Lemmy was going to work out for me, but with wefwef, I don’t feel like I’m missing a beat. Looking forward to Lemmy and the fediverse continuing to grow!

    • No affiliation with wefwef, just hoping other Apollo users who came from Reddit can find this because it’s honestly helped to heal the hole left by Apollo.
