It’s official folks, Reddit admins have actually lost their fucking minds.
This shit brought me back to trying to get into Lemmy. I’m sure this is the straw for others too. May reddit enjoy it’s diggification.
Yep that’s what brought me here. Reddit is gonna be just as censored as every other platform. Fuck that.
Excuse me, the terms of service says no strong language. You gotta say frick. Or do what everyone does on highly censored platforms and strt cnsring everth*ng. /s
Lmfaoooo like “unalive”. Truly just ruining ease of language for no damn reason.
Soon you can’t say fired or terminated anymore either because that sounds too violent. It’s “unhiring” now. DOGE doesn’t fire government workers. It just unhires them. /s
Lmfaoooo okay but you are correct, as absurd as it sounds😆
They lost them in about 2014.
Is there a particular subreddit that is spiteful towards the word Luigi? I’m going to try saying Loo-E-G and see what happens. Perhaps the bots won’t recognize the phonic resemblance.
Try Un-Mario
Foolish of them to make assumptions. We’re all just talking about the jazz legend, Louie-G.
I guess we’ll have to call him Louie G now.
Short for Ludovici Giovanni.
I literally just deleted my reddit account. I will still go to reddit, but I will do so without logging in. Fuck them.
Exactly, use it for what you need from it but you aintt got to feed them your shitposts.
Seed fedi with your comments!
Don’t upvote or you’ll get banned.
>Be user
>Use website’s features as designed
>Banned
sounds about reddit
Username checks out
Nahh deff upvote and then never log back in…
Welcome to the fedi verse, we got our own neo lib acolyte mods on Lemmy.world and you will get some bans from them.
Rest of fedi is a decently safe space for proper discourse.
And remember folks, deny the parasite profit and engagement
Luigi did nothing wrong
I got a comment deleted here for saying the French should send a guillemot… I mean -tine, as a gift to america, to go with their statue. I’ve said it several more times since then :P
My comment got removed because I told someone to eat farts.
We have that here, it’s called “crazy admins” but has a cure called
distroinstance hopping.Am I in a crappy instance and how do I jump?
Lemm.ee is pretty good. To jump go to ur profile and hit export then make a new account in a different instance and do import. We have been pushing for a better way to transfer accounts for a while now but that hasn’t happened (I suspect due to the devs having ulterior motives on the issue)
I also just got a warning, lol. Fuck them, I really need to come here more often :-/
Gravitated back to Reddit due to lacking content unfortunately…
“I love Nintendo. Mario and [redacted] are my favorite characters ever!”
User has been banned for inciting violence
I’m proud of the active community we’ve built at https://lemmy.world/c/luigimangione It’s a great space to post any Luigi content, that may or may not have a proper place in the larger communities on Lemmy. It’s great that former Redditors can come to Lemmy and see a niche community like they are accustomed to having, without fearing censorship like they did on Reddit.
Fuck Reddit. Long live Luigi!
Just signed up here. I had my account flagged for upvoting on Reddit. Needless to say I was POed but so far I’m liking it here
How did you find Lemmy, out of curiosity? Seems like there aren’t a lot of Reddit recs for it yet.
Welcome friend. Lemmy is a nice place.
No, it is an open place where CCP shills and Nazis and good people can all say what they want, filter what they don’t, and communicate without shitty corporate overlords or trash mods having all the power.
Putting “CCP shills” and Nazis together like that is a hell of a choice.
A bit redundant, I know, but it made a point.
If you’re going to be negative about people welcoming newcomers, you don’t have to comment. I thought I left all that behind on reddit.
Just being honest. It isn’t always a nice place, it is a fairly open and honest place. Not shitting on it, just not shining it. It is miles above reddit and the like.
mario enjoyers in shambles
One thing I just noticed about this place is that posts get a lot of engagement, but there aren’t a ton of posts. That means there are a lot of lurkers, but not enough posters.
So if you just came here from reddit, start posting!
There are lurkers but many of the active commenters are frankly just more active in voting and commenting. Lemmy has much more engagement than Reddit for commenters because it’s a small community and the way comments are default sorted. You don’t need to make a comment early to end up on the top of the thread. You just need to get about two up votes and it’ll put you at the top. If what you said is worthwhile then you’ll get a lot more after that
Edit: one of the benefits of this is it encourages high quality late comments. On Reddit those would largely get ignored, but here engagement like that is encouraged.
So, when your account is banned on Reddit, does that remove all your posts? Because that would be cool. I left Reddit back in mid 2023 and came to Lemmy. I tried to delete all my old posts there, but they wouldn’t let me. I tried editing them and they reverted back to their original form. When I deleted them, they appeared to be deleted while I was logged in, but if I logged into another account the posts were still there. If getting a ban will get them deleted finally, then that would be well worth paying that cesspool a visit for a while.
I used react.dev to change all of my posts to say “[date] As per the legal owner of this account, Reddit and associated companies no longer have permission to use the content created under this account in any way.”
I figured it sounds like something a lawyer would tell me to put. Just checked and my old posts still say that.
Though interestingly there was a silly fan theory I posted there that some shit entertainment media sites linked to and when I first changed the posts those sites were displaying that message. I’ve checked again and somehow they have the text from my post on there now. So that’s pretty weird.
Thanks. I’ll have to try that.
Fyi i think they meant redact.dev, not react.dev lol
Made my first Lemmy account after this bullshit! Took a split second to figure out, but Lemmy seems super rad so far!
It’s a familiar enough looking place, with some good discussions. But what’s super cool - at least to me - is that “Lemmy” isn’t just Lemmy. There are people here using websites running all sorts of engines. Mbin is a different reddit-like platform that cross-communicates with Lemmy. Friendica is a Facebook-like engine that can talk with Lemmy. NodeBB is a traditional forum. Mastodon, Misskey, and Akkoma are Twitter-like platforms that can show up here, too.
It’s a mesh network, with each node having different strengths and weaknesses, different UIs and UXes, and different rules and goals.
It’s both familiar, and also something totally different, both at the same time.
Welcome to the wilderness!
I think this is what confuses me, like, how? If Lemmy is like reddit and Mastadon is like Twitter how do they talk to each other. Do you follow someone on Mastadon via lemmy and then their “tweets” just show up on your front page?
So, there are different types of… the jargon term is “actors”, but you can think of them as, like, accounts. Each user has an ‘actor’ associated with it, and each ‘actor’ has an inbox. But there are also group actors, which are not individuals, but more like a system or bot account. Group actors just “boost” (reblog/re-shaere/etc.) content that is sent to them.
You can follow other actors, both on your own website, as well as on other sites. When you follow a remote account, your host site will request the remote site send all future content posted or “boosted” by that account to your host website, and then your host website will add it to your feed.
Different software allows different kinds of requests. Mastodon makes no distinction between user or group accounts, and let you follow all of them. Lemmy, though, uses group actors for its communities, and only allows users to follow groups. This means that Mastodon users can see Lemmy discussions, and contribute to them, but Lemmy users cannot follow Mastodon users or interact with their posts unless they’ve been boosted by a group actor.
Other software has other abilities. nodeBB lets group actors follow other group actors, which has the potential for mutual group synchronization. mbin has both a Reddit-like interface as well as a separate microblog feed, separating out group and user content. Hubzilla (and I think Friendica?) allows accounts to have multiple actors, letting you manage multiple ‘personas’ from a single login. And they all speak the same language, which means they can accept content from all the others.
This was such an easy to follow explanation, thank you!
This sounds super interesting - I understand a lot of what you said, but maybe not all of it.
Any recommendations for learning about this cross-platform integration?
Is it simply something like cross-posting to a different site? I like how Lemmy seems a lot more “web 1.0-2.0”’ish, but I’m left wondering what I am still missing. Thanks!
If you follow a community (or a user, if you’re using something that allows following user accounts, which Lemmy does not) on a remote website, that website will send the website you’re using a copy of all future content they post, and your website will include it in your feeds (as well as in the sites’s ‘global’ feed). It doesn’t really matter what software those other sites are running, so long as they A) use ActivityPub, B) have federation turned on, and C) have not blacklisted the website you’re using.
It’s like following a Twitter user or a Reddit subreddit from Facebook. And it highlights that that’s a thing they all could have done, if they all wanted to work together to make it happen.
They didn’t. Fedvierse developers do.
This was so helpful, thank you. Reading up on ActivityPub now. Kind of sounds similar to RSS.
I’ve already said this, but I really enjoy how much Lemmy is giving me the same feelings as using the “oldschool” web!
It’s very similar to RSS in concept, just two way!
Free Luigi
That sent me here as well. What a great way for them to advertise for a decentralized information exchange!
