    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…

    Yeah, I got a notice and I don’t even know what for as I have never spoken of Luigi. My best guess is that I responded to a poster talking about the inevitability of the USA rolling into Canada and taking everything and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. I wrote back that Trump isn’t getting anything and that I will die to protect my country. Boom, warning email from Reddit. Fuck them.

    I knew Reddit was dying after they went public and immediately purged all the mods who didn’t fall in line. It was disheartening to see so many users continue to shill for such decisions. Maybe it was a lot of bots, who knows. But watching this site explode in popularity after these new changes is encouraging. Everyone here should do their part to inform people of this place and continue to stay connected. Good luck everyone!

      so many users continue to shill for such decisions

      I think that something that a lot of people need to be reminded of here, especially ex Reddit moderators, is that the users have NEVER particularly been fans of the moderators. In fact the moderators on Reddit helped the admins bring Reddit to the point where it is now in the first place. Setting up automoderator to catch buzzwords out of context and make people’s comments disappear without notice or a trace is just as fucking dodgy as the admins flagging the word “Luigi”.

      So no, it’s not a surprise that moderators getting into trouble for not falling in line with the admins doesn’t cause a mass exodus. Because most people don’t give a fuck about the moderators and would be glad to see them gone. With the way they have been abusing automoderator over the years, it wouldn’t make much of a difference if they were replaced by an automated system anyway.

      So if you want people to come to Lemmy, stop acting like they give a shit about the moderator that treats them like dirt. Because that’ll probably have the opposite effect. I know that it did on me when all the mods were crying about the API and their modding tools. Start offering more reasons for why USERS should come here.

      I modded about 30 sub’s, mostly niche subs just to keep the spam and hate speech at a minimum. Apparently I was the “landed gentry”. Haven’t been back in almost 2 years now. Fuck spez.

        Then you were doing it right. Thank you for your service. But there were lots of bad mods passing out rando-bans left and right.

              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

      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!

        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!

        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.

        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.

            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.

    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.
