So glad to be here. Reddit is compromised.
fr. I just wish there were more communities that were popular other than piracy. I guess the site just needs more users for that to happen.
Start subscribing to communities across instances - it will drastically improve your feed quality and the overall Fediverse at the same time.
In the Fediverse, note that when you hit “All or New” you’re only seeing the instances that people on your server have already subscribed to at a previous point in time. By subscribing to new communities on separate instances, you’re opening a gateway for other users on the server to start discovering it as well.
I eagerly await the Lugia memes to come.
Edit:
, I’m expecting automod evasion.Happy Anniversary
It’s better to use old reddit in references.

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!
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.

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.
Don’t upvote or you’ll get banned.
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

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)

Wow didn’t know you could do this.
I’ve had several bans for saying things like “where’s Luigi?”
This is the final straw for me. Today, after years of accelerating decline, I deleted my Reddit account and made my Lemmee lurking official. My only regret is abandoning the the good people at Narwhal who always made Reddit better, but never had a chance to save it from its corporate-aspiring overlords. Good-bye!
Don’t worry, the way things are going, they will probably find their way here sooner or later.
I wish you meant the Narwhal team, but I fear you are right that the likes of Spez et al. will find a way to corrupt whatever public forum is large enough get their attention.
Chuck Mangione’s brother Luigi?
LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI
So I had an account under a similar name to this one, but it got perma-banned a few months back. Not even Luigi related. Remember when that Nazi incel Nick Fuentes got doxxed? I made a comment that basically said “he should be happy now that women know where he lives so they can come share a cocktail with him”, with a gif of a Molotov cocktail. I thought it was pretty funny. Banned for glorifying/promoting violence. Against a Nazi.
More recently, my other account got perma-banned from r/insanepeoplefacebook for “hate speech” because of this comment:
So yeah. Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.
It’s a funny meme, rooted in reality for some communities, due to their conservatism or beliefs.
You can’t even be a centrist on Reddit anymore and point stuff out about left and right policies and attitudes. You can be a full on Nazi or full on Communist, though. It’s quite tragic.
That sent me here as well. What a great way for them to advertise for a decentralized information exchange!
Reddit is also banning and warning people for UPVOTING “violent” comments (or what they now consider violent and somehow right wing subs don’t get the same censorship applied; or we’d see them bitch about it). It’s now a dystopia.
Imagine how much harder the lives are for the mods of /r/nintendo
I guess we’ll have to call him Louie G now.
Short for Ludovici Giovanni.
Reddit really hates Mario’s brother. What did Luigi do to your wife, spez? Mammamia that’s an abomination
