To me, getting banned from Reddit (without being a dick) it’s a medal of honor. Guess I’ll have to try harder…
Not too hard anymore. Say Luigi or upvote Luigi a day you’re getting the ban hammer.
Done that… https://programming.dev/post/26558225
One Luigi a day, keeps the Spez away.
I went out with a bang. Coincidentally, implying that such things should happen to the Muskrat and pedophile dictator too.
The latter getting a golden pager from Netty the Butcher was my highlight snark. And telling off the idiots at LSC was a good bit of satisfaction for myself.
I miss being able to interact with certain smaller subreddits for particular interests, but that’s about it.
I genuinely don’t know if there’d be enough of a following to see an active Blakes 7 group over here. That’s my biggest loss tbh.
today / last night he confidentley stated that the X cyberattack was “traced” to Ukraine.
he’s just another head of the hydra, the hydra being the transnational crime syndicate that masquerades as the US, Russian, and other governments.
Feels like they promote lemmy the same way microsoft promotes linux
Basically yes. The alternatives passively become better simply because of the mainstream option becoming worse over time. I think it’s still going too slowly in general but I’m not complaining, better slow than not at all.
Linux isn’t just getting better in comparison because Windows got worse.
Linux is so much better now than just 10 years ago, it’s absolutely incredible.Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I’m not sure that’ll continue once it’s the size of Reddit. We’ll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there’s pros and cons.
Once you hit a certain size you become a tempting target for bots, spammers and trolls. Managing that is going to be a challenge.
i think the most realistic way will be to examine unusual patterns in the IP addresses used for the accounts.
Not quite… It’s easiest to game on Windows still. I’d love to move to Linux, though. But, alas, this year is not your year still. Crucify me if you wish, but this is the truth. So say a simple gamer that knows more than you do if you’re peddling Linux as the best option in early 2025.
That depends on what games you play. The steamdeck proves that it’s possible to game on Linux.

What have you been trying to run? I am honestly baffled at the linux gaming possibilities, even outside of Steam. I mean even Star Citizen “runs” on linux. (lol)
I’ve switched to main linux last week, for now with a windows dualboot for games that have issues. Honestly a good option if you just don’t like windows or where it’s heading. Depending on what you play going 100% linux isn’t viable though (but also if you’re not playing any multiplayer games it is).
Rebooting is so fast these days that switching OS isn’t a big problem, and I’m surprised just how well proton is working. I’ve somehow had more problems with the EA launcher trying to play nfs unbound on windows than on linux (it just worked with no issues, on windows it wouldn’t launch if I don’t close the ea launcher first).
Gonna? My fellow user of Linux, it’s already happening.
What was the post, though?
Went to find the removed post. The comments are not locked, lol. So everyone is discussing Reddit censorship and how they are upvoting it after it was removed.
Anyway, someone in the comments said this: “Musk doing a Hitler salute with a target on his head. Text “Make Nazis dead again” Very nice sticker”
Anyone know? Super curious.
Funny enough. I just joined like 10 minutes ago. As someone whose been on reddit since 2008! I’ve finally had enough when my 15 year old account started getting permabanned just for understanding why people like Luigi exist. And getting banned all over because of one comment. Then I saw another post this morning talking about alternatives to reddit and how someone else started getting banned for just about the same reasons. Then I and came across this platform. And it seems very promising at first glance. I’m m very hopeful it can make its way. Reminds me of the older days of early Internet.
I’ve been here for 12d now and feddit hasn’t lost it’s charm. That feeling of how the internet was before the big companies is so refreshing.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m officially onboard with this platform. Still trying to figure out how it all works. But it’s great
It can make its way. I’ve been here for 2 years, and it’s like a more civil and chill version of reddit.
With a lot more genuine interaction and less of the same fucking haha-funny comments in every thread.
I’m pretty sure OP posted the wrong image.
Me?
nobody knows what that thread was. Nice post
Having not been using this place as regularly for the last couple of weeks, it definitely looks like there’s more upvotes on posts now in general compared to when I started up here about two months ago. Even just before this latest Reddit fuck up, it looks a lot to me like there’s been a steady influx lately. Like suddenly noticing that the grass has got longer.
Welcome back!
Haha thanks! I’ve been lurking a fair amount. Just a little more distracted currently.
When I made my Lemmy account (the day reddit put a paywall on the API) most posts didn’t even have comments (sorting by hot/popular). And it would be common to run out of new posts after a bit of scrolling. Now it looks about the same level of activity as reddit 10-something years ago.
I just came over from Reddit. I stepped back after the API debacle but didn’t switch to Lemmy until this week when they threatened me for upvoting something “violent” (honestly, no idea what it could have been).
Anyway, I want to agree with your sentiment. Remember Reddit before they started messing with the upvotes? Top posts would have 1k-2k upvotes and outstanding insanely popular posts would break like 7k.
On Lemmy, I scan the comments and I easily can see real people talking. I usually have to scan a long time on Reddit to find real people and not bots recycling comments. It makes me wonder how many real humans are commenting over there.
Glad there’s humans here.
It feels good not seeing repeated comments, everyones actually reading before saying stuff
Oh yeah, I’ve only been on Lemmy a few months but I’ve noticed it. I was one baby face emoji (is that just a Voyager thing?) in a sea of old accounts, but recently I’ve been seeing more and more of those baby emojis
I think it is just a Voyager thing, on Thunder I see a pink name & cake if a user joined today
Which reddit app is this in the screenshot?
I was using Boost for reddit but it stopped working :/
I’m using Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. The Boost for Reddit app requires several patches to keep working though, which makes it inaccessible for most people.
I was using the last version of Boost for reddit, but it completely stopped working a few days ago. Can you link me a guide to do the patches?
Boost is why I’m here too :(
They have a Lemmy client but I haven’t been able to get it to work reliably for me. Which client are you using for lemmy?
Voyager is the best imo.
I tried using Voyager but it wouldn’t let me sign in
There is a log in button that is very difficult to notice on the opening page of Voyager. It’s easy to accidentally press “Create a new account” on that screen instead of the login button everybody is looking for.
Try again and you’ll be able to sign in. You just have not been noticing the button for that :)
Oh no there goes the neighbourhood!
Just kidding, welcome refugees!
Why was OP banned?
Great introduction to Lemmy, might as well teach people we’re no better than reddit
Fucking disgusting internet janitors
Thats really just .world. Other instances are better imo.
is there a video on youtube explaining how lemmy works? I’ve heard of instances before and I’m sure you could just explain it in a comment but it would be nice to just see a video going over the UI and where reddit equivalents for stuff are
What are better instances? I’m on .world now and so far haven’t had issues, but it’d be good to know better options
I’m on .ee and its pretty nice. They do federate with hexbear and lemmygrad, which could be a problem. lemmy.zip and lemmy.ca are both nice instances as well.
Is it possible to join an instance but filter out specific federated posts? Like I would like to join an instance like that but filter out hexbear… a little too psychotic for my taste.
Yes, you can give them an instance block in the settings.
ah can I not log into my .world account on .ee?
Why was OP banned?
Underage user.
Welcome to Lemmy.World lol
I got a warning for upvoting too much violent content. I know it’s bullshit. I contributed regarding economics but nothing violent.
Done with Reddit.
Never got my wrist slapped. But enforcing votes is beyond the pale.
Dipped my toes into lemmy during the last exodus (2023?) but I’m done posting to reddit forever now.
I can’t wait for digg to finally come out, I hope it becomes basically a better, private, version of reddit, but you know, good. Lemmy is good too for now but I’m not exactly a huge fan of the UI, and not enough people are moving over yet. Again, probably cuz the UI is a little hard to figure out the first time.
Delete account wipe your posts and replace with links to lemmy stuff
Use the add on Nuke Reddit History. They banned a few of my old accounts after I used it. They hate it.
Not the whole site but I got banned from World News a month or so ago for making a Luigi related Mario Brothers joke.
Such a joke. I am not even remotely a small time Reddit user either, been there for like 15 years and probably have over a million Karma across 3-4 accounts.
Yep, that’s why I’m here now. If I ever use my Reddit account I just refuse to upvote anything at all
Same here, but the bots don’t even tell you the “wrongthink” post that you upvoted so you have no idea how to avoid upvotes that will flag your account with a warning/ban. It’s fucking psychotic on reddit now. Like watching the Titanic sink at this point.
digg could not be coming back at a better time. I honestly hope that it’s basically just reddit but with a better UI and not as many shitty rules. Going public ruined that fucking website and I always knew it the moment they started charging an obscene amount of money to use their API
The irony is that reddit ripped off digg’s original UI nearly 95% identically. I hope they keep a similar format because the Digg redesign sucked and everyone hopped over to reddit, then reddit made that god-awful new UI that I can’t even bother to use at all (you can opt out of the ‘new design’ in your user preferences/settings) but at this point, reddit is practically useless anymore. They’ll probably be censoring any links to digg once it comes back up as people tell other users that there’s a reddit alternative.
All are welcome and check this out: Cisgender
Truely amazingCisgendered Nazis should be punched in the face! To be fair, all Nazis deserve a violent rebuttal. See? Not banned.
watch out! you just killed 5 cis people 🥺

Just use the web version people. Progressive web apps for the win. Didn’t even look to an app
