Yoooo Nintendo should sue. Reddit is publicly traded.
That's a great point. Even if it's used as a verb, it could mean throwing a banana peel behind you while driving.
Everyone named Luigi should sue for discrimination
It's anti-Italian discrimination
Nintendo doesn’t want to raise the specter of association with Luigi Mangione. Heck, I bet they'd advocate for this, and would rename Mario's brother if they could.
Bring back Green Mario
You are drastically underestimating how much Nintendo loves to sue.
Also, Nintendo's late CEO Satoru Iwata famously took a massive (50%) pay cut during a tough time for Nintendo, instead of laying off employees. So...
hes the DLC.
Don’t upvote or you’ll get banned.

Sad Yoshi 😢
My comment got removed because I told someone to eat farts.
Maybe they weren’t hungry?
Also works as aromatherapy.
We have that here, it's called "crazy admins" but has a cure called
distroinstance hopping.Not really. Lemmy.world is alright as long as you have two functioning braincells to read community guidelines and understand you can't just say whatever you want in a large fairly moderated public space.
You can get away with being an anarchist edgelord in a small instance but on Lemmy.world calls to violence are a no-no. When you get as large and stable as .world you need stricter rules to cover ass legally which is understandable.
The people who complain about being instance banned usually leave out key information that makes them look bad or just plain lie about why they were banned ,cwhich you can check if you go into modlogs.
Besides that, theres always going to be power mod fuckery any internet fourm you go. At least you can at least post it to c/yepoweryrippingbastard to vent.
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.
You should be fine ^^
Even better just don’t go on Reddit.
Upvote and get banned and leave.
Meh, I'm not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit's fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an "app" and probably don't even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren't going anywhere. And frankly, that's fine by me.
Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we're never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let's hope half of them actually stick around.
I know that I just came from Reddit today, so... At least 1 person joined because of this fuckery lol
Just joined today because of this!
One more reporting in.
And yet another.
4 new users. Less than half of what I’d hope for.
Hey, that's like a ~.1% increase of userbase, assuming 45k!
That's 4 more than I expected.
Reporting in, couple subs I’ll miss but fuck that shit.
There’s always the potential for them to grow as a community here. I’ve found a few smaller communities I liked that were slow at first but have been gradually gaining traction.
Yup, got me here today.
💙 Welcome :)

Welcome. Let us know if you have questions. I recommend to you and JandroDelSol that you play around with the Hot, Scaled, New and Top 6 Hours and 12 Hours to see more action and posts.
Thanks for the tip!
Welcome aboard, I joined in the last big exodus. It's not the same here but it's good and getting better.
Honestly, Lemmy reminds me more of old Reddit. Back when /r/AskReddit had daily “my house is on fire, should I evacuate or just stay here at my computer” types of posts.
nowadays askreddit is mostly political, or an incel, or a entertainment type question that people cant handle the answers.
Welcome! I'll leave this comment explaining Lemmy that I've previously left for new users:
Welcome to Lemmy! I'm glad you joined. There are tons of tutorials out there for how to use the platform, but if it helps, here's my advice:
I use the Android app Sync For Lemmy. Reminds me a lot of rif is fun from before Reddit shut down 3rd party API access about a year ago.
Lemmy.World is the name of the biggest instance on Lemmy. Think of it as a discord channel with different sub-channels except those are called communities here (and instead of r/ for subreddits we have c/ for communities).
There are still trolls here. What's nice about Lemmy is that you can block individual trolls, communities of trolls, or even instances of trolls (if you deem them so). Conversely, if you get banned from any of the above, you can make a new account on any other instance (like dbzer0 or shitjustworks) and still have access to the content from those people/places. The same is true if certain communities/instances change their policies on things like Luigi, which happened on Lemmy.World recently. I switched over to dbzer0 to avoid that censorship and to also see stuff about pirating - that which is banned on Lemmy.World.
Lastly, we can see posts/comments from other people on the Fediverse, like from Mastodon (Twitter alternative) and others.
Hope you enjoy your stay here! Lemmy is primarily tech- and politics-focused rn, but a lot of people draw parallels to Reddit's early days, which is good!
A small number of reddit users leaving translates to a large number of new users here, comparatively speaking.
Both me and my partner joined today. Problem is a lot of people don't know about Lemmy, I'd never heard of it before today but someone commented about it on reddit in response to reddit's latest nonsense.
I'll likely stick around reddit for a bit and do my part to comment about making the switch. I can't blame people for not joining something they know nothing about.
i remember it a year ago, but dropped it because i was still on reddit, it took me getting banned on several accts to come looking for this site.
Welcome!!! 🧡
Welcome!
![email protected] often features has Reddit posts which mention Lemmy or problems with Reddit. Great place to find and share opportunities to spread the word.
I'm stuck on there because /r/shorthand is inimitable (for now). ![email protected], but it'll have to be bootstrapped.
I'm sorry, never heard about shorthand systems.
What's that?
And why can't we have a comparable community here? (Like the one you linked and it's about screen didn't really give me any info on what it's about ;-))
Shorthand is a method of writing faster and/or more compactly. Speeds over 200 words per minute are attested, or fitting an entire printed page on a sticky note.
It's an extremely niche interest, so the main thing preventing a comparable community here is enough active users who are interested. I've wanted to do a series of posts teaching one of the systems, but I've not hand the chance.
I've actually been interested in shorthand for years. If you want to migrate over some of the better old content from reddit, I'll sub and see what happens
You know what, why not? I'll give it a go. Let's see what happens.
That sounds pretty cool actually! :-D
Is it hard to learn?
And could you maybe give me some entry level links or so?
I think so!
The difficulty depends on several things, but the easiest systems can be picked up enough to use in a few days to weeks.
I'll try to put together an intro post this weekend. How would you rank these features?
As I'm rocking a reMarkable, my priorities would be ranked:
Everything else, I'm not exactly decided on, like number of users isn't really important to me, because I'm mostly taking notes for myself.
Phonetics also aren't really important, because I'm mostly focused on technical stuff.
Study time? Well, it is what it is. And when it's worth it, I'll put in the time. But maybe it would be nice to have something quickly rewarding to start?
But this probably shouldn't be orientated about my needs.
Anything you provide about this interesting topic, especially when you include practical usage, is absolutely appreciated!
there are a couple of niche communities there, that wont be easily replicated here if at all.
That's the biggest problem with everyone doing the corporate socials' enshittification cycles instead of POSSE and/or independent services. Cool communities just fracture and die.
I've tried to get people to see this for decades. Maybe it'll finally enter the zeitgeist this go around.
Not even with the other news of them warning people for upvoting content?
It's what got me over here finally.
and before that, it was the massive purge that was going on, and i believe its still ongoinging especially if they upped thier filtering of anything they deemed "bannable", the people that lost the most were the ones using hundreds or thousands of accts to earn income for themselves. my hunch is reddit knows this, thats why they went after those bots/of accts, reddit wasnt getting a cut, and wonder why they do very little against propaganda trolls. i also use adblockers so reddit doesnt get money anyways.
I started the switch over after how grossed out I was with Reddit advertising betting on the elections, and the overwhelming number of bots and bad actors trying to influence people constantly in most of the subreddits. Since then, I’ve been promoting Lemmy, BlueSky, and the Fediverse as a whole on Reddit.
I believe we are on the cusp of another great migration. The more enshitified things continue to get on Reddit, the more real people will leave for spaces like here. At some point it could just be mostly bots talking to other bots on Reddit.
mostly right wing propaganda, drowning out the actual news. right wing prop, includes just positng all the doge, and trumps gaffes. and whats not really reporting on the other sht.
I got tired of the censorship, ads, and manipulation aimed at creating addiction to reddit, so I'm now leaving.
Also, obviously we want more users, but do we want that type of user? Remember what Reddit was before digg, before a few 'endless summers' that happen every year
I'm also a Reddit refugee. :-) fuck spez
Welcome welcome! :)
Thank you friend :)
Happy cake day!
Not sure. I am part of the new wave 👋so we will see.
Your username is cool as hell.
You never know. When Digg did a redesign basically all the Digg users fled to Reddit. You never know what is going to be the last straw. And since we're dealing with network effects, there can be this feedback mechanism where people leaving leads to more people leaving. It's hard to predict when something's going to tip over.
IMO, it's just a matter of time. Reddit wasn't profitable and now that they're public their investors are going to demand growth and profit. That means enshittifying the site, and one of those changes is going to be too much. It could go on for years, but I'd be shocked if Reddit is still around in 10 years.
Welcome the six new users. We love you
While Reddit might not have a single screw-up of that scale again, that is probably better for long-term Lemmy growth. I think we've forgotten just how ill-equipped the small handful of Lemmy instances were to cope with the 2023 influx. We have many more stable instances now, and the onboarding process is smoother.
im an OG user, originally created for use of friendsafari on pokemon(i still have the og acct, that is flagged). i remember when they were there banning "illegal subs" like shoplifting and such, i know they moved to a international site(the users). they dint start aggressively banning til trumps first turn, like around 2018, now everything after that your comment is on thin ice every time.
Yeah, we all know nothing in 2025 will ever be as consequential as what happened in 2023.
I just joined Lemmy after lurking on the Fediverse subreddit for the past few weeks. I'm always open to joining new platforms, and I'm a quick learner. I don't think my wife is willing to leave Reddit for Lemmy though... But I do suspect we'll see some more people joining after this and possibly after they start locking content behind a paywall too.
💚 Welcome
I'm glad I found this, Canadian owned!
reddit is this: and I don't think enough Canadians know.
this is 2014. 50million raised. led by Sam Altman
https://blog.samaltman.com/trump 2016.
"Trump is right about some big things." "Trump is right about the problem" "I take some risk by writing this" "this is not an ordinary election"
in a way reddit helped facilitate and validate Donald Trump as a mainstream candidate helping him gain popularity and credibility with /r/the_donald
Marc Andressan - "Marc Andreessen says half of his time goes to helping Trump at Mar-a-Lago" 2024
Snoop Dogg - “I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.” 2024
Donald Trump Was Peter Thiel’s Most Successful Investment. “Thiel is one of the conservative mega donors that has the ability to shore up candidates that might need additional support. His spending is targeted, and his ability to spend millions can be impactful,” Reddit was targeted, to be impactful.
Ron Conway - says "Crypto Economy" Is the Next Multitrillion Dollar Opportunity - 2021
yesterday, - "President Donald J. Trump Establishes the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile"
Jared Leto - “We want to see your America in all its imperfect glory.”
now reddit is valued at $6 billion, off the data & memes of unsuspecting Canadians supporting their own threat to their sovereignty.
made sense alot of us/military propaganda was directed at the political and news subs. soon came putins trolls after with the help the above investors.
I did not expect Snoop Dogg and Tencent.
Took me a min to figure out this place but yeah been a long time redditor. I got an email warning me I upvoted something they didn't like so I joined up here.
Welcome!
I'm curious, what was hard to figure out? I assume it was something federation-related?
I never really had a problem figuring things out (though I'm sure there are still things I could learn). The only difficulty was that when I was subscribing to communities, it was sometimes hard to know which was the "main" or "most popular" community. For instance, there are half a dozen fairly big gaming communities spread across various lemmy instances. Some get more posts, some get more comments. Reddit also had a few different gaming-related communities, but it was easier to figure out which were the bigger ones and which ones had a slightly different focus.
That’s why I’m here at least.
all you need to do is criticize musk and trump.
This is Winnie the Pooh-level censorship, Jesus...
Fr
reddit is just following facebook and YOUTUBES lead. reddit is just basically a reposting site for X and truth social.
Not really, the community mod gets to say yes or no to the post. As long as Luigi Mangione coverage doesn't incite violence, it too can be greenlit.
God forbid we incite violence against the people systematically killing us...
You're not, though, the Republican lawmakers are all still alive and well.
Nintendo is going to love this xD
That moment when I'd be behind a Nintendo suit lol
"I love Nintendo. Mario and [redacted] are my favorite characters ever!"
User has been banned for inciting violence
gary bowser, the guy that goe sued by nintendo.
The enshittification of Reddit started when they hid new features behind API in order to push their shitty official app. Every next move just made the slippery slope steeper.
Mamma mia!
Reddit is a group of internet users with the vision of free speech, but directed by shareholder and policy makers.
So glad I ditched Reddit.
Why did I do read that like it was lyrics from Bohemian Rhapsody?
Same, haven't missed it since.
The facade of societal benefit with the hidden and actual motivation of profit, such is the whole world.
the speech tending towards right wing content in order to drive traffic, works for facebook and youtube.
That’s a polite way to say delusion
The fact that Huffman is scared of being Luigi'd makes me happy.
he does look like an alien? what does have to be scared about, he can just ressurect from a pod.
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 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.
AFTER censoring luigi related news, and promoting trump, is a death knell, and reddit thought it was clever to "ban" a bunch of subs after musk complained about whitepeople twitter, they only backed off when the mods said they wernt inactive.
Yup. Just deleted my ~7 year old account. Fuck trump and fuck spez
I just got a permanent ban on my 9 y o account for saying Fuck Trump, I shit you not. Now I'm here.😁
The worst thing about the API changes wasn’t even that most people didn’t care or weren’t on board. It was that they were actively against the people protesting. In real life when this happens I always give some leeway because everyone has their own problems and they might be a bit annoyed by the protest action (which is part of the protest). But on Reddit?? People lost their fucking minds because they couldn’t have access to some subreddits for like 24h.
Sooooo many people failed to realize that even if you didn’t use third party apps that it would still affect you even if indirectly. They didn’t even have to do anything other than literally do nothing/something other that browsing reddit for a day. And they couldn’t. They vilified and downvoted the protesters and took the side of the billionaire trying to take advantage of everyone ruining Reddit in the process
That fiasco in pretty meaningless in todays world events, but fuck, I still find it a great insight into how much we can suck as a species
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.
this massive purge last month, is definitely revealing how dead reddit is without people using multiple accounts to comment in, wether to evade or to troll or to even use the site normally. for example after they had a big purge in december, we noticed how little activity there was in political subs , like there was very little engagement. after it the trolls came back everything went back to being "trump did this or that". making more than 1 accounts just risks you can ban, because thier filters are too stupid to discern if yuor ban evading or not.
I guess we'll have to call him Louie G now.
Yep I bailed. Might post one last thing that will definitely get me banned but I saw the “rule” and immediately came to open a new account here.. fuck Reddit.
They really expanded their banning too. My ten year old account got banned for telling a guy that was defending the third Nazi salute to "go to hell". Was banned and then had the appeal just confirm the ban.
New account basically uses your Internet footprint to ban any accounts you make. I could get around it but it just is not fucking worth it at that point.
If they want to keep Nazis on their platform and ban the people that tell them to go to hell Reddit will be like 4chan quickly.
Hell, I feel every website is becoming 4chan these days. Twitter and Facebook are cesspools. Fuck reddit.
The internet is being disabled as an information source or communication medium.
The west fears an 'arab spring' reaction.
I just hope the lack of net neutrality won't end up destroying the fediverse, too.
Or the gestapo
It's what made Elon buy Twitter.
I got banned today cuz some dude DMd me that he would hang himself, I send him a reddit care message and blocked him, I got banned for three days (they cited the care message) for harrassment, I appealed and was like bro reddit admin, they literally wrote me they would hang themselves how is me using reddit care harrassment and then they permanently banned me. Actually insane. My account had like 60k karma and was 7 years old. Reddit can go to hell.
Lmao banning the first person to actually use that for its intended purpose. Why even have it.
I mean Im like 99% sure the dude wrote it ironically but how is it my job to figure that out and how would the reddit admins know. Tbf he wrote he would hang himself in german so they probably didnt even bother google translating it and gave me the three day ban cuz admin had a bad day or whatever. What rlly pisses me off is that me appealing got me perma banned. WTF is up with that.
I have an account with like 130k karma in only a year with no post or comment karma farming, just pure gains, and I got banned for a stupid reason from a sub, so I tried ban evading and got every account suspended for a week from any kind of engagement. Username very relevant, I fucking hate reddit man. Gotta support literally any site that isn't reddit to get some kind of competition
It’s better here anyways.
Same. Redditor for years. Autobanned without appeal. Need more independent platforms like this outside the US.
Yeah it just sucks that the social media bubbles get smaller and smaller, I dont rlly wanna create my own bubble with ppl I agree with, I wanna argue with ppl I disagree with (or at least see what they are saying). Reddit was good while it lasted but damn it went down hill and I am sure it will get worse as well.
Try Usenet then.
https://www.eternal-september.org/
I heard that reporting feature of people "self-harm" is abused alot so reddit now bans people for "Allegedely abusing that button", i rarely get DMed, because often block people at the same time im reporting them to avoid them contacting me.
Yeah I get that but like I did not abuse the feature. I rarely got DMd as well the guy was just rlly mad at me cuz I told him that equivocating left and right extremism (in germany) is stupid. Then the guy DMd me to tell me he would find me to punch me in the face and when I wasnt rlly impressed he said something about hanging himself. I didnt even explicitly insult him LOL. Given, I wasnt rlly nice either.
i had a 11+year old acct, whom i stopped using like 7 years ago, it was ban, because one of my throwaways had a temp ban, so reddit decided to look at any of your accts that are connected by device or ip, that was involved in ban evasion, and just ban all of them regardless, they usually only ban future accounts, but they banned all acct because a temp ban triggered it. the oldest acct is the one that dint get banned, for some reason.
from what ive gathered they look at your IP address, your device (if you use the reddit app it gives them even more info on your device, your browser fingerprint seems to be important, they also use captcha v3, which is more advanced than V2, which records your site activities, cookies, posting and commenting behavior, of course ban evasion too. Also they compare your "bot activity" to other bot activity and just ban you.
yep I got banned on a sub for something flagrant and tried to ban evade with another account and now every account I have is under a week suspension. Supporting literally anything that isn't reddit rn because of how much their moderation sucks
i assume you try to comment in the sub again with new accts,
yeah lesson learned don't reply with the new accounts until the ban is over on the old one, well all those accounts have perma bans on that sub now anyway so I'll just have to make another one with a new email after the suspensions are over
Anywhere the rich gets to have their privilege, inevitably shits the pool.
It is my hope to see a 2nd Constitution, designed to engineer excessive wealth out of existence. It has become clear that too much money drives people insane.
Tipping point for me. Leaving Reddit for good.
I just got a 3 day ban. Here I am allowed to say that CEO assassination is basically self defense, right?
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
That sent me here as well. What a great way for them to advertise for a decentralized information exchange!
Made my first Lemmy account after this bullshit! Took a split second to figure out, but Lemmy seems super rad so far!
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.
So glad to be here. Reddit is compromised.
its not the servers or the domain name that makes reddit valuable, its us the people. we are what bring value to their platform. may freedom of speech live on ✊
No for-real, just came from Reddit as well, and so far this app is pretty amazing.
Welcome to Lemmy. All I can say. 1 more convert has come into the fold.
Awe thank your LordCrom much appreciated. I am still learning and seeing how to maneuver through this app. Trying to whisper to a couple of my friends that there’s an app better than Reddit, and to join us.
Which app do you like? There are many
I have the voyager on iOS, which I assume is the only provider for this Lemmy. When this phone dies out I will be switching to android and I’ll just have to shop around. So far I am very very impressed with the UI and the application itself.
I'm also using Voyager on android. There are other apps, like Sync if you had used it for reddit. There are dozens of apps and instances you can use, so if there's ever anything you don't like, you can probably find an alternative.
Is Sync only for android? I only see voyager as the only app for iOS/iPhone users. And if I was to switch to android is it only through apk or are there multiple applications that you can use for Lemme on google play store?
I'm not an iOS user, but I checked the app store website and I can see several apps. Voyager, mlem, Arctic, Thunder, Avelon, Echo to name a few.
Not sure what you mean by 'only apk', every android app is an apk. That's what the play store distributes too. But yes, there are several options on Google Play as well. Voyager, Sync, Connect, Boost, Summit, Eternity, Thunder, Jerboa, Raccoon, etc.
I personally have tried more than half of those, and every one has some design aspects that I dislike, but I settled on Voyager for now. Still hoping that the Rif developer ports their old reddit app
Awe okay that’s interesting. Thank you for the list.
Lemmy finally becomes active, reddit migration imminent
Oh yea, this is gonna push people over the edge finally.
Glad to be part of the migration wave.👋🏻
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'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!
is Luigi our tiananmen square June 4 1989?
An establishment threatening event that definitely never happened? Absolutely.
/s, viva green Mario!
great reference that actually might be what ends up happening here
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!
I would. But first I have to figure out the controls
If it helps, we wrote up a guide here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users
The guide was made for lemmy.ca, but it should be helpful for any instance
yeah the way replies to comments are displayed is a little funny, and it's not very intuitive trying to find new posts, I set it to filter by new and it'll have a 7 month old post at the top, and a 3 day old post right under it and shit
If it helps at all, I use Voyager which purposefully feels similar to the Apollo app for Reddit.
I'm here using Boost because Reddit finally figured out how to block the patched version.
is that a website? an app? I tried searching it but I don't know what I'm looking for
Could you screenshot which posts you are seeing? There should be a little button like this to add the image to the comment:
Your instance has a few alternate UIs available, and you can log in to any of them with your account if you don't like the default interface:
https://v.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
https://a.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
We wrote up this guide on alternate UIs for our instance, which should also apply to the ones that your instance is running: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/alternative-uis
oh okay interesting I'll check it out
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.
quick, spin up some onlyfans bots
OF bots are currently concentrating using money(buying specific proxies ip services, new devices, multiple anti-detection browsers on evading reddits bans currently.
Aww but I like lurking
Probably because posting doesn't work often, or I'd be posting more than once weekly
I eagerly await the Lugia memes to come.
Edit: , I’m expecting automod evasion.
Best use of AI I've seen to date
Happy Anniversary
And with that- I have deleted my Reddit account that I have had for 13 years lol. Fuuuuck that. I don't even care if that gets reversed after Nintendo gets involved. This is ridiculous behavior.
Oh no! Look at all the unique unfiltered user content I'm missing out on by leaving reddit for Lemmy!
Just commenting to say I deleted Reddit yesterday in favor of Lemmy! Happy to be here 🥰 #freeluigi
Quite literally signed up for lemmy just now cause of this. So many of the sites that helped make the internet boring are committing self harm, twitter, fb, and now reddit - the old "decentralization" arguments were kind of boring to me but now I ache for the old internet and gosh darn it if the billionaires are making the best case against themselves.
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!
The one thing conservatives where right about: Reddit is a censored hellhole.
Free Luigi
Meanwhile conspiracy and conservative subreddits still exist...
This happened to me for posting "Italian Plumbers Unite!" I got a PERMANENT BAN! I appealed and they denied it.
What are they afraid of?
lol
Honestly think this is newsworthy and worth talking about here as well, if not moreso...

Just the fact that someone gets noticed and potentially talked to if they just upvote, and not say anything, seems like something that's never been done before, and is a bit shocking to see.
ThiscommentislicensedunderCCBY-NC-SA4.0im on another site where people use evasion methods to use mutltiple accounts, said upvotes are monitored by reddit and removed/ban the user quickly in some case like if you have multiple accts before doing the same thing and not commenting or whatever before. i think they just increased thier filtering of upvotes, its so sensitive that new accts wether your a real user or someone using of/advertising, that if you upvote too many times anyways, not just violence, it can get you shadowbanned.
This was said by a Reddit admin ...
So it does seem to specifically be about voting, and not trying to avoid bans.
ThiscommentislicensedunderCCBY-NC-SA4.0Damn, Now we have to say green mario.
It's official folks, Reddit admins have actually lost their fucking minds.
I used to have a profile image of Luigi the saint. Some reddit rat reported me and mods forcibly took profile picture down. Sheesh
Fuck Reddit. Censoring pieces of fascist conformist shit.
I got banned for posting the name Luigi and an animated gif.
What a sad sick joke Reddit has become.
Is waluigi banned too or do I need to find another place to publish my slashfics?
Me reading posts on Lemmy about how messed up Reddit is:
Reddit and Lemmy (almost typed Reddy and Lemmit!) are their own versions of awful. Me and the mods over at the politics community have beef because they're QUICK to squash posts from us calling people out for being shitty anybody-but-Harris 'lefties' and abject alt-right trolls, but they leave that shit up WAY too long despite it being clearly against the rules. But at least I can call 'em out on their bullshit. Reddit, they'll ban you then ghost you. That's the world over there. Pick your poison.
The difference is that you're on the fediverse. Their influence can only go so far. Same with your influence. That's the beauty. Nobody rules them all.
Green Mario Mangione is a pillar of our society.
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.
They're really digging their own grave with this shit. Green mario got a lot of work ahead of him.
I literally just deleted my reddit account. I will still go to reddit, but I will do so without logging in. Fuck them.
The powers that be at Reddit are snowflaking HARD.
I hope the next guy who Luigi's a CEO legally changes his/her name to John Smith or Jane Johnson or something extremely common.
Most of the time, if I say “Luigi” I’m actually talking about the character. Mario’s brother. The lil green plumber. Not the real life guy.
I’m not sure what’s gonna happen to discussion about Nintendo games but if first names themselves can be banned from being said (even if they take on a new meaning due to slang) there’s something seriously wrong with the platform.
Reddit really hates Mario's brother. What did Luigi do to your wife, spez? Mammamia that's an abomination
I went straight to a perma commenting on what was going to happen with those inmates being moved despite the judge blocking it. It's not a huge loss since that is the second account perma'd in the last 30 days. And I've been using revanced Reddit so no ads. But they've become pretty insane about what is "hate, or violence"
mario enjoyers in shambles
Exactly this! I am so glad I got introduced to lemme, which funny enough was recommended through Reddit. I am curious to how the mods are responding. “Hey you guys go to Lemmy which is an alternative to Reddit and way better.”
Wouldn't be surprised if they start (or have started) hiding comments mentioning lemmy. I've recommended it a few times over there and never gotten any responses to those comments.
Yup. I got banned from a sub for using the verb "to Luigi" (someone)
The fact that "luigi'd" as a verb has become pretty common slang very quickly, it's not crazy to associate it with violence.
Now we get to the actual matter. Several years ago saying "Someone should shoot that CEO" (which would be the same statement as something like "Hoping that CEO gets luigi'd") would not have gotten you banned. Wishing death upon someone is not the same as actual threats of violence.
That site is unusable now, I got banned for saying the word guillotine, didn’t even use it in any context. I’ve tried going back and always get banned for ban evasion. It’s a garbage community now, the worst of the worst stayed there
from what ive heard commenting as a new USER is very hard to do now, it only takes your comments to be removed(depending on the way you are commenting), or getting reported by an oversensitive user or a filter to get you banned. i had to literally self-censor some words so i wouldnt get reported.
yep, I knew going public would make reddit worse but it just has really been going down the shitter the last few years
At this point, there is an outstanding opportunity to just gather up a bunch of people and have long discussions about random Luigi's Mansion lore.
or talk about LUGIA.
Yeah I got a lifetime ban for “where’s Luigi?”
the game was actually called "Mario is Missing!"
So sad to see something that gave me souch die like this. Unchecked capitalism ruins all.
I need a lemmy based replacement for MarchAgainstNazis since that mod team has been seriously compromised.
Can't sound like you criticize reddit itself or admin actions in any way, benign things being silently removed/hidden. can't say anything against actual nazi's now.
Reddit sucks because of the moderation, yet the current zeitgeist continues to be that this extra moderation is some wondrous, beautiful thing that improves everything it touches, and new platforms need more of it. Fuck that & fuck Reddit.
Yep this is why I'm here 🤭
Still got my Reddit acct but yeah. I set up a Lemmy acct when I saw this. For insurance when the rest of Reddit fully enshitifies.
What's wild to me is apparently an endless supply of people are willing to work for free for Reddit as a moderator
I wonder how Nintendo is feeling about their IP being moderated like that.
Doesn’t matter the mod nazis band me for ever and ever. Fuck that place.
I still use Reddit probably too much, but I still plan on upvoting anything Luigi related lol. If that gets my account banned then official goodbyes to reddit.
I really can’t wait to see their next earnings call. They were anticipating users would be returning and their numbers would be up by the next one.
What about Luigi, the 1959 Fiat 500 from the movie Cars? Reddit is fucked up.
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.
Just woke up to my account being suspended for suspicious activity after getting a warning.
As well as suggesting someone who wears a swastika should be punched.
This is what brought me here. Reddit is out, Luigi is IN
Luigi's Mansion 1 is one of my all time favourite games on Gamecube. Probably a controversial opinion but I feel like the sequels don't come anywhere near as close as the original.
Back on topic, what if someone in an Italian subreddit mentions another person named Luigi? There are many famous and infamous people with the first name.
Free Luigi. Free Palestine.
I got banned for talking about Luigi too much.
Everyone just refer to his brother Mario
political and news addiction, not possible. the only way is if they get banned, or shadowbanned site wide. i find my self sometimes endlessly scrolling for it, then it got annoying because my comments were getting misconstrued and deleted. i started filtering multiple subs over this.
This is why alternatives are important.
The nintendo sub must have a hard time right now
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.
This is not the year of Luigi...
(L)Fun fact, (U)auto mod can't detect hidden(I) messages (G)very well. Even poorly(I) hidden ones.
I think it’s already flagged on Lemmy too.
Our mod tools aren't that sophisticated. All mod actions are public.
I'm free to Luigi all day long then?
as long as he's green and has a higher jump than the red guy
Also skids a bit longer. That took some getting used to
My Reddit account got permabanned because I replied to someone saying that scientists should open up their brain to study it. This cartoon suggestion was apparently a horrific violent threat.
Reddit is just gonna be bots by the end of the year
the filters took it literally, i assume you meant figuratively. I was banned in some of my accts for similar misconstrued statements.
Considering the appeal was rejected I have no choice but to take it as the Reddit admins also taking it literally (even though appeals are likely automated as well)
Cowardssss
Ended up getting banned on reddit a few weeks ago for showing sympathy for Luigi
was banned early last month, because r/technology was filled with trump news and i was reporting obvious misinformation, the site said you cant report other people like that, and i was banned. depending on the sub, there is a very vague way of reporting people.
wtf that seems such an absurd reason for a ban
Copped a permaban on reddit when I started taking about the Luigivolution, lamenting the current nightmare because some numpty couldn't properly set his windage, insisting that Nazi lives don't matter, and finally changing my nym to DutifullyPunchingNazis. I guess somewhere in there was the final straw.
MAMMA MIA!!
Mmmm, making some experiences...
And I'm over wondering why none of these links are in the archive.
Chuck Mangione's brother Luigi?
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..
To the surprise of absolutely noone
I've had several bans for saying things like "where's Luigi?"
Ehhhh! I justa wanna post a little bit here, eh?
Green hat Ghostbuster house
@fossilesque
Luckily only one person in the world is named Luigi.
That seems unusual. It could be an error in Reddit’s auto-moderation system or an unintended keyword association. If you think it's a mistake, you can report it to Reddit support or the moderators of the subreddit where it happened.
TBF it doesn't automatically block or ban content, it just prompts moderation to review the post before it goes public. I approve of this, even though I don't promote reddit for any use.
