You’re now banned.

This is a worry and problem I’ve never had and don’t really understand. One of the joys of social media (including the fediverse) is that you’re judged by what you say and who you are, not what you look like. As a lifelong fat slob and general ugly person, I appreciate that.

I welcome anyone bright enough to chat intelligently, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, religion, disability, age, etc.

Whoa. That totally Keanues me. I had thought of the lack of infinite scrolling as a bug, a feature I’d hoped was in development, but this srsly rejiggers my ears and everything in between.

I already spend too much time online, so … I’m with @dessalines@lemmy.ml — no infinite scrolling, please.

“You are viewing this from Firefox on Windows.”

I should worry that this info is exposed?

I couldn’t stay on Discord even long enough to be treated like shit. It has such an unintuitive and clumsy interface, at least for an old fart like me.

There’s a Firefox add-on that does this, but only for Reddit, of course. Click the line and you’re on to the next top-level comment.

One of the few things I miss about Reddit (and of course, it’s not even Reddit).

I’ve been here a month after 15 years at the other place, and it’s an improvement.

Sorry you got clusterbombed, though. You asked a fair question, something I wondered too when I first got here.

Bad bot. OP is a newbie asking an honest question, and for that they get booted by a bot?

It would make sense to notify a human mod when a post is drowning in downvotes like this one, but it’s a mistake to trust the bot to hand out suspensions.

We don’t do karma here, one of Lemmy’s major improvements over Reddit.

To improve your Lemmy home page, let’s fight climate change and end corporations’ ownership of Congress and America.

Climate change is largely America’s fault, so Kerry’s statement seems asinine to me, and quickly erases the already low levels of respect I’ve had for him.

Love the pep talk, and the sentiment behind it.

I loved Reddit, spent at least an hour a day there and often much more, but I’m loving the Lemmy too. In many ways it’s better, and one of those ways is that it’s so much smaller — a much higher ratio of thought vs tired memes and dumb jokes and slick burns.

That’s the punchline that makes me chuckle when I read how “little impact” the protests and migration have had.

Here’s a little secret: Reddit mods can’t know for sure which accounts are bots. They can suspect, but they’re no easy, reliable proof. Reddit admins, though, know exactly which accounts are bots — they just prefer keeping that info to themselves.

For me, that triggers a great big “Hmmmm”.
