@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip my reddit account was shadowbanned. The tor link doesn’t do shit if the corporate overlords want to know your identity so they can send the US ICE-gestapo after you for wrong-think.
Fuck Reddit. Long live the fediverse.
Viva la Lemmy!

I just wish the people in the subs I mod and post in would post some too. I feel like I am just posting for myself in those subs. Hell I am not a mod in c/trailrunning and it has like 170 members and no one post. I was the last person that posted. I know people are looking because someone is upvoting the things I post but no replies, no conversation. I don’t know what to do to drive engagement.

I didn’t know that community existed! Not sure what to post there yet but I’ll join
REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Wait, reddit doesn’t allow tor anymore? I remember posting a drug-related TIFU using tor and a throwaway acc, but that was years ago
Iceman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
At least we can all say that we are famous on the internet.
bigredcar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Even on big websites like Wikipedia there are only a few hundred major editors that write most of the content and they all know each other. On Youtube you tend to get to know everyone in your filter bubble as well.
FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I get around that problem by simply never looking at your usernames
MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I just suck at remembering names. I’ve started remembering people by their Profile picture more than their username
FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Its too bad you cant sniff butts on the internet like in real life
Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 year ago
same and i block the ml and the holier than thou accounts.
REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 year ago
I honestly have no clue why are some instances so hated here, but I’m going to assume it’s politics.
muusemuuse@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Meh, wake me when it has an i2p presence
Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As for posting stuff on the internet, I don’t care anymore. I just try to not post stupid shit, and be decent to other people.
dirtycrow@programming.dev 1 year ago
I’ve had the misfortune of posting on Craigslist Forums and then having at least 1-2 people shit on me or call me a moron
Kirk@startrek.website 1 year ago
I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 1 year ago
I mean, sure, if we’re pretending you can’t abandon accounts at will and make new ones elsewhere in the lemmy…verse.
The whole idea of “who” is kinda pointless.
Maybe I am the real Vanilla Puddinfudge. Maybe I’m not. What would it mean either way?
REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 year ago
I’m a polish girl who tried to make friends on lemmy but that didn’t work out too well
MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Witness me!!!
WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Hi Mr. Shankles, nice to see you again.
MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 year ago
The /s makes it sound rude, like it’s not nice to see me lol
Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lemmy is also not overrun by AI bots and sock puppets.
dirtycrow@programming.dev 1 year ago
For now!
throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Everyone here is my alt, except you.
There are only two real users on Lemmy, its just you and me. Get pranked!

biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
This
Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Inkstainthebat@pawb.social 1 year ago
Wouldn’t sock puppeting be much easier on Lemmy? Or does Lemmy implement a minimum account age system like Reddit does?
Dempf@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
It would be pretty easily though, if anyone starts to think that it’s important.
IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is what they want you to believe!

Oh, you pickled moon dumpling.

answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 year ago
your privacy is worse on lemmy. anyone can access all your comment and post upvotes and downvotes. your pms are open for server admins to read. both examples need to be fixed imo
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Btw, your PMs being available to admins is the same on like every socmed. If you have to use lemmy as your secure method of communication (you shouldn’t), at least use PGP, but lemmy isn’t meant for that, use XMPP or Matrix or even Signal I guess.
rowdyrockets@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Your privacy is the same on either. But now, anyone can gain that information, not just Reddit’s investors and partners.
It’s what you write on these platforms that effects your privacy.
Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 1 year ago
So can you on reddit.
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
People DM each other on Lemmy?
tauren@lemm.ee 1 year ago
TIL that feature exists
s08nlql9@lemm.ee 1 year ago
So better to host your own instance?
kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Doesn’t change the voting situation. Since your votes need to be seen by other instances, Lemmy needs a mechanism for federating votes. Since instances are untrusted, there needs to be some way of preventing manipulation. Thus, AFAIK, Lemmy simply shares your votes across instances, letting each one tally them up. As a side effect, any server admin of an instance you can interact with can also get a list of all your votes.

Man So much this.
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
The place is a Village rather than a City.
Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
It’s the same with every small forum tbh
Klear@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Typical Magnus comment.

optimistic@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s OK
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
It’s also not only about upvotes here.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
I really don’t like that
Little8Lost@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think should touch some grass because i may recognise more people here than in the village i am living in for like 2 jears

Its impossible to delete anything on the fediverse
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think the internet at large should be viewed this way. It’s almost impossible to completely get rid of anything that isn’t under your direct and immediate control - i.e. your own personal email server. I don’t assume that Lemmy/Fediverse is any different.
That said, with the effort to be ”not Reddit” or just another social media platform ready to be potentially abused, focus should be placed on privacy and user ownership and their ability to control their data on the platform.
Little8Lost@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Its easier to edit than to delete. So if you want something gone you should edit it first
PanArab@lemm.ee 1 year ago
There’s a chance your edits won’t propagate to all instances though.
v_krishna@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
It’s impossible to delete anything on the internet. You can’t control everybody’s backups.
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 year ago
What happens on the internet stays on the internet. As in “it doesn’t go away”
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Now there are my nudes and other things somewhere out there. Just great…
FuckFascism@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think I have your nudes lying around here somewhere…gimme a minute
Zenith@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It feels like Reddit felt twenty years ago
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Reddit 20 years ago was mostly just Reddit staff
Zenith@lemm.ee 1 year ago
And me…
slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
By 2007, reddit definitely felt pretty big to me. But like an overgrown small town maybe.
LordGimp@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Ita kinda neat imo. It’s like being in a small town and seeing a celebrity whenever satansmaggotycumfart joins the conversation.
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I see all of the same names in like every thread here haha. I remember y’all too. I know you are all freaks
oppy1984@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Look at it this way, in a small town people are more likely to be kind and offer higher quality information when asked. The same things can be said about lemmy.
Gismonda@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Agreed…Lemmy slightly reminds me of the early days of Internet forums/chatrooms/etc.
Yes, I’m old.
oppy1984@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yep. Also I’m old too, I remember when AIM was going to kill IRC.
LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 1 year ago
[deleted]oppy1984@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m familiar with the prisoners dilemma but not the stag hunt aspect, I’ll have to take your word for it until I have time to read up on that.
MusicSoulEdu@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Definitely found that to be the case so far! Posted the same question to reddit and it was crickets there.
oppy1984@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The reddit A.I. doesn’t know how to respond.
megane_kun@lemm.ee 1 year ago
For some of the really prolific posters, yes. But there are also lurkers like me.
I doubt anyone can recognize me when I comment or encounter a comment I made.
rothaine@lemm.ee 1 year ago
What happened to FlyingSquid
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have a feeling everyone knows who I am, and those who don’t haven’t blocked me yet.
it’s fine. I’m not going to apologize for my opinions because that’s somehow worse than defending unpopular opinions.
I’d rather be the person who owns their hill and dies for it than someone who runs from hill to hill because the group thinks it sucks.
PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I know I am normally recognizable, but currently if someone doesn’t have display names or avatars visible they probably won’t know who I am on this account since it’s my old username, from Reddit.
