It really depends on the subreddits you use. I was on reddit for almost 10 years and while I saw others complaining about power-trippers I never experienced it myself and that’s after I’ve used several bigger subreddits.
A DOLLS that once flew across the grasslands of Aelio, but now fediposts!
Plays a lot of PSO2 after finding out Resurgent ARKS stopped running the Mining Rig Defense Urgent Quest. Also plays other games when they feel like it.

As fun as it is to dunk on reddit and its moderation, this is definitely exaggerated lol
While you were using the subreddits you were subscribed to, the general default subreddits were always seeing activity like this.
But over time reddit has been attracting a far more general audience of regular people from other social media platforms.
There is Funkwhale that you can use for self-publishing music. You can also upload your music library privately to listen to remotely.
How is that API still up after this has happened?
Thank you for doing that :D
To give some more information on this, reddit can “shadowban” users, which will cause all of the user’s submissions and comments following the shadowban to be automatically removed. Moderators of subreddits can see and can “Approve” these removed comments on subreddits they moderate, but only reddit admins can remove the shadowban from the user if they appeal. This shadowban system is often used on spammers so that they waste time spamming into the ether without realising it, however the shadowban would affect all of their comments and submissions, not ones with a specific link in them.
Reddit does also maintain a list of domains commonly used for spam purposes. I believe ibb.co is an example of a domain on that list that instantly gets any comment or submission it is in removed.
When a comment is removed, it is replaced with “[removed]” text, however this can only be seen by other users if there are any replies to the comment. Otherwise the comment disappears from view except to the user themselves and the subreddit’s moderators.
@Crass_Spektakel you should try testing this in places other than the subreddit you have seen this in. Subreddit moderators can apply their own link filters and automatically remove comments and submissions without notifying the user.
Dark Reader is just too heavy for what it does. I use https://github.com/m-khvoinitsky/dark-background-light-text-extension and it does all that I need.
Yeah I would imagine there are people that do. I don’t think there’s anything wrong posting it here too though - it’s not like we have finite space.
Speaking of obscurity, nowadays when errors occur it seems like programs and websites are too afraid to show you the details of the error outside of a generic, sometimes witty “Something happened” or “We dropped the magnifying glass”. I know that’s been a thing for a long time but it is frustraiting that users seem to be being protected from detailed errors more and more.
There are people that like to keep up with minor version releases like this.
Firefox has its own syncing system via a Firefox account that’ll sync your bookmarks, open tabs, history, logins, etc…
Firefox on desktop does support multiple profiles, but they are nowhere near as convenient as Chrome’s which is just a few clicks.
Yeah I am just having a look on my phone and it runs smoother than the “old new” design for me. The “classic” view it defaults to isn’t bad either.
It does not show the OP on the front page until you go into the comments or a subreddit, and for whatever reason has the comments button open a new tab which I don’t like.
With a few tweaks, I’d hapilly use it if I had to. I’d always prefer old reddit’s design though.
Do you know if they would have been able to do all of that on their own?
When the majority of the world has been using centralised platforms that don’t have the complexities federated platforms do, it’s understandable that there will be people that get confused over why there are several “Lemmy” servers, or why they can’t sign into a Lemmy server when they signed up on another, or why when they try to find a Lemmy community on their server they can’t see it, but they can in Google.
Somehow email providers have avoided this problem, I think because they are pre-installed on devices as the “Email” app.
Pros: The Fediverse would gain a significant amount of users and existing communities.
Cons: Those users would be redditors. While most I’ve seen are polite, some really love to hate others.
I recall reading that they won’t do anything as the comments are content that you willingly submitted. The most they will do is suggest you delete your account to “anonymise” them, but all that does is replace the username with “[deleted]”.
You can use a tool like Shreddit to edit and remove all of your comments in bulk. Feeding it your GDPR SAR folder will allow it to get past the 1000 comment backlog limit.
Yes for some people it is the subscription cost, or not wanting to support Blizzard, or wanting to re-experience an old version of the game as accurately as possible.
There are also those people that like hopping between realms whenever new ones are launched to get the “fresh” experience and don’t mind losing an old character when they’ve done all they’ve wanted to with it.
I do hope that more of these projects allowed you to export your character data to perhaps use on your own self-run private server. None of the ones I’ve seen allow you to do that.
Pleroma calls their equivalent of “All” the “Known Network” instead, which does a better job explaining what will show up there in my opinion.
I’m not sure what the difference between apps and clients is in this case. They are applications that you can access a Matrix server with, behaving as clients.
