The new normal

Funny to think back in the day WatchPeopleDie, jailbait and fiftyfifty was all the rage. Now Nintento charachters are banned

I'll make the mandatory "Hi, I came here from Reddit" post that I'm guessing is mandatory on lemmy for threads dunking on the site? Might as well be my first post in the fediverse too to get that out of the way. Wish I had known about lemmy sooner tbh but better late than never.
Also if someone has the spare time for it, I'd love to get pointed towards whatever's commonly used for onboarding here. If there stuff I should be aware of and tools I should look into, what phone apps people use, that sorta stuff. I picked my host because I wanted something european but I'm now kinda eyeing the old layout option that world seems to have since I used to use the old layout on reddit too.
- You came at the right time. When I left during the API nightmare and removal of third party apps, Lemmy was like walking into a desert wasteland and praying it loaded up and you weren’t just standing there in the void.
  When it did load, where sand should be in the wasteland, it was beans. Slimy, canned beans as far as the eye could see.
  You’ve entered during the golden age if you ask me. I don’t even think about Reddit anymore.
- I use Voyager for Lemmy on Android (it looks like Reddit-is-Fun), but unlike Reddit, Lemmy has no API restrictions, so you can use whatever you want, to get the design/layout that works for you best.
  
  Enjoy your time here and take it easy!
- Connect for lemmy is a RIF-esque ui that I enjoy.
- WELCOME. It’s so much better here. Can’t help with onboarding but you’ll get used to it. Oh and I’d recommend you use voyager app for browsing if you don’t know already

anyone know what it was?
- According to Subreddit Drama:
  
  We really are at the point where doing what the allies (US) did in WW2 is unacceptable content huh?
  Mockery of history
  
  cool
  
  I saw someone post that! I love those stickers.
- Some people in the comments said that it was a sticker depicting a crosshair over the photo of Elon doing the Nazi salute.

Where have you been the last decade that you notice this now?

Me watching Reddit implode

not happening here though
- I haven't used Reddit for years but I get a lot more timeouts and comment removals here than I ever did over there.
  
  The modlog would beg to differ. Come on, don't be dishonest, we can all see why you got comment removals and timeouts.

  To be fair, they really ramped it up on Reddit, however I think Lemmy just depends on the community and instance. I mean, hell, 196 split up kind of over this stuff (or at least, that was the initial trigger imo).
  If you find yourself censored on World, there's quite a few other options (although usually farther left or tankie). Folks just need to host their own versions of things, although we rarely see more conservative folks bothering. Given how federation works, it's actually a wonder there isn't a Truth Social style community out there for most of us to block. >.>
  
  Remit removes all the time, but they shadow remove so you never get a notification or anything.
  
  Good?
  
  Oh, absolutely dude... People on here are absolutely the thinnest skinned I think I've ever seen on the internet, bar none. And they all seem to want to start shit over something and then act astonished and run to mods for help if they get any sort of response in kind.
  Hey, here's a thought: If you wanna talk shit to people, you probably shouldn't be shocked if you get it right back... And if you have to then go get a mod because you're now butthurt over a fight you picked? What, was your mom busy or something? 🤣😂 Cuz that's the exact energy I get from that
