There are a lot of features that lemmy is missing, but there’s an open source community that’s fairly active. Still learning it.
Not really an option now, is it? Anymore than the notion of “you are telling people to buy a bankrupt stock” makes any sense, but there it is.
The hilarious part to me is that I was poking at an online persona that isn’t their real identity! I mean, I learned a long time ago that a sufficiently motivated bad actor can get to doxxing anyone, so you have power by being transparent to who you actually are. Your fake avatar that isn’t connected to your actual life got punched for being a jackass? And you take this personally?
I’ve got bad actors in my dm on Reddit and Twitter asking me “Does your boss at Oracle know you are active in here?!” (Yes) or “is this your official Oracle Twitter account that you are posting this shit on?!” (No, the official Oracle accounts clearly say Oracle and this is my private account and completely in line with their social media rules).
My advice to everyone is dox yourself to gain power. Anonymous voices are easy to dismiss, real people with identities vote, shop and protest more effectively. It also reduces your ability to be a complete dick to others and that’s not a bad thing.
For the record, I don’t think most of the mods there are compromised by being bought out; it’s far easier to compromise people by getting their egos aligned to your purpose.
Chive and team put together a great primer on using Lemmy, so linking to it from here for new apes on the platform. Thanks Chives!
I suspect lawsuits for financial advice fraud given their certainty.
Is there another way to frame it without violating their rules? I could not think of one..
The offending comment…
This isn't reddit - if you see someone posting shill content or harassing users, let me know. Ban Hammer is so much more effective over here and the shills can go lick the sparkles off someone's taint versus getting a foothold here, so report bad actors. For the first little while, I'm going to err on the side of "Fuck off and die, shills" with a 90 day ban, then permaban.
Thanks for the corrected link and yes, I will be promoting Lemmy once I pass control to PP and team. I don't have time to Mod nor do I want to, but want to make sure this lands well.
There are several apps, depending on the platform. Thunder is an IOS app for Lemmy that is fairly close to Reddit.
How y'all fucking doing tonight! Welcome to Lemmy
We need multiple platforms for redundancy. Just set up theppshow@lemmy.world and suggest people subscribe to all gmerica related Lemmy communities as well as X just to listen in on spaces. But you do you.
