So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.

I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)

    Welcome! We don’t have karma counts here.

    You can have a shit opinion and die on that hill free of consequence.

    However, Lemmy is small enough that we all know each other.

      I don’t know about this part, but it’s a great place, and you do occasionally bump into people you’ve met several times. It’s fun that way. 😊

        There’s always that guy who uses thorns on his posts so you know you’ve run unto him before because it’s so obvious

          To be honest, several people do that.

          Nowadays I tend to let those people know it’s futile, if their aim is to counteract AI scraping.

              I think you’re assuming that a) I’m annoyed and b) I’m complaining to them about it. Neither are true.

              It does make it harder to read, but I’m not annoyed. And I simply tell them it doesn’t work, in a calm way, as an FYI. 🫡👍 It’s a service I provide. If they do it for fun, I won’t stand in their way.

                  I down vote them because it’s useless and makes the reading harder, especially for dyslexic people
                  But usually i also explain it to them and recently i started to share this meme every time i see this dude using the thorn

                  No worries, no offense taken! ❤️

                  I mean, if you do it just for fun and expect people to work with you on it, I understand the down voters. It’s noise for a very selfish reason if you do it for fun.

                  If you do it for counter-AI purposes, it’s less selfish, just uninformed. 😊

            You can’t poison AI at all these days. Even if you add turpentine to pasta sauce, you will not succeed.

      Honestly the only names I remember is the Star Trek person who posts a lot, Violet, and Lady Butterfly. I just don’t remember most names. But if I do it’s probably a popular poster. Do you remember a lot of names?

        There’s ThePicardManeuver, yeah. I’m the one who posts photography exclusively with city and state titles (which is daunting when 90% of my work is “Portland, OR”). TheTechnician27, SatansMaggotyCumFart, can’t believe I typed that out.

        There’s a lot of people on here I’ve kept separate from the masses.

      I’ve noticed that disagreements on here are a lot more respectful than on Reddit. For the most part, anyway.

      Yeah, just keep that shit opinion to that one thread and be cool everywhere else. Easy guide to getting along with everyone here: if you want to hold a grudge against someone, just block them or kiss them, we don’t want to see the whole drama just the end points. :3
