General
  1. Be respectful
  2. Post on topic
  3. No bigotry or hate speech
  4. Memes should not be personal attacks towards other users
  5. We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    • Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
  6. This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

A platform without ads or evil corpo ownership? Yeah, I'd scared too.

I’m fairly certain linking Lemmy, even once, yields a shadow ban.

I cant even make a new Reddit account for anything, even from a relatively new IP after moving.

I don't think so. I see people on r/fediverse linking it.

Mmm, I don't like that, as now I have no idea why I'm shadowbanned.

And by that, I don't mean "I don't know why I was banned for all my outrageous spammy comments." I literally only posted wholesome, inoffensive, thought out stuff in 2 subs: a cartoon fandom and a self hosting community.

Yeah, they've been ringing the ban hammer quite hard lately.

I love lemmy, but I still miss my niche communities.

They're super easy to start here

I was born to follow and lurk, not lead. 😮‍💨

Shadowbans are illegal in the EU. They are technically legal but require the user to be notified of it, which doesn't make it a "shadowban" anymore.

Reddit tracks things like the hardware associated with an account so you'd need a new IP and new phone/computer and email adress.

I happened to move. And in theory, Cromite's anti-fingerprinting should hide that, but it's possible I accessed it with the wrong browser some time...
