      I heard the hypothesis put forth that sucking time, energy and money from people is the allegory of vampire tales.

    You gotta bust out that ol’ thesaurus.

    ‘‘Consume the abundance’’

    ‘‘Ingest the waxed’’

    ‘‘Partake in the Bloated’’

    ‘‘Drink down the Hog swaggle’’

    ‘‘Caramelize the Cashhavers’’

    ‘‘Snoot up the Heavy Laiden’’

    Same rule would quite honestly improve Lemmy quite a bit.

    Not because of political reasons, but because it gets annoying opening any news post, expecting interesting discussion, and getting a bunch of versions of “eAt tHe rIcH” and guillotine comments instead.

    That’s like reddit behavior

      We are reddit though just on a different site… lot of people mainly moved because of the api change.

      Even someone believing they are “not like other redditors” is one of the most reddit stereotypes. Haha.

      They’re going to need crazy euphemisms, like on TikTok with unalived and things like that.

      I like the sound of “I hope X has a great day.”

      It’s hard to see how they can ban that. I hope the people fighting to keep the oligarchy going have a great day, and I hope the spineless Reddit executives who made this decision have a great day.

    I got a 7 day ban for mentioning that someone managed to make Musk’s AI say Musk and Trump deserve the death penalty in a thread shitting on Musk’s AI. I tried to appeal the ban asking how mentioning this was “promoting violence” and I got permabanned with no explanations. Reddit has become a fucking cesspool.

      i noticed when i repealed some of my unfairly banned acc, it was just an AI response, most of the time your repeal is automatically denied and never looked at by a actual person.

      Yup, if someone could make a bot that changes every comment I’ve ever made into promotion of violence I’d run it. Fuck them stooges.

      I posted this comment once before but it fits here so I’ll post it again:

      I got [perma] banned for telling a mod “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you.” And I don’t regret it

      Spank spank spank the rich

    Recently had a friend tell me that he couldn’t even read reddit comments anymore because of all the “SJW bs”. “I’m as centrist as they come and reddit has just gone way too far left recently”. I haven’t spoken to him since and was a little surprised by the total lack of awareness, as he’s generally a very intelligent & fun person.

    There have been problematic comments in the past, but it’s not possible to keep the peace with the current political/societal state - the mental / emotional exhaustion is just too much.

        try reporting them, you get banned instead, or your comment gets ignored. tried to call them out you get brigaded and possibly reported by them.

          My perma-ban from reddit was for saying mean things to a transphobe who declared that trans people “aren’t humans”

          And chuds want us to believe reddit is a leftist paradise.
