What’s wild to me is apparently an endless supply of people are willing to work for free for Reddit as a moderator
Chuck Mangione’s brother Luigi?

So, when your account is banned on Reddit, does that remove all your posts? Because that would be cool. I left Reddit back in mid 2023 and came to Lemmy. I tried to delete all my old posts there, but they wouldn’t let me. I tried editing them and they reverted back to their original form. When I deleted them, they appeared to be deleted while I was logged in, but if I logged into another account the posts were still there. If getting a ban will get them deleted finally, then that would be well worth paying that cesspool a visit for a while.
Is there a particular subreddit that is spiteful towards the word Luigi? I’m going to try saying Loo-E-G and see what happens. Perhaps the bots won’t recognize the phonic resemblance.
Yeah, I got a notice and I don’t even know what for as I have never spoken of Luigi. My best guess is that I responded to a poster talking about the inevitability of the USA rolling into Canada and taking everything and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. I wrote back that Trump isn’t getting anything and that I will die to protect my country. Boom, warning email from Reddit. Fuck them.
Just woke up to my account being suspended for suspicious activity after getting a warning.
Reddit really hates Mario’s brother. What did Luigi do to your wife, spez? Mammamia that’s an abomination
This is the final straw for me. Today, after years of accelerating decline, I deleted my Reddit account and made my Lemmee lurking official. My only regret is abandoning the the good people at Narwhal who always made Reddit better, but never had a chance to save it from its corporate-aspiring overlords. Good-bye!
I just got a 3 day ban. Here I am allowed to say that CEO assassination is basically self defense, right?
Most of the time, if I say “Luigi” I’m actually talking about the character. Mario’s brother. The lil green plumber. Not the real life guy.
I’m not sure what’s gonna happen to discussion about Nintendo games but if first names themselves can be banned from being said (even if they take on a new meaning due to slang) there’s something seriously wrong with the platform.
It’s official folks, Reddit admins have actually lost their fucking minds.
That sent me here as well. What a great way for them to advertise for a decentralized information exchange!
Free Luigi
Just signed up here. I had my account flagged for upvoting on Reddit. Needless to say I was POed but so far I’m liking it here
Made a lemmy account a while back and forgot about it. This shit made me switch instantly. Will keep upvoting Luigi posts until fuckers ban me.
Welcome friend. Lemmy is a nice place.
No, it is an open place where CCP shills and Nazis and good people can all say what they want, filter what they don’t, and communicate without shitty corporate overlords or trash mods having all the power.
If you’re going to be negative about people welcoming newcomers, you don’t have to comment. I thought I left all that behind on reddit.
Just being honest. It isn’t always a nice place, it is a fairly open and honest place. Not shitting on it, just not shining it. It is miles above reddit and the like.
Putting “CCP shills” and Nazis together like that is a hell of a choice.
A bit redundant, I know, but it made a point.
i came after part of the reddit february ban wave.
How did you find Lemmy, out of curiosity? Seems like there aren’t a lot of Reddit recs for it yet.
i heard it about over the API thing like 2 years ago, then forgot it. got sitewide ban 99% of my accts meant for different subreddits, and came here, after i remember lemmy. im on LEMMY and on another forum(meant for people who evaded bans and got sitewide banned, and i noticed some got banned for no reason as well.
Not that person, but I found out about lemmy from reddit. There are people talking about it when this kind of stuff comes up.
Honestly googled Reddit alternatives and the first search was from Reddit discussing Lemmy. Took a peek and now I’m here. I like Lemmy, just communities are a hit or miss due to inactivity.
Agreed about the inactivity but hopefully more users make the transition as reddit continues to filter people out
I actually heard about it a while back after the whole API block but never made the transition over till now
