Except they’ve already attempted this against much bigger fries, and lost. The precedence goes the other way.

If you think Lemmy is even on their radar when reddit still hosts much bigger communities having all the same conversations, you’re crazy. I would bet they don’t even know we exist yet.

The troll responsible for this is from another instance, and has been demanding that all other big instances do this. Maybe take it up with them?

I was convinced OP had made a typo.

If the admin are in cahoots with the crypto mining douchebag, then no part of the site is safe.

Sorry, he’s out of the shower now.

You’re missing Voyager and Lemmios.

Not with sandals.

Until the next big social media fuck up, which neither Spez nor Musk can stop themselves from making.

You’re just here early, and the platform still needs work. It hasn’t even hit 1.0 yet.

This post is a year old. Lemmy is having a tough time right now, just know that this happened a year ago.

Lol, poor OP posting a timely and relevant piece of news only to have it downvoted to hell a year later because of a lemmy bug.

Sorry, muad dibber, if you’re still here.

Don’t worry, you won’t be able to afford this anyway.

If I had to guess based on years on reddit, Mastersmacks is on an unstable instance that’s causing him to double post. The other commenters aren’t bots, just unoriginal pranksters hazing Mastersmacks’ double post by copying and pasting.

It’s a dumb thing redditors would do all the time when someone accidentally double posted.

I think you’re far too willing to believe that every consequence of his actions is somehow intended and desired, like he’s playing 4D chess to acquire magic Attention Coins that are somehow going to translate into wealth and power later. The truth is that Elon is an impulsive idiot easily swayed by other idiots on the right, and this negative attention is only going to make it harder for him to ever make back the money he invested in Twitter, which in turn will tank Tesla.

Dang, how did you manage to nail the right font for X in a comment like that?

So when does Kevin Costner get to sue James Cameron for his lazy copy of Dances With Wolves?

I think we’re going to be seeing new waves of Reddit users on a fairly regular basis. Steve Huffman likes to roll these things out slowly in drips and drops, and it is very unlikely that this move alone will make reddit significantly more profitable to run. If he wants to do an IPO soon then he’s going to need to make some more choices that really annoy the users (banning porn seems like an obvious one, even though he’s said something like he’s fighting to keep porn on reddit). They’re going to keep cracking down in dumb and obvious ways on things and redditors will abandon ship just as soon as something they care about gets in some way messed with.

Don’t forget that redditors have left reddit in large chunks dozens of times in the past.

Text based social media will never work. I don’t want to hear your thoughts, I just want to see you dance.

But you can block whatever communities you want. I’ve blocked a lot of different communities that have content I don’t like, and now they’re not in my feed.

You’re forgetting misfires can happen soon after ejaculation (and probably other things).
