i left reddit for good today with their obvious attempt at controlling the narrative like the rest of big social media. long live the lemmy federation
This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I remember seeing something a while back on r/coolguides about alternatives for various sites, including Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit. Today, I saw the writing on the wall and decided it was time.
The worst isn’t just the Luigi thing, it’s that in the future, they will most likely expand it to include any topic that the administration disapproves of.
my sentiment exactly. this is just the start of it. once they became a publicly traded company, it was no longer a social media for the people. may free speech live on ✊
welcome! it ain’t perfect here, but at least it’s decentralized and harder to manipulate in favor of the oligarchs.
Butt fuck pastries for elfs!!!
See, that sentence may not make sense, but we have free speech here, so I can say it as much as I want!
BUTT FUCK PASTRIES FOR ELFS!!!
Ooh ooh I wanna try one…
Billionaires should be shot in the street for fun like carnival games. 3 shots for a dollar!
Also, I just anally fucked a pastry for elf’s. Creampied a Danish.
Yessss.
Yeah, another db0 user has posted it in a chat and I snagged. Amazing job on it. I was floored

The watermark in the bottom right corner says KLING AI 1.6
Yeah, this is one of the few (in relation to the vast amount of slop) where it’s just awesome and I’m happy the tech behind it exists. It’s a great combination of several people’s work (original photo, edited photo, the makers of the AI itself and the person who put it all together), and it’s easily one of the most flawless animated AI things I’ve seen. No uncanny valley like there usually is. And the coolness of Luigi portrayed like that just by itself. Just superb on so many levels!

Do you have it on any other mirror or site like Imgur that doesn’t block VPNs?
Unfortunately I don’t know the original creator.

Kill one rich guy - complete and utter censorship.
Be a rich guy who is a twice impeached convicted felon presidential traitor making decisions resulting in casualties over the thousands - whoah, now, wouldn’t want their feelings to be hurt!
State of the world in a nutshell.
Welcome, hope you will enjoy your stay as much as I did. Water is just fine over here
There’s still lots of moderation on Lemmy, but thankfully it’s all public. The lemmy.world modlog can be found here https://lemmy.world/modlog.
I havent seen a lot happen if a mod goes off the deep end though. If a system can be broken in a way, its inevitable it will be. This place wil be captured by the same special interests reddit has, I’d bet money on it. But, I’ll enjoy it till then.
Oh, I mean, power tripping moderators has always been a thing, even in my phpBB forum days when I was a teenager. I’m sure some of us older than I will have similar stories about it happening on certain BBSes. But the user base and therefore impact of that moderation going to shit was much more limited in most cases.
It is amazing how much fear Luigi has put into the establishment.
