Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

No. Like I said before, I hope that your comment stays up, so reporting you would be bad for that. That said, in other communities "shill" (which insinuates the person is being paid to say what they are saying) is considered a form of "jacketing," which is internet slang for baselessly assigning someone an identity for the purpose of discrediting them, just like calling someone a "fed" when you have no evidence that they work for the government. If it is within the rules, it shouldn't be based on what they say, and that goes just as much for if I called you a "State Department shill," which I would never do even if I could because I have no doubt that you're doing this on your own time. Whether that reflects positively or negatively on you, I will leave as an open question.

I'm still very curious about my original question, by the way.

okay, then it's goodbye.
