Yoooo Nintendo should sue. Reddit is publicly traded.
News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
That's a great point. Even if it's used as a verb, it could mean throwing a banana peel behind you while driving.
Everyone named Luigi should sue for discrimination
Nintendo doesn’t want to raise the specter of association with Luigi Mangione. Heck, I bet they'd advocate for this, and would rename Mario's brother if they could.
Don’t upvote or you’ll get banned.
Nahh deff upvote and then never log back in..
Welcome to the fedi verse, we got our own neo lib acolyte mods on Lemmy.world and you will get some bans from them.
Rest of fedi is a decently safe space for proper discourse.
And remember folks, deny the parasite profit and engagement
Luigi did nothing wrong
Time to welcome another wave of Redditors to Lemmy :)
Meh, I'm not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit's fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an "app" and probably don't even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren't going anywhere. And frankly, that's fine by me.
Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we're never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let's hope half of them actually stick around.
I know that I just came from Reddit today, so... At least 1 person joined because of this fuckery lol
Just joined today because of this!
One more reporting in.
And yet another.
4 new users. Less than half of what I’d hope for.
Hey, that's like a ~.1% increase of userbase, assuming 45k!
A small number of reddit users leaving translates to a large number of new users here, comparatively speaking.
I just joined Lemmy after lurking on the Fediverse subreddit for the past few weeks. I'm always open to joining new platforms, and I'm a quick learner. I don't think my wife is willing to leave Reddit for Lemmy though... But I do suspect we'll see some more people joining after this and possibly after they start locking content behind a paywall too.
I'm glad I found this, Canadian owned!
reddit is this: and I don't think enough Canadians know.
this is 2014. 50million raised. led by Sam Altman
https://blog.samaltman.com/trump 2016.
"Trump is right about some big things." "Trump is right about the problem" "I take some risk by writing this" "this is not an ordinary election"
in a way reddit helped facilitate and validate Donald Trump as a mainstream candidate helping him gain popularity and credibility with /r/the_donald
Marc Andressan - "Marc Andreessen says half of his time goes to helping Trump at Mar-a-Lago" 2024
Snoop Dogg - “I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.” 2024
Donald Trump Was Peter Thiel’s Most Successful Investment. “Thiel is one of the conservative mega donors that has the ability to shore up candidates that might need additional support. His spending is targeted, and his ability to spend millions can be impactful,” Reddit was targeted, to be impactful.
Ron Conway - says "Crypto Economy" Is the Next Multitrillion Dollar Opportunity - 2021
yesterday, - "President Donald J. Trump Establishes the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile"
Jared Leto - “We want to see your America in all its imperfect glory.”
now reddit is valued at $6 billion, off the data & memes of unsuspecting Canadians supporting their own threat to their sovereignty.
"I love Nintendo. Mario and [redacted] are my favorite characters ever!"
User has been banned for inciting violence
Nintendo is going to love this xD
That moment when I'd be behind a Nintendo suit lol
Yep I bailed. Might post one last thing that will definitely get me banned but I saw the “rule” and immediately came to open a new account here.. fuck Reddit.
They really expanded their banning too. My ten year old account got banned for telling a guy that was defending the third Nazi salute to "go to hell". Was banned and then had the appeal just confirm the ban.
New account basically uses your Internet footprint to ban any accounts you make. I could get around it but it just is not fucking worth it at that point.
If they want to keep Nazis on their platform and ban the people that tell them to go to hell Reddit will be like 4chan quickly.
Hell, I feel every website is becoming 4chan these days. Twitter and Facebook are cesspools. Fuck reddit.
The internet is being disabled as an information source or communication medium.
The west fears an 'arab spring' reaction.
Mamma mia!
Reddit is a group of internet users with the vision of free speech, but directed by shareholder and policy makers.
So glad I ditched Reddit.
The enshittification of Reddit started when they hid new features behind API in order to push their shitty official app. Every next move just made the slippery slope steeper.
I guess we'll have to call him Louie G now.
Short for Ludovici Giovanni.
I knew Reddit was dying after they went public and immediately purged all the mods who didn't fall in line. It was disheartening to see so many users continue to shill for such decisions. Maybe it was a lot of bots, who knows. But watching this site explode in popularity after these new changes is encouraging. Everyone here should do their part to inform people of this place and continue to stay connected. Good luck everyone!
Oh no! Look at all the unique unfiltered user content I'm missing out on by leaving reddit for Lemmy!
One thing I just noticed about this place is that posts get a lot of engagement, but there aren't a ton of posts. That means there are a lot of lurkers, but not enough posters.
So if you just came here from reddit, start posting!
I eagerly await the Lugia memes to come.
Edit: , I’m expecting automod evasion.
And with that- I have deleted my Reddit account that I have had for 13 years lol. Fuuuuck that. I don't even care if that gets reversed after Nintendo gets involved. This is ridiculous behavior.
I used to have a profile image of Luigi the saint. Some reddit rat reported me and mods forcibly took profile picture down. Sheesh
Honestly think this is newsworthy and worth talking about here as well, if not moreso...
Just the fact that someone gets noticed and potentially talked to if they just upvote, and not say anything, seems like something that's never been done before, and is a bit shocking to see.
~This~ ~comment~ ~is~ ~licensed~ ~under~ ~CC~ ~BY-NC-SA~ ~4.0~
What a sad sick joke Reddit has become.
I'm proud of the active community we've built at https://lemmy.world/c/luigimangione It's a great space to post any Luigi content, that may or may not have a proper place in the larger communities on Lemmy. It's great that former Redditors can come to Lemmy and see a niche community like they are accustomed to having, without fearing censorship like they did on Reddit.
Fuck Reddit. Long live Luigi!
Green Mario Mangione is a pillar of our society.
Is waluigi banned too or do I need to find another place to publish my slashfics?
