Lemmy is going to look more appealing as time goes on.
What'd I miss?

MODERATORS
Nothing yet but to speculate Steve Huffman’s rolemodel Elon Musk has been whinging about subreddits banning links to Twitter. They might replace some moderators again and covertly reverse the community ban.
I'm amazed there were still moderators left that were willing to do protest actions after last time.

That'd be a crazy move. He must know there is an entire wave of new social media emerging thats just poised to punish such a stupid move.
As if Reddit cares about long term stability at all? The line must go up at all costs.
Oh, and fuck Spez.

That is exactly what I expect to happen as well

How much are the Reddit owners banning any mention of Lemmy, though?
A lot! They’re clamping down hard on any posts that mention the platform even the moderators sadly.
I kind of always knew believing reddit was some kind of pure platform basically required being a stereotypical Californian but its declined so heavily in the last 10 years.
Its the number of clearly stupid replies you get now that really irritates me, from people who've very clearly not read or understood what you've said. It used to be a place where the average user seemed to be a PHD looking for cat pictures
I wrote that and now I'm imagining being required to take an exam to join a subreddit. Stupid idea but it would probably restore that sort of tone.
^This... and my ax (am I doing it "right"?) It's human nature and we'll do it again here unless we remain vigilant against the trend.
Maybe we need a euphemism... like... uhh.... "the shadow platform" or something? No wait... "the 'emmy"? "the lemony place"?
Hmm, "the lemony place" is close, but I'd really prefer "the lemony party".
Or maybe just "lemon party" to simplify it a bit more.
I'll go google that just to make sure it's not taken by something else.
The enemy of my enemy is on Lemmy
The Lenemys! You're a genius, IninewCrow!

Lemon-stealing whores.
Whenever I see this referenced it makes me think of an old man I worked for named Olan. Olan was an asshole. He was a jerk. He was just a miserable old man with no redeeming qualities.
We did odd jobs for him because he was in a wheelchair and couldn't do them anymore. One time my brother was cleaning out a disgusting, moldy, vile stench filled chest freezer for him while he screeched at my brother for gagging, and chucking random shit at him for being "a whiny little faggot"
But the thing that makes me remember him when I hear "lemon stealing whore" is this day a friend visited him while we were there, and the friend asked about some guy who used to work for him
Friend: whatever happened to Bill?
Olan: fired him. He stole my battery terminal cleaners*
Friend: he did?
Olan: yeah. Died, too. Stung by some bees.
Friend: that's a shame
Olan: he's cleaning in batteries in hell now
*Terminal cleaners, if you don't know, are at most a 10 dollar item
ppl can just say the non lemmy instances, im making a private one called hardlywork.ing, just reccomend any url that isnt lemmy, I think theres moistcatsweat, any like that. They'll figure out its lemmy once they're on it
Also lemmy isnt lemmy, its technically just one way into the threadiverse with more coming, piefed and kbin may be fine to mention

shadow town sounds nice to me :)
Really? Where? Like, can you give a specific example?
I fucking love this meme lolol
Meanwhile let's hype up Mbin & PieFed as well They deserve some love too (oh & XMPP as well)
As a side-note, we still need to rename Communities to SubLemmy or SubFeddit & make it "l/COMMUNITY-NAME"
Lol no we don't, Lemmy shouldn't be just a Reddit clone
