But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅
I know I am normally recognizable, but currently if someone doesn’t have display names or avatars visible they probably won’t know who I am on this account since it’s my old username, from Reddit.
I get around that problem by simply never looking at your usernames
Me too, Steve, me too.
Stop freakin him out
Your username would make a good meme.
"Were cat
Now am what?"
I just suck at remembering names. I’ve started remembering people by their Profile picture more than their username
Its too bad you cant sniff butts on the internet like in real life
same and i block the ml and the holier than thou accounts.
I honestly have no clue why are some instances so hated here, but I’m going to assume it’s politics.
You are on an instance that has defederated lemmy.ml, which is why you never see their toxicity. You can type the url and visit the instance yourself, its toxic. Its the reason why your instance admin blocked them.
politics is as toxic as its on reddit unfortunately, the people who were banned there came here made thier own “instance” and just became the same mods.
Lemmy is also not overrun by AI bots and sock puppets.
Everyone here is my alt, except you.
There are only two real users on Lemmy, its just you and me. Get pranked!

This
Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!
For now!
Wouldn’t sock puppeting be much easier on Lemmy? Or does Lemmy implement a minimum account age system like Reddit does?
It would be pretty easily though, if anyone starts to think that it’s important.
This is what they want you to believe!
this…
As for posting stuff on the internet, I don’t care anymore. I just try to not post stupid shit, and be decent to other people.
I’ve had the misfortune of posting on Craigslist Forums and then having at least 1-2 people shit on me or call me a moron
I just wish the people in the subs I mod and post in would post some too. I feel like I am just posting for myself in those subs. Hell I am not a mod in c/trailrunning and it has like 170 members and no one post. I was the last person that posted. I know people are looking because someone is upvoting the things I post but no replies, no conversation. I don’t know what to do to drive engagement.
I didn’t know that community existed! Not sure what to post there yet but I’ll join
Username checks out
I mean, sure, if we’re pretending you can’t abandon accounts at will and make new ones elsewhere in the lemmy…verse.
The whole idea of “who” is kinda pointless.
Maybe I am the real Vanilla Puddinfudge. Maybe I’m not. What would it mean either way?
I’m a polish girl who tried to make friends on lemmy but that didn’t work out too well
Witness me!!!
Hi Mr. Shankles, nice to see you again. /s
The /s makes it sound rude, like it’s not nice to see me lol
Is it that I’ve never run across you before, or that I’ve never liked it? You’ll never know. /s
I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.
Oh, you pickled moon dumpling.
At least we can all say that we are famous on the internet.
Even on big websites like Wikipedia there are only a few hundred major editors that write most of the content and they all know each other. On Youtube you tend to get to know everyone in your filter bubble as well.
Reddit has a dedicated Tor site
Holy shit, I actually managed to make an anonymous account over Tor. Now lets see how long before I get banned/shadowbanned. Didn’t even think this was possible.Edit: Doesn’t work, shadowbanned. Fuck Reddit
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip my reddit account was shadowbanned. The tor link doesn’t do shit if the corporate overlords want to know your identity so they can send the US ICE-gestapo after you for wrong-think.
Fuck Reddit. Long live the fediverse.
Viva la Lemmy!
Update: Reddit is ass
Fuck corporate.
GO FEDIVERSE FOREVER 🏆
Meh, wake me when it has an i2p presence
Wait, reddit doesn’t allow tor anymore? I remember posting a drug-related TIFU using tor and a throwaway acc, but that was years ago
