I disagree that commenting for the sake of commenting is a good idea. Quality over quantity, a single meaningful discussion is superior to a sea of low effort garbage. I also want the fediverse to take off, but not at the cost of adopting modern Reddit culture.

a “good post”, by this metric, is really just a post that baits lots and lots of engagement

Baiting anything is bad.

by thread bumping

Thread bumping is still possible on Reddit-like social media too. Just use a sort that responds to activity, like the Active sort on Mbin or Piefed.

There WAS 1 chick in the fediverse.

The situation took a dark turn recently.

No, they’re downvoting because they don’t like what the post is saying.

People misusing voting buttons as a like/dlislike button is a well known issue and reality, at least on Reddit. But considering the system works the exact same here, it’s no surprise that the same problem persists here as well.

I assume it’s due to people not trusting Youtube with false positives. They don’t have the best reputation with the rest of their AI moderation stuff.

The notifications are redirecting even Old Reddit users to WWW…

That’s not the issue. If you configured your settings correctly (they’re per-device and get reset on clearing cookies), www.reddit.com is still old reddit too.

The issue is that neither chat nor notifications respect that. They both enforce shreddit despite oldreddit being configured as the default.

And yes, the only realistic reason is that they’re phasing out old reddit by replacing its features one by one by shreddit-exclusive ones.

Why are people saying this was Reddit’s april fools? It clearly says it’s made by /r/gamesonreddit, not the admins.

I’m confused about what you’re trying to say here. You got warned for violent commentary after making a violent comment? That sounds like it makes perfect sense to me. This isn’t a Luigi situation, breaking someone’s fingers IS undeniably violence.

Swiss/Allemanic German. Specifically I speak Zug’s dialect.

That’s perfect, exactly what I meant to say.

Mer chönd das scho probiere, aber denn müsst mer ja di ganz Ziit en Übersetzer zur Hand ha, wär denn doch nöd die best UX würdi säge. Das würd d’Neuakömmlige nur no meh verschüüche.

unless you want to create a nazi robot supervillian

That’s just Musk.

If you believe this was a mistake, please contact the moderators of the community.

Did you do that?

I don’t really agree with that removal reason if it’s real, but I do think your post was clearly trolling and bad faith arguing and so it’s a good thing it was removed. That said, the rules also don’t currently prohibit that.

have been automatically deleted in the past

I really doubt this is correct. Looking at the domain page for lemmy.world, the earliest post is from a few days before the API protest, and there’s been posts every month since. I don’t see a hole anywhere.
The posts starting just before the protests (when Lemmy is older) could mean they were removed prior to that, but it seems weird to me that Reddit would change their policy on that just when people want to boycott them.
Either way, if they were removed before the protest, that’s a long time ago and not relevant to today.

one of my memes just got removed for being “nsfw”, and it was just a dildo gag.

What’s the problem here? A dildo is nsfw, so this makes sense. Also that thing in the clip looks too much like a real dick anyway. You couldn’t have found a better one?

Reddit mods aren’t a monolith. There’s good and bad ones. And we already have both kinds here too, I have seen bad mods on Lemmy. So I don’t see the issue with Reddit mods coming here. It’s actually a good idea, since they have prior modding experience.

Why would it get deleted? Does /r/50501 have a history on that like /r/technology does? I don’t really expect the mods of an anti-Trump protest sub to be sucking Spez’s dick. And Reddit doesn’t remove Lemmy mentions itself, it’s all the doing of overzealous mods.

Sounds like a torrent

Because it is torrenting. I clicked on the “More information” link in the popup and:

PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server. The main threat to your privacy induced by BitTorrent lies in your IP address being stored in the instance’s BitTorrent tracker as long as you download or watch the video.

No idea about copyright though, but I also don’t quite understand the issue there that doesn’t apply to ActivityPub itself too.
