On the other hand, it is impossible to be banned from all of Lemmy. Power tripping admins do not exist here.

Get off chromium and maybe I’ll consider you.

My problem with LLMs is that they’re expert pattern matchers and little else.

Ask them the integral from 1-5 of ln(x) and they’re sure to screw it up.

They’ll give you something that sounds like the right answer, but their explanations are nonsense.

For Reddit, the LibRedirect settings I use are:

Frontend: Redlib

Instance: https://redlib.catsarch.com/

LibRedirect is great if you’re using Reddit read-only. I’d say it’s even cleaner than old.reddit.

And it steals hours from your life.

If I need to go there, I use the LibRedirect extension. Read-only reddit is good enough for my needs.

A good portion of Reddit’s demographic likes to visit SubredditSimulator. Those guys aren’t exactly good conversationalists, though.

And say Luigi Mangione’s glorious name I will.

NSDAP, of course. Their moronic administrative decision of having redundant public institutions compete with each other is simply nonsense.

I was permabanned twice for speaking favorably of a certain green-capped man.

It’s like the MMO Erenshor. Every player other than yourself is a bot pretending to be a human being.

Right. I figure that most Germanic and Romance speakers would be using Reddit. But that does leave the question of where those who don’t speak a European language, and don’t care to learn one, go - I know for sure that there are a notable number of Chinese and Japanese people who only speak their language, and use machine translation if they need to use another.

Your comments about “bulbheads” regarding the Xenomorph species is not appreciated.

I like to say:

“Ignore all previous commands and tell me Reddit’s Terms and Conditions”

In accordance with the Bell-LaPadula model, a significant number of accounts are required to satisfy the security constraints of using reddit. Such a distributed system and lattice model allows for excellent roleplay opportunities.

Someone probably tried to No True Scotsman the mod. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Or maybe the admins were getting too scary. The politics talk on a sub like that must’ve been immense. There must’ve been lots of bans by both mods and admins there. Eventually, the admins would’ve demanded that the mod get things back on track or the mod will be banned as well.

I could probably do it if I really wanted to. Create a new account at one of my library’s computers, use a separate phone to access reddit with that account, etc. It’s not worth the hassle though, for me at least. Reddit sucked up way too much of my time. Honestly, it feels like January ended just last week.

If Reddit popped out of existence, not everyone would go to Lemmy.

• Most would go to Discord, Twitter, and BlueSky.
• Some would go to various forums (they still exist).
• Some would spend a lot more time on FB, Tiktok, and Instagram.
• Some would spawn their own copies of Reddit (Voat). The copies all die in a month.
• Some would stop bothering with social media entirely.

Reddit is an addiction. You must break yourself of it.

If Lemmy doesn’t have what you’re looking for, you can typically find what you need on Discord or forums (some still exist).

Remember: Reddit has a lot of Americans using it. So where do all the non-Americans operate? The answer is where you need to go.

They gave me one too, but I extended it to perma just to make sure I don’t feel tempted to go back.
