Like many others, I came from Reddit and was initially hesitant to try it out, but I love this place so much! It really feels like the "worse" parts of Reddit have been skimmed off, and that definitely shows with how nice people seem here! Thank you so much!
yes! I love the culture of this place so far
Truth is for me as someone who used Reddit for about the last 16 years, it very much feels like the early days of Reddit again.
Which is a very good thing, because that's what I originally signed up for compared to a metric fuckton of karma farming spam bots.
I just hope it gains enough traction to be sustainable in the long run, especially considering that it's relying on donations for funding, I believe?
undefined> metric fuckton of karma farming spam bots.
People are hard at work writing bots for lemmy so don't worry, you'll be able to enjoy your regular hogwash again really soon.
Personally I think lemmy should go as far out of its way as possible to make bots in any and all forms just about impossible.
Yeah, we can enjoy while it lasts, because with more users more questionable content will come
Found one russian troll already. Oh well..
Edit: lol, was not referring to OP, it was some world news post comment with chiese username that spread misinformation about russian war in ukraine. I just added my thoughts on the community.
you can easily block any user by click on the π« sign under their comment, and never have to deal with their bs again
wow, that's actually a really nice feature. I wonder how it works though, i guess their text just will be blacked out for me, or will the post and all answers to it be completely vanish?
They're only invisible to you, it's kind of like muting on Twitter more than blocking, as far as I understood. (I haven't felt the need to do it yet!)
Lesson learned today: never take anything for grantedβif there's a chance to be massively misunderstood, it will eventually happen lol
What.
what about that post made you think they were a russian troll?
I think they meant they've seen one Russian troll on Lemmy already, not that skidface is a Russian troll.
I ... Have to assume so, anyway
Can confirm I am not a russian troll ;)

that's what I assumed, but was trying to understand all the downvotes
