Yeah I get it. I dunno what the balance is. It needs to be fun for admins too - else they get burned out and you get the Reddit style power-trip types as the ones that stay. I'm generalizing heavily.. But my point is I guess if the community takes the lead in reporting and blocking bad users we can all help the load of the mods, while working around the limitations of Lemmy's design. Hopefully ...

Yeah I agree with that. I think ideally the real "balance" is going to swing in wildly different directions depending on the instance and what kind of experience it wants to provide.

you need to take a photo of your balls to use reddit now and new accounts cannot login to old reddit as this feature is now restricted to only existing accounts that are older

Even my old account isn't working on old anymore. Except on my phone for some reason (possibly just haven't logged back into it on that since whatever changed). Makes it really easy not to hang around on that site after reading whatever drags me there in the first place.

I literally don't understand how you could just come out and say the stupidest thing in the world ;) Yeah lemming's brains are melted. Literacy in the bit. Commenting on an article without reading it should carry the penalty of a day in the stocks.

Sometimes I want to know what actually happened in the article to know if it's worth reading without giving some clickbait bullshit the benefit of my clicks.

Create those communities or post in other existing communities with a similar topic. I know it's annoying if you are the first one and no one react to the content but someone has to start.

I am mostly consumer of these subs and I don't have an interest in changing this. I also have no ideology behind this. If the stuff I need is on reddit, I'll simply keep using reddit for these things as long as reddit works. Once they lock me out, I am out.

Hah well.... for starters I would say emotionally mature people don't tend to make demands of the people they're replying to.

right, so mature people do what then, make assumptions about what you mean?

is it also mature to be defensive about legitimate questions asking you to be more specific about you general statements?

I guess you haven't read the text under my screenshot - this doesn't happen on NSFW subs or posts anymore, I cannot access ANYTHING anymore, the complete account is blocked unless I verify.

just use redreader like everyone else, and stop with the drama

There's no use in interacting with posts, say, 8 hours old or so. Maybe less. Everybody has already moved on. Edit: that's why I like the slower pace of the Fediverse, it's like the old messages boards I grew up with, with posts that simmered for days/months and there wasn't endless scrolling to steal your attention.

Yeah, I remember being super excited in 2005 or so to check my forum threads and see where I had gotten replies. Conversations were often still measured in weeks back then.

Asking for a title adjustment, mirror, or source of a transcript with intent to read shall be a valid defence under the law. However said comment must not otherwise violate the tenants of the law nor contain inducements for others to do so.

they are continuing to digg their own grave.

They overextended their shaft and the balloon popped. 👻

Eventually you'll die of old age before you can finger scroll all the way up on wheel from the current year.

It's not consistent, I switched to an old dormant account that have not been used at all in at least a year and it went on old fine.

You think that, but scrolling all the way down gets increasingly longer faster than you think.

No that's a common misconception, it's spelled O'bviouslywrong, an old family name. Computers just hate symbols.

It's always interesting to see what it takes for someone to leave reddit. It wasn't all the bullshit before, but this is was over the line for this user. How much more can they keep getting away with before a tipping point? The standards people have today are so eroded.

Exactly look at Xbox 360 and PS4 going downhill.
