That would result in a mass exodus of their users and potentially result in their competitor popping up. Imagine the 2023 Reddit API controversy, but things going a lot worse for Reddit. Had Reddit taken a more extreme approach and made it entirely impossible to use any 3rd party apps instead of permitting workarounds for users to modify their apps, then they would’ve lost a lot of relevancy and would actually have suffered financially.

The smart way to do this would be to slowly implement anti-user practices over a long period of time, and let your corporate bootlickers gaslight the rest of the users into thinking that everything is fine and that they’re only overreacting.

I just migrated my comms to Reddthat and Piefed.zip (!NikkeNSFW@reddthat.com and !BigAnimeTiddies@piefed.zip).

From reading their rules, they don’t prohibit NSFW content.

We should use the death of LemmyNSFW as reminder to spread communities across as many instances as possible so something like this won’t happen again at the same scale.

Because right now, if Lemmy.World goes down, then we’re absolutely fucked.

Edit: fixed typo.

This doesn’t answer OP’s question. Do you have a link to it?

And why do you need to set your VPN to Europe to watch YouTube videos?

That’s why I’m a F2P player. Can’t gamble my savings away if I never gave them money in the first place.

It takes a few tries before the anti cheat message went away for me. But it’ll still come back eventually. I would suggest not using your main account.

an error except when you launch through Steam

Isn’t that expected? The Steam login shouldn’t work unless you use Steam.

Do you upvote allegations without evidence? Because that’s how misinformation spreads.

OP had previous temp bans in the past. Emphasis on the fact that bans is plural. Is that not enough of a warning?

Screenshots can be easily manipulated by Inspect Element. Like for example:

There’s no way for us to authenticate OP’s claim with 100% certainty unless we had access to Reddit’s backend and could verify the comment history directly.

Plus, this story was told entirely from OP’s perspective. Can we verify with 100% certainty that that was exactly what was said? Are we for certain that OP didn’t say anything else? How do we know if the full sentence wasn’t “Go back to the muscovite empire and I hope your entire family gets raped”?

And how do we know Reddit didn’t see a larger pattern of TOS-breaking comments and simply included one excerpt in the ban notice to OP? I know for Reddit moderators, they’re restricted to being able to include only one single rule-infringing comment in a ban notification sent to users, even if multiple messages were problematic. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit admins had the same limitation.

That’s why I always take “I got banned by Reddit admins” posts on the Fediverse with a grain of salt. There’s too much missing information to judge. OP might be telling the truth, or they might not. I don’t have enough evidence either way, so I’ll reserve judgment and move on.

NIKKE if you like looking at jiggly asses with a pretty decent lore (Disclaimer Disclosure: I’m the moderator of !nikke@lemmy.world).

BrownDust 2 if you like to constantly ask yourself “How is this still allowed on the app store?”

Blue Archive if you like cute and funny girls.

Girls’ Frontline 2 if you like cute and sexy girls holding guns.

For those who are viewing a community and it looks empty, that means you’re the first person from your instance to have ever visited that community.

If you decide to subscribe to it, you and everyone else from your instance will start seeing new posts that gets posted after you subscribed.

That means you’re the first person to subscribe to that community from your instance. Just subscribe to it and everyone from your instance will see the new stuff posted starting from today.

It’s just an unfortunate problem with the Fediverse that we have to live with, unless someone is able to solve this issue in the future.

AMA request for whoever sleeps like #13 on a daily basis.

If you got banned once, then it’s probably Reddit being a moron.

If you got banned twice, then it’s still probably Reddit being a moron.

But if you got banned thrice, then the problem is you.

Same idea as the “If everyone in the room is an asshole, then the asshole is probably you.”

If there’s text in the body, I’ll always read it.

Now a better question is if you asked us if we read the linked article before commenting lol.

I reverse searched your image and found one with the highest quality. I think this one came from Instagram. :)

I wish society judged people who don’t tag AI art the same way we judge those who fail to tag NSFW or spoiler content.

Found you a better quality one.

I’m simultaneously posting anime tiddies and chatting with a dude named Allah on the Fediverse. First quarter of the 21st century is pretty solid. Can’t complain.

The social media ban for younger kids in Australia is not a good thing. By requiring anyone who wants to access social platforms to provide government ID, you’re effectively eliminating online anonymity.

Sure, the justification today might be to “protect the kids”. But you’re slowly building the infrastructure of a surveillance state. All it’ll take is for an authoritarian party to win the next election and your privacy and freedom of expression is over.

The only way to protect children and protect our privacy is if the age verification software is publicly auditable and uses zero-knowledge proofs for age attestation. The website you’re accessing must never see anything about you aside from “This user is 16+.” And the age verification platform must never be able to keep a log of which websites you’ve accessed.

But that’s just a compromise. If I had the option to choose, I’d rather there be absolutely no age verification, ever.

EDIT: Fixed grammar.

Literally 1984.
