For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

    You are a legend for what you did. They nat 1’d and instead of abiding by the roll, they flipped the table.

    Thanks for all the work you put in, the frankly great content we got out of the NSFW protest, and for sticking to your guns. Took me a minute to figure out how to work this site, but I’m happy now that I’m here, and look forward to sticking around and seeing what nonsense we get up to here.

    This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.

      Unfortunately, that’s probably the only route, IMO

      My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.

      While it’s not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i’ve found. If you click to the “all” feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.

        Just to add, sorting All by Top Hour/6H keeps the content fresh. The default Active sorts by comments and favors 1-2 day old threads while Hot regularly resurfaces weeks old threads for some reason.

          After I subscribed to a Canada sublemmy, there was a full two days where I was just constantly being bombarded with threads from literal years ago I’d see a shockingly frightening news thing, click on the thread, start reading, realize this all sounded familiar, and then realize this was like covid news

        First post on here, I have as well followed after the dndmemes mod fiasco by Reddit. Question: does Lemmy allow NSFW content? Asking… For a friend.

          Each community is allowed to set their own standards for the rules they have, there’s no server wide ban necessarily against NSFW, so you should check with the mods of a given community

      Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don’t want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that’s what I would encourage you to do: Post things!

          Ttrpg.network, which you joined, is one of many websites that can all communicate together with a common web protocol. This process is called federation and all of those sites together are called the fediverse. So for example, I’m logged into slrpnk.net right now but because both of our sites (called instances) are federated, I can view and comment here, and you’d be able to do the same on any communities hosted on slrpnk.net. You may have heard of mastodon which is more of a twitter alternative but it’s also part of the fediverse, so you should be able to use your account here to view and interact with mastodon content as well if you wish.

          It’s a pretty clever system and while there are hiccups here and there, for me it has been a good replacement for Reddit. We just need more users and content to really get things going.

          This is the fediverse. It’s a bunch of different instances federating with each other, sharing content but remaining individual. That way, no one instance can pull a reddit and go mad with power.

    Hello! Here’s Question.

    … how did you do it? How did you transcend fear,pain death and become immortal?

    Asking for a friend.

    But more seriously thank you so much for what you did. You set an example.

    And it wasn’t just about goblin tits ( and throbbing bugbear wang).

    It was about resisting illegitimate execution of authority and the sub became a really cool sex positive space. ( possibly not the mods intent, but it happened.)

    Anyway, I do have one final question.

    For people who support you and the original mods and also the remaining mods…

    What do you suggest we do?

    Abandon that sub completely and just come here and try to make it really active or… what?

    🙏❤️

        THAT NCD indeed. Just need HFY around and I’ll be set. Gone are the days of chasing every cat sub.

        I’m not a fan of the layout here, it’s too compacted and things are not clearly defined, but I’ll make do.

          FYI, there are a shit ton of third party apps and extensions for viewing Lemmy however you want. No idea what type of device you’re using, but for iOS I like Memmy.

          How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

          And that still wouldn’t directly let me subscribe since it takes me to sh.itjust.works when I’m on Kbin. I’m also using the PWA but I imagine I’ll switch back to straight browser.

            How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

            Because the two communities are on different servers. !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works is on the sh.itjust.works instance/server (https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense) and !noncredibledefense@lemmy.world, as an example, would be on lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/noncredibledefense). They’re both different communities/subreddits with different mods/admins.

            While this can be a little confusing at first, after a while 1 or 2 similar communities will became the mainstream ones where most traffic will go while the others will be way smaller and a little more niche.

            Sorry that the link doesn’t work for you. Kbin is a different platform and I have no experience with it.

              All I see for both of those is “!noncredibledefense” and yet they go to different servers.

              What are you actually typing? I’m assuming the markdown is changing it.

    I just joined this website and I am very glad to join along for the ride. I hope more subreddits follow this kind of alternative and delete their subs so Reddit can be left in the dust from barely having anything left to see. Would be a justified end for their greed.

    What was your initial reaction when they suddenly created a rule to fire you and blacklist you from being mod again out of nowhere? Must have been quite the surprise, albeit not unexpected.

    It’s kind of pathetic they don’t even pretend to care about their own rules anymore.

    Glad to see you’re still around and not giving up on being a part of the community, I know it sucks being thrown out of something you’ve worked on for so long. Hopefully the community can successfully migrate over the next few weeks and we’ll be back to arguing over stupid rules every week.
