That’s a great point. Even if it’s used as a verb, it could mean throwing a banana peel behind you while driving.

Nintendo doesn’t want to raise the specter of association with Luigi Mangione. Heck, I bet they’d advocate for this, and would rename Mario’s brother if they could.

Not really, the community mod gets to say yes or no to the post. As long as Luigi Mangione coverage doesn’t incite violence, it too can be greenlit.

That’s why I’m here at least.

Meh, I’m not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an “app” and probably don’t even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren’t going anywhere. And frankly, that’s fine by me.

Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we’re never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let’s hope half of them actually stick around.

We have that here, it’s called “crazy admins” but has a cure called distro instance hopping.

Nahh deff upvote and then never log back in…

Welcome to the fedi verse, we got our own neo lib acolyte mods on Lemmy.world and you will get some bans from them.

Rest of fedi is a decently safe space for proper discourse.

And remember folks, deny the parasite profit and engagement

Luigi did nothing wrong

Reddit is a group of internet users with the vision of free speech, but directed by shareholder and policy makers.

So glad I ditched Reddit.

It’s a funny meme, rooted in reality for some communities, due to their conservatism or beliefs.

You can’t even be a centrist on Reddit anymore and point stuff out about left and right policies and attitudes. You can be a full on Nazi or full on Communist, though. It’s quite tragic.

There are lurkers but many of the active commenters are frankly just more active in voting and commenting. Lemmy has much more engagement than Reddit for commenters because it’s a small community and the way comments are default sorted. You don’t need to make a comment early to end up on the top of the thread. You just need to get about two up votes and it’ll put you at the top. If what you said is worthwhile then you’ll get a lot more after that

Edit: one of the benefits of this is it encourages high quality late comments. On Reddit those would largely get ignored, but here engagement like that is encouraged.
