  • First, stop posting to lemmy.ml, the admins there are crazy. Don’t give them more content.

    We redditors have waaaay enough number to populate our own instances without having to rely on the moderation of crazy people. Look at the population of beehaw skyrocketing since the last few days, we are the king makers. lemmy has never seen such an influx of members.

    So pick whatever instance you prefer and we plant our tent there, and we path the way for the redditors who will inevitable follow us. Don’t feed them the same horrible experience we endured for the last few days of being exposed to the crazy moderation, the crazy putin apologists and such, we need to guide the ex-redditors to our instances, where we completely keep the crazy population away.

    Hey, what about joining an EU instance, so when we click “politics” we don’t have 90% american stories? Beehaw is already filled with americans. Do you want more american politics, more american gun stories and more woke war, more nba stories? I don’t.

    I’m on solarpunks now (https://slrpnk.net/), which is hosted in Portugal. Come here guys, we recreate our reddit from scratch with a taste of Europe.





  • What did you use? I was thinking about doing the same.

    A python script, you need the praw library. The clients id’s are given in your profile after you create an app.

    import praw
    
    reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='yourid',
    	client_secret='yoursecret',
    	password='your password',
    	user_agent='deletes my comments',
    	username='your username')
    
    redditor = reddit.redditor("your username")
    
    for comment in redditor.comments.top(limit=10000):
    	comment.edit("deleted")
    #	comment.delete()
    

    You can edit and delete everything at once but I prefer to overwrite my comments first and let the old cache machines fill up with my new garbage before deleting.


  • Linux

    I swear that the last time I’ve ever shouted at a machine was when I was installing the latest release of Windows Server and I was unable to find the most basics elements on their graphic interface. It’s like I was a baby in a toypark. And they have the guts to call it a server. I’ve seen enough dark patterns in their install steps to make any sane person go mad. Windows is leaking bad faith though all his interface. You know what I want to do and you purposefully stop me from doing it. You are not an ally and not even a tool.

    I tried Macosx years ago too, but from now on I will only use any reasonable brand of linux.



  • As I click your history I see that you have pages and pages of allegations about the tiananmen events.

    I’m not surprised, what I’m surprised about is to find people like you in the main instance of lemmy. I thought that they were contained into the lemmygrad sub but I was wrong, you somehow made your way to the mainstream meeting point.

    I have no intention of discussing with the chinese Fox News.








  • And because they’re federated, lemmygrad users can comment on anything on lemmy.ml, so that’s where you will see viewpoints come in that you may not agree with in news/politics/economics related threads.

    Oh boy, I didn’t think about that. I never thought that lemmy.ml would federate with a cesspool like grad. So yeah, this explains that. That’s why I’m seeing so many shills.

    We have enough numbers to build a “de facto” second main instance which would be completely split from grad, should we focus on one instance? What if we tried to start an instance from scratch?
