It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.

Here, have some beans.

We don't do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.

Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don't have the jpg.

EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:

About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.

If you get a message from 'Fediverse Chick', that's not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.

Here. You've got four of it.

Maybe I'll updoot, maybe I'll downdoot who knows? You don't have to worry about internet points here

Let's be real, we ain't touching grass, let alone take action.

and we don't limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party

Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!

What made you decide on a tankie instance?

say luigi and get warned

what did luigi do to you, reddit?

Yes they started banning thousands of active users for “inciting violence” if you say things like “fuck Elon musk” or “my favorite character in super Mario bros is Luigi”

I got a warning today about upvoting violence. The only thing I have upvoted in the last little while is pro-Canada stuff like elbows up. If that gets me kicked off Reddit then fuck them and fuck spez the little pig boy.

Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name "Luigi."

Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

• !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
• !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

A veritable smorgasbord

and without fascist rules like banned keywords nazi Luigi etc, fuck reddit

nazis can stay the fuck out, though.

Welcome! It's nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!
