Banned before they started is hyperbole.
I mean they should have been shut down at the first report of the illegal/pedo activity on the sub, they should have lasted weeks to months at the longest.
They should have never been around long enough for someone like, me, a vanilla layperson who does not go to reddit for porn, to hear about - which is they were around for years before I heard of them and for more years after.
On Fedi I also think communities like this should be banned, and typically they are, the admins of the largest instances are very protective of what they are hosting and linking to and I appreciate that. NSFW is also much more compartmentalized on Lemmy, so I very rarely if at all run in to anything more than people being politically questionable but not physically.
I mean, I don’t disagree but you realize the activity was not illegal? It was taken down to social pressure and it’s objection ability, but nothing about it was illegal.

I noticed a profound change in moderating about the time TheDonald became popular. People started getting bans after this for things they would have never been banned for before and it wasn’t the racist/sexist people getting banned.
I eventually received a subreddit ban after leaving a comment in a conservative Reddit effectively stating the Republicans should take out Ron Desantis like the dirty diaper he was. When I pointed out to the moderators that what I said was rather tame compared to other comments they claimed I was harassing them (for exactly one appeal message). I received a 24hr site ban over this which was both bizarre and confusing. I started to disengage after this and after the API changes I stopped using it completely.

Just so happens that there a quite a few rural communities that already have the tools necessary to deal with data centers poisoning the air and using up all the water. 🤷🏾♂️
Jensen is way less important to Nvidia than the market seems to think. If I had capital I would be buying this dip.

I see the point but I don’t necessarily agree. Before the intense commercialization Reddit had definitely changed for the worse for me because of the influx of people.
I stopped talking about Linux because Winbros would brigade me. I stopped talking about politics because I would be brigaded by western/capitalist bros. The discussions also got a lot worse over time and nuanced opinion was almost always down voted and brigaded.
I fear the same would happen for lemny if we suddenly had a hundred million users. Having a good community is desirable, but having a ton of people not so much so.
*AND* USAToday calling it for Colom as well.
…I might cry. This is so beautiful.
NYT (finally, and one suspects resentfully) has called it as well.
Printing and framing:
@Migueldeicaza ironically, 'Posted on X'
Last Podcast on the Left finally got around to doing a series on the infamous quack "goat gland doctor" John Brinkley.
If you are curious why you might be interested in Brinkley, here is a screenshot of a long-ago post I made trying to explain it

@jalefkowit That is hilarious.

the “I also choose this guys dead wife” is what gave the site character
Yeah, and here we have beanposting. Which I love.
But if it’s 100% beanposting, it’s bad. That happened to Reddit.

Welcome!
Also, tbh if you make a new community for something you want to see, and post to it maybe once every couple days, your people will eventually find it.
It takes a bit of upfront work to prime the pump, but eventually you’ll find a steady little stream of posts just start to appear.
It almost feels like it’s addressed to you when it happens, like oh! Someone posted in my community! And it’s something new to me! It’s a real treat.
