much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
This is a good recommendation. I used teddit a lot but libreddit is new to me :)
There's also the Redirector extension to redirect based on regex patterns and I think I had a user script for redirection usable in Violentmonkey. If I find it again, I'll post it here.
Gold!
Email is optional on reddit, at least on desktop.
Reddit, besides a few subreddits, is largely run by people we will not like. And thus I have focused my energy on improving Lemmy in the past year, and keeping it safe from harmful actors, trolls and ones who create rift amongst people and so on.
There are some actors trying to harm Lemmy as well (you might see 1-2 downvotes on this comment).
Yeah, you're the infallible white knight and all people opposing you are "harmful actors, trolls and ones who create rift amongst people and so on".
Please become self aware at some point.
You have not been constructive in any of your comments.
You can be assured that I will use my 2 decades of internet usage and forum experiences to help Lemmy, as it grows from its infancy, away from ending at the same fate other reddit clones end at.
lol that escalated quickly
Why haven't you helped the other 'reddit clones'?
Because they are all mostly neo Nazi cesspools with "free speech" and no moderation, and admins and mods here give a shit about not letting bigotry or neo nazis fester.
Also coincidentally I only got extra free time to help during this COVID pandemic.
Ok, how do you want to make Lemmy better? How do you keep it safe?
By spreading awareness against people creating rift in communities, by making people aware of any bigots, by making aware of people calling others XYZ (eg. white knight) for wanting better forum ethics and so on.
