Memes about the Fediverse.

Rules

General
  1. Be respectful
  2. Post on topic
  3. No bigotry or hate speech
  4. Memes should not be personal attacks towards other users
  5. We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    • Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
  6. This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

Why would people even use alt accounts?

  • backup in case your primary instance is down
  • admin/mod account to separate mod work from normal activity
  • bot accounts
  • test accounts
  • and more...

I know, it’s really silly. Finally somebody talking sense here!

It would appear you were all wooshed.

[–] JohnSmith@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

I agree, they were indeed wooshed.

A legitimate reason might be that you want to talk about things that your employers might not approve of, like your sexuality or your politics. We don't want to get fired because we are are LGBTQIA+ or oppose tyranny.

Currently, reports only go to Mods on the community's instance, so you need a Mod for that.
