I got banned for telling someone it's important to check for cancer, on a post about a sports person that died from rectal cancer, and I was banned permanently for "harassment".

I appealed and lost.

Neckbeards fighting about Linux. No girls in sight.

Like Lemmy.

With the hate here, even after you explained, I am starting to think these FOSS heads are going to kill Lemmy.

Instead of just using any other app, they are attacking you. What a great way to push any future devs away. Lemmy will continue to be a weird little FOSS niche if the FOSS users don't stop soiling their diapers over nothing.

Fragmented communities are.

My front page has the same thing 10-15 times because they were cross posted to so many different instances.

I've reduced my Lemmy usage by probably 95% because of it. I scroll so much but get nowhere.

No matter what my sort options are.

Edit: which aren't always bots, unfortunately. A ton of people see them from other communities and will post the same thing to theirs. Blocking bots does not help.

Imagine throwing away your life because a different party is rightfully elected. Your wife is gone. She's not staying around, because in 17 years you will both be different people. Your kid is gone. You will never know your kid, even when you get out.

It's stupid, because presidents promise so much, but do so little. You threw away your life for pretty much nothing.

Fucking idiots lol.

I had a double lung transplant 6 years ago. You have to be EXTREMELY compliant to even get put on the list.

So many meds and tests and shit stuff you need to follow EXACTLY, every 12 hours, every day, for the rest of your life.

If you refuse a vaccine you're never going to care for your new lungs. It's not easy.

Accidentally stumbled onto a nude beach once. Got nude to not feel left out. I don't even take my shirt off outside in the summer because I'm so self conscious.

Either fit in or leave.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the backslash you're getting for charging money.

I'm also sorry people expect it to be $1 because the Reddit app was $1 back in 1825. I genuinely believe it's children complaining, because no functioning adult would complain about a price increase when rent has tripled or quadrupled since the $1 Reddit app. It's also annoying to see that people think that saying they bought the Reddit app for $1 and enjoyed it for 10 years is an argument. It goes to show it was severely underpriced.

It must be frustrating to have that type of response. Lemmy users seem to be really entitled when it comes to software, and the response you're getting scares me for the future. I really hope the Boost developer doesn't cancel his app after seeing how entitled Lemmy users are being right now.

What frustrates me more is the people complaining are continuing to use the free open source apps. Like great, you already have an alternative you prefer. Shut up. Stop bringing others down.

I wish you the best. Thank you for choosing to develop for Lemmy. I have my eyes on Boost, but I'm gladly using your free tier for the time being.

Thanks again!

Sorry. I'm just trying not to get evicted due to living in a country with the highest rent, internet, food, and data plan prices.

Since when do brands want to be known on Reddit? Isn't the entire point to make a bunch of fake accounts and post positive comments about said brand, to make them look good?

HEY REDDIT, WHAT'S A BRAND YOU'LL BUY FOR LIFE!?

Queue the thousands of totally not brand accounts posting why said product is so perfect and you'll never buy any other brand again!

You would like it if you had slow internet, or you hosted a website.

My website turned 5MB images into 100KB images using webp. My website now loads instantly, saves you bandwidth, and me costs!
