tldr is a pretty good commandline utility: https://tldr.sh

I love it! Thanks for posting :)

I got banned from every country and city subreddit for commenting on /r/conspiracy.

User: “ChatGPT, write me a script to clean up my hard disk on Linux”

ChatGPT: sudo rm -rf / 😁

Some good tips on this thread, saved for later.

This is the Way.

Telegram is just lousy with crap posts and comments now as well.

“Eventually, everything becomes a crab”

Carcinization is an example of a phenomenon called convergent evolution, which is when different groups independently evolve the same traits. It’s the same reason both bats and birds have wings. But intriguingly, the crab-like body plan has emerged many times among very closely related animals.

It seems to apply to social networks as well 😀

I agree with OP…would like to be able to do that here on Lemmy as well…if you want to not see a post here, you have to block the user altogether.

Edit: Just tested it OP, after you refresh it goes away…it’s just a chance to Undo before it disappears entirely. It’s not a terrible change :)

I still have all my messages, including the original ‘Welcome to Reddit’ message from 7 years ago:

I think OP has a point…silence and no traffic would be a better weapon against Spez…he already knows we hate him.

I have no official measurements but when I stop in occasionally, I notice it’s much more responsive than it used to be :)

Has that new car smell.

I posted quite a bit on /r/conspiracy on the pandemic …after that I got banned from posting on /r/vaccinelonghaulers and all the city and country subs eg: /r/korea. Still have my account and I can still post on places I’m not banned.

…just subbed to banhammered, I’ll post it there too.

“Lemmy is the New Reddit”

Hip Hip, Hooray! 😁

It’s basically Usenet with nicer formatting :)

This is a better solution in my view 👍

I never heard of spez until this debacle…now that I have a face to go with all the scummy corporate behavior, I’m absolutely out of there…I see his face every time I go there now and it skeeves me out :P

If you use a 3rd party app to access it, it’s probably cut off now, the web version still works okay…I haven’t tried Reddit’s own app…I usually use a web browser anyway.
