But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅
I get around that problem by simply never looking at your usernames
Meh, wake me when it has an i2p presence
As for posting stuff on the internet, I don’t care anymore. I just try to not post stupid shit, and be decent to other people.
I’ve had the misfortune of posting on Craigslist Forums and then having at least 1-2 people shit on me or call me a moron
Lemmy is also not overrun by AI bots and sock puppets.
For now!
Everyone here is my alt, except you.
There are only two real users on Lemmy, its just you and me. Get pranked!
/jk
Wouldn’t sock puppeting be much easier on Lemmy? Or does Lemmy implement a minimum account age system like Reddit does?
It would be pretty easily though, if anyone starts to think that it’s important.
This is what they want you to believe!
this…
I mean, sure, if we’re pretending you can’t abandon accounts at will and make new ones elsewhere in the lemmy…verse.
The whole idea of “who” is kinda pointless.
Maybe I am the real Vanilla Puddinfudge. Maybe I’m not. What would it mean either way?
I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.

Witness me!!!
Hi Mr. Shankles, nice to see you again. /s
The /s makes it sound rude, like it’s not nice to see me lol
Is it that I’ve never run across you before, or that I’ve never liked it? You’ll never know. /s
It’s the same with every small forum tbh
Typical Magnus comment.
Calm down buddy, Magnus didn’t do nothin wrong.

your privacy is worse on lemmy. anyone can access all your comment and post upvotes and downvotes. your pms are open for server admins to read. both examples need to be fixed imo
Btw, your PMs being available to admins is the same on like every socmed. If you have to use lemmy as your secure method of communication (you shouldn’t), at least use PGP, but lemmy isn’t meant for that, use XMPP or Matrix or even Signal I guess.
People DM each other on Lemmy?
TIL that feature exists
So can you on reddit.
Your privacy is the same on either. But now, anyone can gain that information, not just Reddit’s investors and partners.
It’s what you write on these platforms that affects your privacy.
So, is it better to host your own instance?
Doesn’t change the voting situation. Since your votes need to be seen by other instances, Lemmy needs a mechanism for federating votes. Since instances are untrusted, there needs to be some way of preventing manipulation. Thus, AFAIK, Lemmy simply shares your votes across instances, letting each one tally them up. As a side effect, any server admin of an instance you can interact with can also get a list of all your votes.
Man So much this.
The place is a Village rather than a City.
I think should touch some grass because i may recognise more people here than in the village i am living in for like 2 jears

Oh, you pickled moon dumpling.
It’s also not only about upvotes here.
For some of the really prolific posters, yes. But there are also lurkers like me.
I doubt anyone can recognize me when I comment or encounter a comment I made.
Potentially unpopular protip: I’ve blocked most of the “prolific” posters. My entire feed was becoming repurposed memes from 2015.
I’m happy there are people out there dedicating time to keeping Lemmy “active” but that is not how I want to live my life.
I’m order to prove you wrong, I am committed to remembering your username.
Thanks…?
Let’s see when we meet each other in some other corner of Lemmy.
until we see each other again 🫡
I love your username, I used to use it on another platform.
Sa PH lang kita madalas nakikita, san ka ba nagpo-post pre? 😃
Pakalat-kalat lang ako. Kung saan lang mapagtripan. 😅
Bihira lang din akong magpost kasi madalas wala rin naman akong masabi o maidagdag.
I’m just hanging around at random places. Wherever my fancy takes me.
I rarely post too, since I rarely have anything to say or add.
User tags make recognizing people a lot easier. I see tagged users a lot. Voyager even keeps a running total of how many times I have upvoted and downvoted particular users.
There’s one user I have at like -30, tagged as a Nazi apologist. And sure enough, every time I scroll past them, they’re commenting some weird BS.
How do you tag users on voyager?
Go to the user screen, then use the menu button in the top corner. There’s an “Edit Tag” option.
Heyyy, it apparently works the same on Boost. In honor of teaching me how to tag people, you are now tagged as “Tagged”. Thank you and congratulations!
Oh, I use that too on my mobile app (Voyager). I am starting to think that once the total votes reach some threshold, either I’d encounter them consistently dishing out hot takes, or I’m primed to think their take is hot and spicy.
I will never forget you.
