Because at the end of the day, they’re all on Reddit. So when reddit says “you’ll get banned for upvoting content that promotes violence [against the oligarchs],” you can’t just make another subreddit because they’ll shut that one down too.

If the admin of lemmy.world says “you’ll get banned for upvoting content that promotes violence [against the oligarchs],” then you can say okay and make luigimangione@otherlemmyinstance.com. People on Lemmy.world can still access the new site, or even leave Lemmy.world entirely if they decide they’re not down with the admin. But they can still access all of the other federated communities they were subscribed to rather than having to quit Lemmy overall.

This was such an easy to follow explanation, thank you!

Ears so big she can hear the written word lol

OP, you and your husband should download the Stellarium app. You can compare stars together when you talk. 🙂

Honestly this is a good idea, just overwhelm their review queues

I think this is what confuses me, like, how? If Lemmy is like reddit and Mastadon is like Twitter how do they talk to each other. Do you follow someone on Mastadon via lemmy and then their “tweets” just show up on your front page?

This shit brought me back to trying to get into Lemmy. I’m sure this is the straw for others too. May reddit enjoy it’s diggification.
