PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities

barsoap@lemm.ee to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 309 points –

For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

  1. !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
  2. !asklemmy@lemmy.world
  3. !linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
  4. !programmer_humor@programming.dev
  5. !world@lemmy.world
  6. !privacy@lemmy.world and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one, lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. !fedigrow@lemm.ee says !privacy@lemmy.ca. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
  7. !technology@lemmy.world
  8. Seems like !comicstrips@lemmy.world and !comicbooks@lemmy.world, various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
  9. !opensource@programming.dev
  10. !fuckcars@lemmy.world

I go to the web to a post on the user's instance and click Modlog on the bottom. From there you can sort by user and see their banned posts as well as the ban reason. (The commenter's reason is because of Spam)

Is it the stated reason or is it legitimate? I didn't check but I assume they iterate through arbitrary reasons

Don't check, keep your assumptions intact.

You told me not to check but I was a bit naughty and did check it. They got banned for "botspam" for writing one comment. Make of it what you like

They got banned for "botspam" for writing the same comment twice on two different posts, completely off topic. And that exact same comment was spammed by another account.

EDIT: Filter the mod log by users "reddthat.com/corymbia" and "lemmy.today/jobby".

EDIT 2: they were banned before the actual spam, my bad

I wrote a single comment and it was deleted in minutes so I went nuts.

How did you go nuts, i thought you were already banned? How were the mods able to delete your spam if you were already banned?

Also quite obvious that your initial comment was just a troll to provoke a mod action, why get all mad about it when it happens?

Maybe I wasn’t banned. I just got fucking angry and posted what could,

That's actually fair, you did get banned before the spam and the timestamps were too close when I first checked. I can't see the context because the asklemmy post is not available anymore, but from the reaction to the ban and the spam from multiple accounts I can't feel that bad for you :P
