I said fag-got and it got censored. What a fucking joke. Why is a British suet pudding fucking illegal to say? What do they have against British food? Fucking faggits

I’ve tried saying removed but it got censored.
This is a test to see if it’s instance or community based.

Skyrim.
I spent about 100hrs playing and even built my own house. There’s a branch in the story line part way through where you have to choose to be a Dragon killer or supporter. I couldn’t choose so I just kept doing side-quests. Not played it in years though.

He’s obviously joking but Remainers like him and me have a right to be fucking angry. My citizenship of the EU has been lost because of xenophobia and stupidity.

- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 4 months ago:
It has zero niche reach
People can’t expect a Reddit-clone. I thought when I saw the proliferation of UK communities that they are going to end up dead. They did. My old Reddit account is 15yo so I saw Reddit grow organically and it went like this:
1-2yr old Reddit Top level subs: e.g. AskReddit 3-5yr old Reddit: Secondary level starts: r/unitedkingdom r/ukpolitics 6+ years third level: UKFood, AskUK, CasualUK.
Each time Reddit grew subs were created organically after main subs got fed up with a certain type of post. AskUK formed in response to users getting fed up with questions in UnitedKingdom and people wanted UK specific questions of AskReddit. UnitedKingdom spawned as more UK users visited. CasualUK spawned when some people wanted less politics.
It was organic and subs spawned when required. So subs rarely died because they only came into existence when there was demand.
“I feel thin like butter scraped across too much bread”
When there’s fewer people you can afford to shove everything into higher level subs and if you want it to be specific put it in the title like this:
- Brits - what’s your fave tea?
- [Yanks] Whats your fave eagle?
Putting posts into communities with 3 people that never gets viewed is pointless. I basically stalk just a few subs and make sure anything I’d ask in a more specific Reddit sub gets posted in the most generic but relevant I can find. E.g. I asked about HaikuOS on the Linux community - it’s not even a Linux distro but it’s open source and it’s the closest-big community that would know anything about it.
People need to treat Lemmy like early Reddit. Don’t think you can clone reddit’s vibe and operation in a year.
I think oldschool Redditors need to WAKE UP and remember wtf it used to be like before the Digg exodus exploded Reddit into mainstream.
N.B. everyone’s comments are worth a shitton more here because there’s fewer comments. You aren’t shouting into a storm, your voice gets heard here. Embrace that people. Stop with the low-effort humour to get karma and put some thought into what you want to say. If nothing else it’ll improve your mental health.
