I’m Yakuza_Wolf_ReRise and I just migrated here from Reddit (I went by the name u/Yakuza-Wolf_Kiwami). To briefly explain what happened, I had a couple of imposters pretending to be me to do some dirty deeds, leading to my account to be suspended. I can’t go too deep into details, but that’s the basic jist of it. So I came here as an “alternative” to reddit up until my account is back and running.

So, what can I do around these parts?

    A lot of people find the .ml domain to be a red flag. (See what I did there?)

    The .ml stands for Marxist Leninist and many users from the domain are active communists.

    Two of them (?) are the people who make Lemmy. I’d like to thank them.

    Long and short of it is that you may be blocked by instances and/or users simply because off being on .ml

    It’s a bit sad and a bit complicated, to be honest.

    I personally love wandering over to other people’s instances and having a look around. As long as your not combative nor offensive most places here are quite welcoming.

    Enjoy.

    This isn’t the right place for your post, but that’s okay. Lemmy is way more spread out than Reddit, so you should make a post like this in every community you intend to use. They’ll be named like the subs you used to like. You’ll find the people you’re looking for much faster that way.

    You could start by reading a community’s rules before posting to it.

    Well… you can make posts, and read posts, and also comment on posts.

    The whole intro thing is a bit odd. Reddit uses AI to auto ban people constantly if the AI guesses you’re saying something naughty. You don’t really need to walk in and justify why you’re here. Plus you’re making it very clear that you don’t want to be here anyway, and plan to bail as soon as you can go back there.

    It’s pretty much like walking in to a bar and telling a lady that you’re married, but your wife isn’t speaking with you at the moment so you’re looking for someone to use for a short while to keep yourself from feeling bored but plan to blow them off the minute you can.

    In short: Rebel like a communist

    1. Post news articles to mock the US or NATO.
    2. Praise any country or organization that’s outside of US influence,
      so PRC/CPC, Palestine, Iran/IRCG, Yemen/Ansar Allah, Lebanon/Hezbollah, DPRK or Russia/ЕР/YR, although the latter is controversial here.
    3. Tell everyone that you hate AI and get praised for it.
    4. Talk about how you recently switched to Linux.
    5. Try to popularize currently unconventional words in the Usonian Burger Reich language or funky writing styles like ðis for political purposes or if you just have a Þing for it.
