    amazing.

    1. some alternative community using the name ‘superstonk’ is operated by a user with ‘mein kampf’ in their username.
    2. in conclusion, we will not tolerate the mention of any alternative communities at all.

    this is hilarious and completely unsurprising.

    the good thing is that it doesn’t even matter. the community isn’t stupid, most people will be able to see right through this behavior as unjustifiably heavy handed

    enough people are already aware about alternative communities that the growth of such alternatives, such as this lemmy instance, will continue to happen naturally.

      That’s begs a question about this server. Does it make sense to have something like an “AcrossTheApeiverse” community here specifically for crossposting ape content from other platforms/servers?

      It would represent the exact opposite of gatekeeping and maybe help this Lemmy server become the go-to home for apes.

        We could definitely have a community focused on crossposts - but I’m not seeing the advantage to that as opposed to users simply crossposting into the community here which is most aligned with the topic of the initial post?

          Yeah that’s the better idea. Just wanted to highlight the idea that we may benefit from proactively aggregating ape-related content as opposed to being another silo. That may have already been implied, though.

    Wow.

    All I can say - Wow.

    When has trying to enforce a monopoly on information worked out well for a community?

    SS becoming a more fitting abbreviation every day. On Reddit it was “don’t cross link because reddit says so”, now it’s “don’t cross link, because -ummmm- we don’t like it and say so.” Hopefully this place will fill quicky. No big hopes for mass adoption yet though, signing up was a nightmare

    Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There are plenty of communities on Reddit that I didn’t agree with, didn’t stop me from using the platform though.

    I hope they come to see the value in a federated platform, especially as it’s where a lot of displeased redditors are going.

    OP unfortunately the original pic you posted for this topic got corrupted at some point. Do you happen to still have the pic that you could re-upload?

    On Reddit I avoided getting wrapped up in single sub drama by creating a custom GME multithread with all the GME content I could find. It made it a lot easier to spot the bad apples. Is a similar feature available on Lemmy?

    Honestly I would love some sort of GME aggregator website.

      I don’t think you can yet set up custom feeds as far as I know, but you can create a dedicated user account just for GME communities, and then that user account’s “subscribed” feed would effectively be that. Not ideal, but kinda words
