That's remarkable. I want what they have:( So cordial and community-ish. It's like casual 196 but with words. How have they resisted our toxic enshitification??

Also, K-Mart still thrives in Australia. And Xmas is in July!

Thanks for the daydream.

I just asked them, seems like it was an existing community which decided to move to Lemmy together: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/12730059

Makes you wonder what could have happened if most of the mods on Reddit hadn't blocked all similar attempts under the excuse of "self-promotion"

Banning all self promotion is usually done not to play favourites. It gets tiring being a gatekeeper so you just remove that variable. Mods should have been shepherding communities to alternative and open platforms themselves though.

Indeed. I'm still regularly fighting with a country mod team because even though we offered them to because admins on our Lemmy communities, they still didn't want to allow a single post about it. Ironically enough, they did the API 2023 strike, but it seems like they were never really interested in an actual alternative.

I'm going to interpret this literally. Give them a dig from me!

Well, as you know with Reddit, it's mostly them telling me they make the rules, and me just trying to argue back while not getting banned

Really miss !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com in this case
