Everything I’m looking forward to is all in my personal life. We’ll pick up a new furry family member later today and I’m looking forward to getting to know them for example. Looking forward to learning new creative skills I can use as an outlet. Globally speaking I’m currently not optimistic enough to look forward to anything.

I too appreciate this potato.

Wish I could take credit. I’ve seen it around and it just fits perfectly when it comes to all those tech bro’s and the way they are acting in relation to politics and power. It’s now just part of my vocabulary.

I love Pixelfed specifically because of the artsy, visual inspiration. I dearly miss browsing through my instragram feed and getting incredibly inspired by seeing people create amazing and beautiful things, including using techniques and crafts I had never even heard of before.

Pixelfed is starting to kind of be that for me, but Reddit did some of that too. Some of the most niche crafts even had their own subreddits. I just want to be able to be inspired by my social media feed again - ideally without algorithms aiming to get me stuck there. And without the broligarchy threatening to take it away at any moment.

Sure, but I still suspect that we’ll get a large influx of crafters and other artists that will be visible in Lemmy directly. Still very much excited

This is absolutely perfect! The crowd I am following on Pixelfed is pretty much exactly what I am still partially missing on Lemmy. So excited about this. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds exactly like my experience going through the shadowbanned comments. I understood a few of them (like my recent comments suggesting Lemmy). But others were exactly like what you described. They were comments I spent an hour mulling over at times to get them just right with the right nuance and resources. So sorry that this was happening to you too.

Btw, for anyone mistrusting this tool, logging out and viewing things as public or from an incognito browser window should show the shadow banned comments as “removed”. Obviously difficult to do for large scales, but that’s why there’s a tool I guess.

Here you go

Also never underestimate how many bots there are. And how many users have 10+ accounts. Seeing less evidence of that on Lemmy so far, though who knows honestly.

Just found out half of everything I ever did on the site was shadow banned. Looking into ways to mass delete my history.
