Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Get ready for the next reddit exodus. Honestly I can't wait.
Don't wish for that. The more mainstream Lemmy becomes, the more it'll become a target for the regime's surveillance apparatus.
Reddit is the new FaceBook. People won’t leave so much as younger people will use the next thing.
Facebook is still around in a somewhat diminished form. I expect Reddit will persist, too.
Just installed Blorp and created this account.
Been meaning too, but my 3rd party app just became useless because of their API BS, so there's that too.
I never even heard of Blorp.
That's what makes this piece of the internet so cool.
I really liked the name.
It's missing a bunch of basic stuff though, ATM.
Doesn't even have a file access permission option to save pictures, but it appears to save when you click Download. Just does nothing. Have to click Share and 'save with a file app' or 'copy to folder' or whatever instead
A few missing features aside, it does work.
Blorp dev here. Are you using Blorp on web, iOS, or Android? I would love to sort out the saving image issue.
What is "Blorp"?

Welcome to the Fediverse
They still have 3rd party Reddit apps? And they fucked them on API use again? lol
They didn't officially, apart from RedReader for accessibility reasons. But you could unofficially use some of the old apps with some minor hacks I think. Maybe they clamped down on it again.
I think all the people that are going to leave have left. I don't see that many people griping about anything anymore. (I browse /r/all and I mod a couple of local subreddits, but otherwise don't participate much anymore)
If you are a mod, then that’s the most kind of participating my guy
I used to be a mod of default subreddits, "my guy". I'm also the 'father' of /r/nottheonion - it was abandoned years ago and I did a reddit request and got it and built it up to 20k subs, brought on a team of mods, and when we were around 200k subs, decided to step away as my vision conflicted with the rest of the mods, and I thought they were doing a good job, so I stepped down.
I used to hang out with the reddit admins in IRC back in the day.
So compared to that, "my guy", my participation is minimal.
Would love for your mod experience to come over here!
There's a lot of growth and community organization we need at Lemmy!
I'm giving Lemmi another try recently, not sure I'm committed yet, and I wouldn't want to volunteer until then. If I'm still here in a couple of weeks, though, it means my brain has decided to stick around. :) I do like it here, it was just that reddit's endless /r/all kept me going back last time I tried Lemmy.
Well, let me ask: My goal as moderator has always been to facilitate the community's desires on how it should work, so I'm not worried about fitting in on that side of things, but how does Lemmy (or your particular instance) feel about the balance between "free speech" and hate speech / bigotry? I ask because I certainly haven't noticed any bigotry around, which is nice, but that's what I'm most interested in as a mod: Seeking out spam, off-topic, and bigotry and eliminating that; stepping in when people make personal attacks on each other to shut that down; but otherwise letting the community decide what content they want.
I think they were questioning your “otherwise don’t participate much” comment.
What did you think they were saying?
Seems like you responded to the wrong person
