Anyone think he'll want to take over the rest of Mexico and make it part of America?

No, they can sort of interact with each other, but the data structure and the functions of the sites are different. Mastodon is Microblogging like Twitter, and Lemmy is a Link-aggregator/Forum type platform.

It's been broken for a while, the devs haven't really worked on it. It may be fixed in the future but it's likely it won't ever be touched again.

These should probably be added as extra default themes to the Lemmy software as a whole, that way they'll be in all instances for accessibility purposes, not just a single instance.

Just don't use Reddit's app. I feel like that should go without saying but there are people who are unaware of how much spyware is packed into that piece of garbage.

It also has VPN bypass mechanisms built-into the app. It's not good to install this.

Anyone advocating the use of the official app is either an idiot or a shill.

It takes much less if you don't use their app, all browser based tracking implementations use Cookies, and IP address (usually for aggressive ban evaders).

Their app contains much more aggressive tracking techniques, including a VPN bypass, so I wouldn't install it on your device at all. It's better to use the mobile site on Firefox with ublock origin, possibly with OldLander and RES to make the mobile site more usable.

Reddit uses browser cookies to identify people uniquely, they do that in addition to using the IP address associated which they may not always use to initiate a ban of the account.

Use a browser like Mullvad browser with a VPN or Tor browser to create and access a new account.

Also never use the Reddit official app, it has way more trackers than possible in a browser including a VPN bypasser built-in.

Also and this might be obvious, don't use an email associated with any previous accounts. That's a low hanging fruit they target easily.

FYI this smacks of terf rhetoric, the same nonsense about trans women assaulting people in bathrooms, when unfortunately the reality is that they are more likely to be physically or sexually assaulted.

Also aren't you the same person who ran [email protected]?

[–] Draconic_NEO 1 points 3 weeks ago

You're very welcome.

Because advocating running people over totally isn't encouraging violence 🙄

Could probably be patched back in if you really need it or want it. Linux is open source after all.
