I saw the highlights of the Bills game and my hapa-senses started tingling just seeing him, sure enough he grew up in the US to a mother from Shaghai and a father from Canada.

Pretty cool & inspirational story; I'll try to post more stuff like this more often!

For those that don't know, you can only disable the footer signature on the desktop or mobile web client(in desktop mode). It's kinda of tucked away but once you login, at the top right there's a settings menu at the top right(with a cog icon) -> open the drop-down -> settings ->

Musk's gon' bill it to ya

Tired of tweeting for free? X's gonna monetize ya

Tap tap, open up the app, it's ~~free~~...

With the non-stop, cash grab of premium fees

Riding rockets, now he's starbound and sold

But he got such a grand scheme

That'll make a tweeter wonder if he’s been memed

Damn right, and he'll charge you again, 'cause he's Elon, so hes gots to win

Tweet battles with the freemium, but no matter how many cats he boxes with, he'll profit on your scene and win

Lots of variables, I just happened to see this post but I thought I could at least help you get started troubleshooting.

What device are you using? Do you get the same error if you're on a different device(Android/iOS vs desktop/laptop)

What browser or app are you using(Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Jerboa, Mlem?) If you can use a browser and open dev tools(F12) and take note of what happens(warnings/errors POST requests) when clicking on the upvote button may help the devs of the app(if you're using one) or instance maintainer figure out what's going on

Have you checked to see if the post you're trying to upvote is within your instance vs a federated post?

I'll reply if I can later, just thought I'd ask these questions to get you started. May want to check > out !/c/techsupport and/or !/c/lemmy_support to see if there are people having similar issues.

Worth checking out:

https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

It also has the ability to wipe your GDPR data for those in the EU.

As @JapanStar49 said, mass edit, don't mass delete. IMO this is just as good as a greasemonkey script at mass editing your history to remove your reddit paper trail.

If Lemmy does end up being the site that redditors migrate to, I thought I may as well set this community up before others* did. I'll get to the others* in a minute. I will likely add to this post later but I just wanted to introduce myself and why I decided to create this community.

I'm a third-generation (half)Chinese-American, my grandmother and her husband moved to the States during the Chinese Communist Revolution, they had a daughter, their daughter married a nice white guy, and then had me and my sister.

I'm 32 as of writing this, work as a full stack developer, love gaming and weeb stuff as well as College Football, travelling anywhere and everywhere though I haven't been able to the last few years and riding motorcycles just to name a few things.

This community was created for all hapas, or even if you aren't hapa; you have a friend who's hapa, kid that's hapa, or are just interested in the stories and experiences that are shared here you're welcome here. If you're a quarter Korean, 1/18th Filipino, 3/4 Taiwanese or anything that remotely falls under the blanket term of 'hapa' I encourage you to join!

I may not be the most active moderator, but if this community grows at all then anyone who's interested in helping me mod, please don't hesitate & send me a message.

Lastly, for now at least, what this community isn't:

I want this community to respect others as if they were talking to someone in real life. Which may sound difficult being a community on the internet - but all I'm asking for is that you use common sense, have an open mind, and use the golden rule. The other* community on reddit did not have these values in mind...

/r/hapa - The subreddit that I sincerely believe was run by one moderator and an army of bots. The most popular posts were always those that centered around the discussion of White Male, Asian Female relationships that had sour undertones of bitterness and hatred towards said White Males targeting Asian Females...

Other topics that I found relatable like 'How do you meet other mixed Asian people?' or stories/experiences of user's lives as a hapa, having a hapa son/daughter, and the like never gained near as much traction to the posts I described above. I questioned the moderator and was promptly banned. I spoke to other users who were banned for similar reasons and it honestly just sounds like the person who created that subreddit had a personal vendetta or other issues and used that community as a platform to discuss his views.

This community will not be anything like that.
