Fuck reddit.

feddit.it, prepare yourself for the influx of new members.

Also, can we "appreciate" how idiotic the word filter is? You don't even need to choose between false positives (e.g. "Luigi's Mansion" gets flagged) and false positives (e.g. people say "LM" and it doesn't get flagged), you got both at the same time.

(BTW if you want to avoid Reddit word filters, just mix some Cyrillic letters into your word. I bet that "Luigi" gets flagged but "Luіgі" doesn't. I used this a lot while trolling in Reddit.)

Mario's brother, a good plumber (takes the shit out).

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 5 points 2 days ago

People can just use Mario's bro and if they censor Mario then Nintendo's green bro. I wonder if people will use this opportunity to make Nintendo a word that ends up having to enter review.

Reddit protip

Add the special referal code "Luigi" to your posts to get extra engagement and feedback from prominent and influential Reddit members!

I mean, if used as a verb, yeah....I've had to ban quite a few people who were calling for actual violence. That shit don't fly on an instance I'm legally responsible for.

Please let them know they can migrate to midwest.social, where calling for the murder of CEOs is both acceptable and just plain good manners. Thanks!
