  • I used to create new accounts and pick up some karma on those freekarma4you subs and similar, where people upvote eachother just for karma.

    Last time I did this, recently, the account (which was brand new) was shadow banned in multiple different subs that I used to participate, without having had any prior activity on those subs at all.

    I can only imagine there is some kind of auto filter shadow banning accounts which post on these karma subs that mods or admins are using now. So it will be even harder for newer accounts to participate, I honestly don’t know how I’d have managed to get karma to comment on any sub any other way.










  • No you don’t need the terminal in most distros meant for desktop use to install software. Your distro will have a GUI app store, then flatpak and snap which are the most common software repositories after your distro’s default also have GUI. You can use the terminal because it is literally faster, you don’t have to if you lack cognitive ability to write apt install gimp or some shit.




  • Man do you know how many instances exist? I hate this idea of trying to coordinate defederation across all bigger instances all at once. You have the option of migrating to an instance which is already defederated from them, or hosting your own instance and defederating from whoever you want. You can also mute them. Don’t come to a decentralized network with the expectation of imposing centralized decision making behaviour?
