I was active on a particular sub and got worried that I might have accidentally posted personal info that could make me easier to track down. I asked the mods to delete all of my content from their sub, and they did. they removed everything using the "purge-user" bot.

Suddenly, my account was security-locked, and I was asked to update my email address and password! The problem was that when the security lock was applied, the system replaced the email I had been using with an old, deleted Tutanota email that I no longer used! I had to pay for a Tutanota subscription to recover that email and receive emails from Reddit.

After doing all that and finally updating my email and password, my account was still locked. I submitted appeals several times, but nothing worked.

Family and home.

There was a time when I had to live on the streets, away from my family, against my will. And during that time, I realized just how many blessings I’d had without even appreciating them.

Social media was great in its early days I think! When it was mainly about helping people connect with others they didn’t know... It was an exciting idea! But it started to take a turn for the worse when the owners of these platforms wanted to expand and reach more people. They began doing anything, even harmful things, to get users to spend more time on the platforms and become dependent on them.

Algorithms now recommend more content that plays on people’s emotions, especially fear and anger! Platform owners made it possible for anyone to become a digital creator and earn money, which led creators to publish anything, even misleading information. Short and fast-paced content spread everywhere, and the original purpose of social media was lost.

An old job where transportation literally cost me half my salary.

Porn site founders: We’re gonna build a porn site!

Open source platform founders (Mastodon, Python, Lemmy): Let's name it after an animal and make it our logo!

XHamster founders:

​I worked with a manager who lived by the rule "everyone is replaceable"! Whenever conflict happened between employees, he would simply let them go, or fire one of them, instead of trying to resolve the conflict, completely ignoring the team chemistry and the dynamic they had built, as well as the time it would take to hire and train someone new from scratch. Sometimes, he’d even pull someone from a completely different department just to fill the gap. He didn't believe in specialization at all! To him, anyone could be dumped into any position, it's as simple as that!

I think this is because many religions convince their followers that they are the center of the uni, and that the sun, mountains, animals, and birds were all created to serve them. In contrast, non-religious people are much more likely to see the bigger picture, that they are simply part of nature.

​Also, some religions like Islam for example, treat dogs as something to be avoided. For example, there's a Hadith that says: "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture"! So that is the case with Islam, since I come from a Muslim background.

Admitting a mistake and fixing it generally earns respect, whether you are a leader or not. But that mistake shouldn't have led to something horrible, like someone's death, and we must make sure that it was unintentional!

Interestingly, law is considered a more effective deterrent for immoral people than religion itself!

Reddit's filter is one of the stupidest things I have seen on the whole platform! It almost does not delete anything except posts/comments that have no issues!

The manager was the company owner himself. I stayed there for about 15 months, saved up some money, and then handed in my resignation.

There’s no way for a person to learn other than making a lot of errors, or talking to people who got scammed to understand how it happened. As long as we’re alive, until we die, we’ll keep learning.

The entire r/Lemmy has been banned too!

Thanks! The community is https://lemmy.world/c/egypt

I would love to start reviving it. I DMed the owner btw, since I hadn't yet. Let me know what you think, and take your time!

I have been opening Lemmy for about two months now, browsing the communities and reading users’ comments, and yesterday I decided to create an account.

Honestly, as someone who has only been on Reddit since 2018, I am curious to know what Reddit looked like in its early years, and Lemmy is a really good opportunity for that.

The content is limited? One day Reddit’s content was limited too and then it grew! + Platforms and communities don’t grow on their own. they grow because of the people in them.

Aww - Unpopular Opinion - No Stupid Questions - General Discussion

The best thing about Reddit is that it lets you mute any community you don't like, and you can even block notifications and your timeline from giving you recommendations or suggestions altogether. So honestly, with all these features, Idk how anyone could still have a problem with certain communities existing!

Honestly, I don't see any reason for weebs to like the Japanese language other than their love for Japanese anime, which is immensely popular. I actually have a close friend who speaks Japanese sentences, even though the language is completely different from our language, and learning any language, especially Asian ones, is very difficult! But being passionate about a language and surrounding yourself with it makes it much easier.

Even though I don't really want to get a pet because I don't want to get too attached and end up heartbroken when it dies! If I ever change my mind, I'd get a dog. I also really like owls in general, but I don't want to get a bird just to keep it locked in a cage for the rest of its life just because I want to feel like Harry Potter lol!
