EDIT: @[email protected] shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
You can’t save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I’d be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit’s mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.
The biggest hope I have is those that migrate over leave the reddit jokes on reddit. We don’t need a million comments about the guy with broken arms, swamps of dagobah, poop knife et al. flooding lemmy.
What the hell have you been seeing? Mine’s totally not that
i think it takes get permabanned to actually come here, they are addicted to reddit, simply because of all the trump trash worldnews/political post there, and news is like a narcotic, because these 2 genre, and adjacent subs are almost always on the front page. even the salty r/conservative is on the front page alot. the permaban people that are constantly evading bans are usually the ones trying to earn a living through OF, or advertising by posting en masse, usually with the help of privacy browsers, proxies, new devices,etc. funny how reddit is only going after them any evader aggressively, but doing nothing about the troll farm bots.
