  • Rather than removing entirely, it would be great if we had a community where we could just upload our top comments to, and then redirect users from Reddit to your comment on a Lemmy instance.

    On Reddit users would see something like:

    This has been deleted in protest of Reddit’s privacy policy. If you really want to know what was written here, please see my comment on this alternative service here: https://piefed.social/post/740543#comment_6045217

    Using pie fed here because it’s (probably?) less likely to be caught by some Reddit automod filter, I think other redditors might be attracted to it more, I’ve heard they abstract votes* to a different account from your actual account (slightly more privacy that way), and it’s good to spread out user bases among the fediverse instances.

    You could do something similar with your top posts. Just repost it to the appropriate community and then edit the post on Reddit to redirect there through pie fed.

    *Edit: Pie fed only votes with anonymous accounts for you when sharing votes with an untrusted instance. So not quite as privacy oriented as I had originally thought.


















  • I think these teens went above and beyond more than just “being kind to strangers”.

    For the next few months, those teenagers were such a great help to me. Anytime I crutch-walked past them they would ask how I was and if I needed a hand with anything. They took my bins out for me and if they saw me at the corner store, they would let me cut in line ahead of them, so I didn’t have to stand around waiting as long.

    I think my favorite quote from Richard Munoz was:

    A lot of people were kind to me during that injury experience – and a few weren’t kind at all! – but by far the most helpful were those teens.

    Stories like this absolutely have a place in the news (and especially in this community) as hopefully it inspires others to go above and beyond in being kind to strangers.
