about 50% content is like this, no matter what view you select. I think /r/pics has the right idea; it is so dominating. Other subs should change their post to be like this (with their own messages) I think.
Also, what sub did spez mod in 2008?

I just wish they'd link to lemmy! It's almost pointless to just shut down for a few days and not make people use competitors.
As a mod I've been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it's simply not worth the risk. For now, I've just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.
This is actually illegal, if they ban you for that they're violating the GDPR, so i'd say let them.
Wait, how is the GDPR applicable here? I thought the GDPR was just about data protection...
GDPR is absolutely not applicable here. Their platform, their rules when it comes to what people can and can't post (with the exception of personal information, that is covered by GDPR). If tomorrow they decide that commenting the word "Banana" is a bannable offence, they're well within their rights.
All the more reason that federation is necessary in modern social media.
My bad, messed that up, edited my comment
