Uploading avatars/banners is broken at this moment. Didn't try posting images.
Request error: error sending request for url (http://10.114.0.3:8080/image): operation timed out
Well, that's my unpopular opinion 😉
Unlike content in let's say Facebook, there is a wealth of knowledge in Reddit that is indexed by search engines, covering a plethora of topics. Removing that knowledge will hurt people searching for that info, while hardly affecting Reddit. Erasing all traces of that content removes the opportunity to tell Redditors and visitors alike about what Reddit had done, and where the authors of that useful content had moved.
I already argued this in OP.
Yes, that was one of my proposals in OP, to append info about moving to Lemmy at the end of comments, but without removing their original content.
I didn't and wouldn't be using the word protest btw, because we are supposedly past that now! We are done with Reddit for good, supposedly! We just want people to know where we moved!

"looks like a bunch of instances are under attack at the moment"
Which is not explained by .ml
fiasco, it is worth pointing out.
And how will people know that there was a protest, and more relevantly, that anything of value has been lost?
More like success exceeded my expectations.
that means I cannot redirect anyone here by any means.
Forgot to mention, as I already alluded to, you can submit a post to your profile mentioning your full/partial move to Lemmy/kbin. Then in the post page trigger "make announcement" and "pin to profile".

Is this a word?
Neither the person who contacted you was a real user of that instance, nor their "concern" was legitimate.
Congrats. You got successfully manipulated. And opened yourself up for further future manipulations.
