TIL the first movie about the sinking of the Titanic premiered only 31 days after she sank, and was written by an actress who survived the sinking, who also starred in it. She later had a nervous breakdown and never acted again.

        Lemmy is more trigger-happy with downvotes in my experience. And way worse at getting jokes and understanding sarcasm. It’s pretty interesting actually.

        Maybe I may be used to reddit and a little sore because I got banned for being a bot for posting to much. But and hope you are with me that I am not a bot or spamming or whatever.

          Maybe you don’t get the title perfect every time, but you provide a lot of content that’s the sort of stuff I went to reddit for, and I appreciate you!

            Don’t know if your being sarcastic or what but as a major wikiphile I do my best to educate people hopefully the Mods can see it and not ban me for being overly active or call me spamming or whatever. And I appreciate your input. …No sarcasm.

              Hi there, mod here. I want to acknowledge that you appear to not be a spam bot, just some decent dude who wanted to make some posts.

              I appreciate you wanting to contribute. Would you do me a small favor and slow it down a bit? You’re getting a lot of reports. I recommend quality over quantity. Take the time to double check your titles. Keep it to like single digits a day for a bit. Avoid reposting topics. Etc.

              That’ll all go a long way, rest assured.

              I wouldn’t worry too much about it whatever the case. Between interpreting a comment as one full of positivity VS one that is potentially sarcastic, I would interpret it as a positive comment 100% of the time. I mean, why not? Thanks for sharing!
