I'll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was "Kitty."

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of "if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!" or there's some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

There's a user here, who was '101' at reddthat, then piefed, then feddit.org, and was 911 at lemmynsfw, and is currently 911 at programming.dev, who posts a bunch of articles over a week or so, then deletes their account and moves on to another instance. They're up to something, surely. (the only real downside to this behaviour - that I can think of - is that new instances won't be able to get their posts, because Lemmy doesn't return posts for deleted users)

What does this mean? What is 101 and 911? I understand 101 to be the basic information of a course and 911 to be the number for emergencies. I’m trying to understand what you wrote here.

Sorry - I meant that it's literally the username they've used. They've used the word '911', like you've used the word 'windyrebel'.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Understood. Thanks for the explanation!

I can see instance shopping to find the perfect one, a week is about how long it takes to get a good sense of the local community. Too bad about the lost content though.
