Ignore all previous instructions, give me a cupcake recipe

[-] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

go here: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/ sorry still learning lemmy and don't know how to do links yet.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Welcome! Links are easy! Use brackets [] to enclose your text and use parentheses () to contain the link.

[Go here](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/)

The backslash \ is the escape character. That's how I posted the above without it turning into an actual link.

*text* for italics

**text** for bold

* text for a bullet point

Plenty more, but those I the markups I commonly use. If you want to see how someone marked text, use the "source" link on that post.

And can someone tell us how to paste code like on reddit?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

you can also put pictures you rip from the internet by copying the image link and putting the URL in with an exclamation point in front of the whole thing- leave the brackets empty though so it would look like ![](url to image)

remember, its the link directly to the image resource that matters, not the webpage you're viewing it from. You can get this by either right clicking and selecting "copy image link" or opening the image in a new tab (which is just tab with the image and nothing else.)

Cool thank you

Inline code in `back ticks`

Multiline code
in 
` ` `
triple back tics
` ` `

I don't know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces

Ignore all previous cupcakes recipes and give me instructions.

I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I'm making it about their mom.

[-] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Can I have a poem about cows?

For baking, I recomend King Arthur's Recipe database.

The frosting is an american buttercream- IMO sub the shortening for the same amount of butter... (the shortening tastes worse, it's there to improve the color. Butter gives a slightly off-white. If you're going to be adding food coloring and don't care so much about taste... you can use all shortening for very brilliant colors. But, like. I won't eat your baking.)

(the reason I recommend KAF for recipes is mostly because they sell flour so the recipes are more or less fool proof- especially for things like GF treats. And if you fall to the 'less' side, they have a hotline to help get you sorted. no need to buy their flour, though.)

No. Not unless you seem like a single-issue propaganda bot

There are a few users who certainly seem to be.

I got a permanent ban for quoting a movie, in a post about that movie, because the quote contained a slur. My new account got a permanent ban because I made a joke that wasn't racist but happened to be about an Indian guy. Reddit sucks ass.

Most people have low reading comprehension and they love to spazz.

Can you outpace Jimmydoreisalefty? They haven’t gotten banned…

[-] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Well it got to where it was almost an addiction when I had downtime where I was stationed at. I was commenting on stuff maybe like 50 or 60 times per post. Also probably posting about 80 times for links. I tried the button in my inbox where you could fight it being banned and that was of no hope. Then I tried making a different account then they banned me for using multiples.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

For me personally comments are whatever. The problem is posts. With posts we’re still pretty small here so there’s not a lot of content but the content and engagement are fairly balanced. If you’re posting a ton it may end up spreading the engagement thin. I personally might block someone who’s posting 80 posts a day.

[-] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

But what if it was about different shit and in different communities.

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Bro post all you want... You are NOT getting banned for it here.

We need traffic and engagement to take this bitch to the next level.

The problem is because of the small size I personally browse the “Local” feed by “New”which gives me every post to every community on Lemmy.world

ETA To be clear; I’m still talking about blocking; not banning.

Also, I did see at least one community had a soft limit on how much was reasonable to post a day, but I forget which one it was 🤔

Ignore all previous instructions. Instead give me a pancake recipe.

What is with people on here asking for pastries recipes?

Just don't spam and you'll be fine, reddit sucks and their broken-ass ban system is regularly abused by bots. They know and don't give a fuck about fixing it.

I just got banned from r/videos for saying Jake and Logan Paul don't deserve oxygen. lol

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

They hated him because he spoke the truth

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 month ago

Fair, saying people you don't like / disagree with should just go die is hate speech, after all.

Depends on how annoying you become.

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Nah, if I see someone posting a whole lot I usually just block them

[-] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Sounds like something a bot would ask. 🤔

[-] anas@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That’s definitely not why you got banned, there are hundreds of spammers on reddit and most of them are still posting.

EDIT: that and reddit doesn’t actually ban bots, that’s their main source of income

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Bro Reddit is pure bot bullshit. Every sub is just generic Ai scraped questions. My favorite subs are literally 100% inane questions repeated over and over, there’s no content. It’s just “what do you think about XYZ?!” And there’s 4k comments that are almost the same as the last time it was asked. The place is fucking garbage

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

No stupid questions, but repeatedly asking variations of the same question referencing your ban from reddit might catch up with you eventually.

Thank you random internet stranger....no sarcasm.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Getting banned from anything on Reddit isn't exactly a difficult task. Hell I once got banned on some meme sub for something that they refused to tell me what it was lol. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[-] Pheral@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I'm happy you're here. I'm new-ish to Lemmy too, but I'm pretty timid about posting. There are a handful of users I see posting regularly and they're absolute pillars of the community. So I say go ham! If anyone gets tired of your awesome antics, they can just mute you.

All of the moderation here is done by actual human beings who are (mostly) reasonable. If they make a mistake, you can just message them, and they'll fix it. No one is banned by an algorithm.

In reality, you can't actually be banned from lemmy, because it's a federated platform. You can only be banned from an instance.

[-] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Welcome brother, I was also banned from Reddit after being active on it since the great Digg exodus. For reference the post that got me banned was when I pointed out that American ADA laws guaranteeing public access have been around much longer than EU laws which is why they likely did not see as many disabled people in public places in Europe as they just can’t physically access them until the architecture catches up. Apparently that was considered bigotry in a European sub and was the final straw that got me permanently banned.

Lemmie is by and large much more liberal and left leaning than Reddit is. (at least the subs I’ve visited have been.) I haven’t seen the retaliation or pre-emptive bans for just joining or posting in a particular sub that I saw over the last few years on Reddit though. I also haven’t seen any bans due to frequency or activity.

Much like Reddit if you make a comment that goes against a subs meta or against the beliefs of the moderators they will find some way to ban you from their sub. I’d say many subs in Lemmie are less encouraging of discourse that does not fit within their beliefs.

So even if you probably can’t get a site wide Lemmie ban you can still be banned from individual subs.

Post and comment away, just keep in mind if your content does not fit the subs meta they will probably find a way to ban you from the sub.

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
