I'm here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That's frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

Hey at least they went with beans and not the "no poo for a month" one
No-poop guy is a deep cut. It's such a shame he deleted his account and the posts, truly deserved to remain the most upvoted post of all time.
Teach me lemmy historian!
Shortly after the Reddit API debacle three years ago and the ensuing little exodus of users from there to here some guy created an Advice Wanted post asking for dietary advice for a circumstance where he couldn't poop for three days. He was using very vague language, he was refusing to specify exactly why he couldn't poop, and he was refusing to specify exactly what he was doing for those three days. When pressed about it he said he would technically perhaps be able to poop if he really had to, but it would be much better for everyone involved if he didn't and he would really like to avoid it.
Obviously replies kept flooding in, both befuddlement, genuine advice as well as rampant speculation about what kind of activity he was to be engaging in. It also took over the meme communities for a good while, and I think it was still the most upvoted post of all time here when he deleted it (and his account).

Thanks dude!
