  • Oh, there's plenty of toxicity on Lemmy, but it's been fairly successfully isolated to the offending Instances due to active admins. Hopefully that keeps up.

  • When you're selecting languages, try holding ctrl when clicking the ones you want. It should allow you to select more than one.

  • "Attempted murder" seems appropriate

  • Just subscribe to all of them if you're that worried about missing something. It's really not that complicated.

    Also, stop worrying about reenacting your Reddit experience. Lemmy is not Reddit. Figure out what you like about Lemmy and focus on enhancing that instead of stressing about forcing Lemmy into your preconceived notion of what it should be.

  • How is that different from how subscriptions work now, other than adding one more thing to click to get to your "list" to add a subscription?

  • "But this one affected 'Asians'! Oh, and white people, but that's totally not what we're focusing on." - these people

  • The biggest pain is when a guy who posts news I love just boost the crap out of everyone. No, I want to see his articles, not how much he likes that person’s cat pictures.

    One of the biggest things I dislike about Twitter, too. I don't care what these people retweet or whatever. I want to see their posts. It's a pain in the ass to navigate through a flood of retweets.

  • Sounds about right. I always saw Skullgirls as a pervy, problematic fighting game. Figures the fanbase (and those that just see it as an opportunity to rile people up) would be in that category. Cool to see the devs taking steps to address it, though.

  • Better than being flooded with bots.

  • I don’t find the “need” / fomo to visit

    I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. Reddit is purposefully designed to hold your attention, just like every other corporate social media platform. They have a monetary incentive to do so. Lemmy doesn't, and hopefully never will.

  • I remember when the sale dates were a mystery. There was more excitement to the expectation and wondering than there is just waiting for a specific day.

  • I think the question is more if you like the term.

  • That part does seem to be true, and yeah, it's not great. As far as I can tell, though, nothing about their ideology can really affect Lemmy. If it wasn't open source, or was flooded with ads to monetize it, I would probably be in the anti-lemmy camp. But (so far) that's not the case, and as long as that remains true, I don't see much of a problem with the platform as a whole.

    Ironically, Lemmy being decentralized like it is is pretty antifascist. Not gonna try to parse out how fascist sympathizers justified that in their world view, but I'm not complaining.

  • Am I missing something? They're specifically saying the opposite of what you said - that the Holocaust happened and that white genocide isn't real. The statement "Are you a white genocide denier?" is mockery, not an actual inquiry.

  • Obviously not. There are none.

  • It's an old game, but I believe in you. You'll beat it some day! (/s)

  • Lemmy isn't one server room. I'm not gonna pretend to know enough about it too understand how a million new users would affect the platform as a whole, but if they are spread across instances as intended (which hasn't worked perfectly so far, admittedly), things should be ok.

  • Now I wanna play a paladin/warlock that screams their patron's/diety's name in battle whilst throwing a moltov, a la Jason from The Good Place.

  • Huh, I hadn't noticed that before. Definitely gonna be the focus of some unstable people I'm sure.
