  • PSA: Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy

  • Oh they're absolutely tankies, dessalines website is crystal clear on that. To me this is simply a test of the fediverse. If it works as intended, the devs political orientation shouldn't matter. We'll see.

  • That blue light thing is pseudo-science. Bodily activity though, yup, that's a big one.

  • It seems that those of us who look beyond the hype are a minority. Lemmy has potential but also serious problems. Bots are an obvious one, meta and co invading sooner or later is another. Tankies are something that we need to keep talking about and keep an eye on any politically influenced moderating, esp. on lemmy.ml

  • Indeed. Email is a good analogy to explain the federation principle, not to argue about the finer details. But going along with it, spam email is being blocked. Whole IP ranges are blocked ("defederated") by spam filters, because otherwise, good grief...

  • We absolutely do not need meta. The fediverse is doing just fine. There must be exactly zero tolerance for their likes. Nothing, absolutely nothing good can come from meta if you have been paying any attention at all. They do not benefit users, they milk them.

    As the saying goes...

    KILL IT BEFORE IT LAYS EGGS

  • The downvoting is part of the joke (:

  • cool

  • We have socialism in europe and it's pretty great. Just leave us alone with forced upon communism before we're technologically ready.

  • :'|

  • Exactly. Those are the kinds of personalities that can commit atrocities.

    At least lemmy wasn't started by tankies... oh wait.

  • See my response to the other person.

  • Conspiracy? One of the devs has a website where he literally openly denies the Uyghur genocide, Tiananmen square massacre, "Mao did nothing wrong", "Ukrainians are Nazis", denies every single critique of USSR and China, and a whole lot of other vile shit. Read for yourself: https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/socialism_faq.md#did-mao-kill-millions-of-people

    This is the real test of the fediverse. Can software written by a piece of shit like that exist without being influenced by their garbage political views?

    I think it's possible and I like Lemmy to thrive but it's important to keep an eye out for tankies and to not close your eyes to the reality of who started this.

  • While that is true, I anticipate that as a user you can choose to block all of that, just like I could have a reddit experience without r/conservative and without ads. We will always be able to find our niches, the size of which is determined by how many people share your values.

    That being said, it's indeed up to us to make sure the largest communities don't end up on some weird fork that has ads.

  • The way it works in practice is that the largest instances are where most people go. What is stopping those devs from imposing their views on the community, e.g. by censoring?

  • You leave reddit because the ceo introduces shitty pricing but you don't mind the main devs being literal fascists?

  • Lemmy.World Announcements @lemmy.world

    Can no longer post. What happened?

  • I think that's everyone. And nobody else cares.

  • What switches you on?

  • That's an interesting thought... haven't considered that!

    If my instance were to go offline, do the posts/comments stay visible by the other instances?

  • Lemmy.World Announcements @lemmy.world

    Filtering out posts/comments by keywords?

  • Ahh! No (android) mobile app is yet able to access kbin, right?

  • Lemmy.World Announcements @lemmy.world

    How can I block all Lemmygrad content? As a user can I block an instance? Are there instances that already block them?
