Leftists decided punishing Democrats was more important than the rights of marginalized people living in the US, so now we have Trump. Thanks leftists. You’re the reason we will have concentration camps again.

  • Lemmy only really became usable for me after I blocked certain instances/communities. Tbh if I wasn’t permabanned from Reddit I probably would have quit early on and went back to Reddit.

    This wasn’t because of UX. It’s was because some of the most active and highly upvoted instances that had posts hit All constantly were full of terrible people and idiots.

    However now that I realize how powerful that is to be able to block whole instances and curate your experience and realize that it’s basically impossible to Permaban someone from Lemmy, I’m enjoying it a lot more.

    Never put your trust in a centralized social service again. In the old days when forums were independently hosted you might get banned but you can just go and find another one or host your own.

    Everyone has gotten too used to the convenience of these centralized managed social media services like Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, etc.

    Lemmy is great because it’s offers some of the convenience Reddit does but isn’t centralized. So if you get permabanned on one instance you can just find another that fits your interests better. Or host your own and you’re not reliant on a corporation that is trying to milk you and your data for all that it’s worth for a little profit.

    I don’t use any centralized social media anymore. That shit is dead.







  • I mean most of us were acutely aware of it since November of 2016 and perhaps even before, but yeah. So far the awareness seems to be more of a punishment because we can see the train wrecks coming but can’t seem to convince the drivers of the car we’re in to actually stop parking on the tracks.

    Perhaps blissful ignorance may save our mental state.



  • I’m like your friend. F— leftists and f— conservatives. I’m a hard core liberal and y’all can suck my d—.

    I find lemm.ee is better than most but yeah as others have said, since everything is federated and the majority mass of users are hardcore leftists there’s no way to really avoid them. Just get used to the downvotes and easily offended snowflakes and instabans and hope that as more people leave the mainstream social medias for federated socials that these people will be watered down.
