A lot of the federation has been people groomed by reddit dropping all the social progress that site has made over the years.

None because i’m not racist.

I get you’re afraid of saying the quiet part out loud out of fear of backlash, thankfully i’m here to point that out so people don’t miss it.

Quitting smoking

• In a Source game: 😲😠

What element were you before you transitioned to fire?

EDIT: I should probably point this out, this is a joke; please don’t speculate or ask about a trans person’s pretransition identity.

Believe me, no AI wants to steal your comment.

God knows no wrath like a slightly inconvenienced and intellectually humiliated liberal.

It would be better to be able to pin comms to the top.

Stalin would visit everyone and ask for a single spoon of grain. If you were able to fill his giant spoon all the way, he would eat you alive.

A weakness of Lemmy as a platform is that I wasn’t able to see this post until after the server downtime happened.

I want so bad for them to add auto-hiding for comments from certain instances.

Facebook the company. If you included the people on the platform it’s done FAR worse than just that.

Pretty much. Beehaw has a default political ideology (neoliberalism) if you’re on that train than perfect, if not you won’t last long.

Reddit has the worst most awful userbase (it was literally created to be a hangout for pedo-nazis) but has the benefit of normal people diluting the toxic shitheads, so as long as the moderators aren’t actively suppressing a community they tend to be pretty normal on average.

Only problem is that it’s nearly impossible to find a subreddit that isn’t suppressed to shit by both the mods and astroturf bots.

If you want to see an example of how the federation fails smaller communities look no further than almost every comment section in c/vegan is full of people who are vocally and vehemently against it. There’s just nothing to stop dominant culture from flushing out the others.

The algorithm is great for serendipity but absolutely useless at protecting the more niche subjects from the most annoying comments.

There’s concerted efforts by actual nazis to shit this place up because they see it as a genuine threat.

Facebook funds terrorists.

It’s always that instance.

Places that advertise themselves as being free speech

• Expectation: You are free to say whatever you please
• Reality: Oops! All CSAM/racism and they ban on a hair
