Depends on the server you’re on. Lemmy found popularity when a group of communists had their subreddit(s)banned
That’s actually part of the reason why the original devs started Lemmy.

SteamOS used to use GNOME, but now it uses KDE.
Valve should have used GNOME on SteamOS so I could actually use it with the touch screen, and no on can convince me otherwise
Finally, a competitive YouTube alternative
To answer your question, it’s inertia. People need to be forced of Twitter if before they join Mastodon/Bluesky/Threads
God I can’t wait for that website to die already
Masterful gambit sir
I’m heavily interested in Bluesky, so I started [email protected]. However, Lemmy is overall pretty hostile towards Bluesky, and I’m not willing to go back to Reddit for active discussion about it.
Are there any potential repercussions for sticking a utility knife into the speaker grill?
Car-dependent suburban sprawl
My favorites:
Apparently, that account is run by a TERF who deadnames trans men and refuses to include trans women’s art.
I wouldn’t really compare Bluesky to Mastodon. Ultimately, the Bluesky team still has control over what’s allowed on the app and what’s allowed on the network until third parties launch their own AppViews and relays.
It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.
I don’t really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.
Tankies are the reason why Lemmy exists in the first place.
Lemmy is probably the best fedidiverse project so far and it’s not even close
The hyperbole isn’t what I care about.
Going up to people who are publicly considering withholding their vote over Biden’s handling of the situation in Gaza, calling them irrational, and demanding they do something they believe is against their morals is “asshole behavior.” It’s almost like you’re saying “the issue you care enough about that your willing to risk a second Trump term doesn’t matter to me.” This behavior is often referred to as “vote-scolding.”
I will probably still vote for Biden, but I understand why other won’t, and I don’t think he should be evaluated only in comparison to Trump.
People here just downvote anything they don’t like even if it’s in its own community
