It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

unless you enter .ml environment...

Or hexbear, Lemmygrad.ml, hilariouschaos, and [edit: false stuff removed] maga.place.

Lemmy definitely has its dark corners.

lemmytoday isnt conservative, i havnt even noticed one, most of the actual conservatives have largely been defederate long time ago. also they wouldnt survive on a small platform anyways, because of how little interactions they get.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Thank you for correcting me. I edited my comment to indicate that it was maga.place.

I really do not understand all the .ml hate. If you have it so much why are you using their technology (Lemmy)? So much bullshit being reposted as fact. Basically echo chamber brigading. I left Reddit to escape this shit…

Edit: although judging by your post history you lack conviction and joke about everything, so maybe I missed the mark

Of you hate it so much, why are you using their technology?

Oh boy, this isn’t a question you want being asked of people (yourself included).

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Really reeks of "if you hate capitalism why do you participate in it?"

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That’s why I’m advocating for people to switch to piefed and stop donating to the lemmy project which funds .ml.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s why

Which is? I’m still missing something here.

Piefed is a derivative of Lemmy. So you’re not getting away from it.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And Lemmy is a derivative of Reddit so by your logic you haven’t escaped from it.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Lemmy isn’t compatible with Reddit. Piefed is literally implementing Lemmy’s data structures to specifically be compatible with Lemmy.

So since your stated goal is counter to reality, I have to wonder what your real intent is. I only see this drama as weakening Lemmy and Piefed by extension, not strengthening anything.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world -1 points 1 week ago

Right.

Any disagreement must be state sponsored shill bots.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unfortunately the "attitude" system makes Piefed unusable.

[–] r4venw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whats the "attitude" system?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

PieFed keeps track of how many upvotes and downvotes you give, displays that on your profile and if you downvote too much it takes away your downvote button. That happened to me after a weekend of use. This is Lemmy. There's a lot here that needs downvoting.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Are you downvoting to disagree or are you downvoting because it’s not contributing to the conversation?

[–] Snoopy@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Here is the full explanation :)

The full explanation is the same thing. Your context adds nothing.
