I, for one, welcome our new toilet-watching overlords

Honest question, why isn't your clubhouse over at lemmygrad enough?

1. They basically say they are, and also run explicitly tankie instance lemmygrad.ml
2. Look at the modlog for lemmy.ml. Among other things, anytime someone has an opinion about China who isn't Chinese it's "Orientalism"

Damn they really hate their users

The curse of the zombie hot posts strikes again!

Reported. This sub isn't allowed to give feels (/s)

If we comment enough, we could get this zombie thread stuck in the 'Active' feed

Lemmy's default sort is "Active" - which I believe is "most recent comment activity"

The classic reddit experience is most like the "Hot" sort option.

Lemmy's other weird default is the "feed" which can be all, local, and following. Lemmy defaults to "local", which is probably not what you want (chronological feed of posts on your home server)

Also highly recommend "blocking" communities if you don't want to see their content. (Mostly important if you browse the "All" or "local" feeds)

Homie I'm sorry that happened.

You might want to do some research on:

• verbal abuse
• narcissistic parent
• low self esteem

This is what I wish someone else told me.

Good luck on your journey

This sickeningly glowing profile means we're about 1-2 years out from the big scandal breaking, probably involving illegal use of funds and some weird sex stuff. I bet there's a bunch of drugs behind the scenes too, based on how hard they're pushing that sober shit

Assumption 1: Meta / Mark Z are objectively untrustworthy

Assumption 2: The Fediverse is a threat to the entire internet advertising machine

Assumption 3: Threads will be a hospitable place for right wing hatemongers. Therefore, federating with it exposes our most vulnerable users and communities to a deluge of (often invisible) hate and harassment.

Assumption 4: Most of the ways that they could use their billions of users and army of programmers to slowly choke us off would go through federation

I think if you believe all four of those assumptions defederation is the clear choice

So far almost exclusively on nsfw specialized instances, with lemmynsfw.com being the largest.

Those in pursuit of pure science would probably be best served by creating an account directly on that instance
