Root problem Is the name 'Lemmy', which is kinda lame-y.
Also bad is that we're not called Redditors but ... lemmings? Lemurs?
Almost worth changing the name.
One of those "racism isn't real" is the Chief "Justice" of the USSC
Not just that, but if I have a question about, say, Linux scripts, then I have to search fifty fucking communities names c/Linux in fifty fucking instances to find a solution.
Just because an instance has the biggest community doesn't mean it will have an answer. So I do have to look at fifty fucking instances.
I haven't seen a single viable argument that justifies this irritating and inconvenient situation except i LiKe fEdErAtIoN.
And for the federation fetishists, yes you can have federation AND one single c/Linux across instances.
If you don't want to read Linux tips from lemmy.naziLinuxUsers.com then just block that instance like you would block a nazi individual on reddit.
This problem is so ridiculously easy, but for some reason the mediocre status quo always has its ardent defenders.
False choice fallacy. Those are not the only two choices. We can look for ways for lemmy itself to help resolve the issue.

Which leads to polluted water, a blighted environment, and corporations finding ways to rule humanity. No thanks.
Oh, I saw the futility of talking to them lonnnnnnnnng ago. You might as well try to convince a christian that they're wrong. You know why that is? Because they're both cults.
In addition, there are different levels of socialism. "Some" individual ownership turns people off. "The State owns the house I worked so hard to pay off?" You can have full private ownership of your things AND have single-payer health care, top-tier public education, reining in predatory banks, etc. We want to be Norway, not Venezuela.

You beat me to it. That phrase caught my eye, too. I have been laboring for decades under that banner without having seen it put so succinctly.

What pissed me off about reddit is how it fingerprinted your machine.
If you don't know what that is, be scared. Be very scared.
That meant if some power-mad admin lording it over some subreddit blocked me for petty reasons, it would be easy to get all my other 6 alt accounts permanently banned.
F YOU for that, reddit.
Found some anti-fingerprinting defenses, which protect me at other sites, is the only silver lining.
