The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

Fediverse users who are here because uhh privacy

i made an account on piefed social, but they block nsfw communities so that's a non-starter. Is there an index of piefed instances similar to how lemmy has join-lemmy org?

I don't mind reading their points of view. I block people that cross lines but overall I appreciate different viewpoints.

I feel like "the people who represent your views are lying to you, murder all your government officials and open the ports for invasion" isn't really a point of view worth respecting, but I never block anybody for any reason.

Ports old and new are the key. If you leave random ports open, hackers walk right in. Once inside, they pay Rogan to get him talking about like idk guys we can't hate cold water ports 'afore giving them a chance, ya know? Me no smart so I just don't know. My guest today, the lovely, blonde, independent journalist Ivanna Holodomor says that...

99% is still dumb as rocks though

Im here because I'm fucking stubborn.

I hate the Reddit app, give me back RIF and I'll abandon this place in a heartbeat. Give me a paid Reddit option to fuck the adds off and Ill take it. Ill pay $20 a month not to have to listen to you neckbeards to try and make literally every conversation about capitalism, linux or Trump.

Bunch of one note ass motherfuckers, you think I dont know the world sucks? I want some escapism for fuck sake.

What about the ones that came here to avoid censorship elsewhere, but got banned here instead? Turns out lemmy.world and lemmy.ml don't like free speech.

You are free to host an instance with any rules you like, also lemmy is generally ok with Luigi posting

.world, from what I’ve seen, basically says “don’t be a dick or deny atrocities, which leads us back to point 1. Also no piracy.” .ml says “avoid criticizing Russia, china, North Korea, communism, communist figures, or cursing at our special little gremlins who will spew vileness at you entirely unprompted. But also don’t be a dick or deny atrocities, unless doing so interferes with any of the previously stated rules.”

I can’t see how you’d have a grievance with both, unless you’re moving politically rightward. Which I have strong opinions about.

Now imagine yourself saying that in the 1930s. They still know how to slip a prybar into the door you open just a crack.

I was born. It wasn't my choice.

Fucks sake, they've already got these asseating bots running on Lemmy?

If Trump switched to Linux capitalism would fall

The frontpage was never good, but hooo boy.
Every time I catch a peek now it's the same Am I the Asshole (they're obviously not), Am I Overreacting (My husband called me 15 different slurs, AIO????), and the same stupid AskReddit questions (Americans of Reddit, how do you feel living in a ruined country?)

I swear, back then there were bots reposting old posts and reply chains, now they must be AI generating the whole thing because all the frontpage shit is the exact same posts, following the same format, day after day.

At this point I wouldn't go back even if rolled back their shitty changes.

So you don't understand the point of federation then? It's not to have one big Reddit clone full of Reddit bullshit and Reddit corruption. It was to have countless little homes combined together to make a whole, but what we have at the moment is Reddit bullshit but worse.
