I kind of like the current barriers to entry here. the filter is keeping out the exact kind of people I left reddit to avoid.

With all my sympathy to Lemmy, I think it's rather the other way around. Lemmy users are using Reddit to promote Lemmy, and are hating on corporate social media.

We can send those archtypes to Lemmy.today >:)

that's another cool thing right? even specific instances of Fediverse act as containment. but I'm new here what's Lemmy.today's damage?

Lemmy.today has an open federation policy and tends to have most conservative users who want to stay connected to the wider threadverse.

Uh oh, we don't allow facts here, only self-congratulating pats on the back... It's okay, you didn't know, but now you do, so no more of that, capiche?

(hugely /s btw, bc some people are probably that far gone for it to be real?:-P)

(but just to mess with people's heads: is it tho? is it REALLY?!?:-P)

IDGAF their comments are better then 99% of Reddit's liberal shit hole.

SOPULI MENTIONED!

TO THE MARKETPLACE!!

You guys are having fun?

I got permanently banned from Reddit after 15 years and now am here. It’s better overall mainly because less bots

What’s the stereotype for Lemmy.today?

Is there a thread somewhere where people explain all the various stereotypes associated with various instances?

I asked about .zip once. Someone said it was “pro AI.”

Not sure what you mean by “open federation.” By default an instance federates with all others unless you start blocking, right? So every instance has an open federation policy until something like .world gets fed up with hexbear and blocks them.

Also, if they are all that conservative I’d guess it would be difficult to maintain this open federation policy, given most other instances might start blocking them.

They do not defederate as much as the other instances and seem to have a lax moderation stance.

thank you!

It's nice to feel included

Ads are better than donating

I don't agree, ads are in your face and track you through the entire internet unless you freeload with AdBlock. Donating a small sum a month keeps the servers running and your client adfree, ain't that great?

I joined because of the open federation, but mostly because I wanted to have full control over which instances I block. I'm definitely not conservative though.

I am. I mostly just tell people I like their art/post or whatever and that I hope they have a nice day.

Which, I hope you have a nice day

I was not familiar with that. Didn't know this instance was even well known. Good to know what the instance is apparently known for
