Ha! What a white knighting tool bag

Have you tried this one?

sanctus@anarchist.nexus

Did I do something wrong? Am I not cool enough? Why didn't I make the list?

atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone

They also specifically stated they do not support transphobia

Maybe the truth is more nuanced than someone you hate is a fascist

sanctus@anarchist.nexus

That post max crash out. Homie included a way to turn it off like a company hiding the cancel subscription options and expected everyone to love it. Like bro if you want to filter everything out thats what your block list is for. Also, he plainly did not mention why it was obfuscated to such a degree and acted like it showed you everything.

Literally every person that I've ever recommended this space to irl has outright chided me for having done so. And eventually I saw that they were correct to have done so.

It did not help that (1) a Google search (remember, I'm talking to mainstream normies here, okay?) for "Lemmy" at that time returned Lemmy.ml (nowadays it shows Lemmy.world iirc, but a year or so ago it behaved differently), (2) the default sort for Lemmy.ml is different than most instances, and instead of showing Global it shows only Local, (3) combine this with fluctuations that seems to occur just before any Western election and you get a feed that is very different from what 99% of us here experience for ourselves. Unfiltered Lemmy in this manner is truly bOtH sIdEs SaMe bullshit (of the kind that lets just say discouraged voting for Kamala Harris), and virtually nothing else (again, showing LOCAL rather than GLOBAL on Lemmy.ml).

Mainstream non-technical normal folks are never going to come over to "Lemmy". It simply has too much historical baggage - and this on top of the continued toxicity still existing in the present. Just one conversation with a hexbear user... by a white, Christian, straight, centrist, "normal" (/mainstream) person is enough to send most of them back to Reddit (or sometimes Bluesky). Whereupon they bitterly complain about us here, warning others against making the same mistake. Oh and yeah they take their OC with them.

Some even stuck around here for a LONG time - like a year or more. Before they too succumbed and went back. I don't even blame them, and presume that when (not even an "if" in my mind) Donald Trump refuses to step down and this place becomes an absolute shitstorm I am very likely to do the same. Tiny Reddit subs are not the same as the large ones, whereas there are virtually no tiny ones here - at least, not enough to take more than 5 minutes a day to fully catch up on.

Incels will never learn that no means NO, rather than that they simply need to push forward even harder. At which point the issue wraps back around to us, who thereby have to answer what we will actually DO about it.

You do realize by virtue of having a blahaj account, admiral considers you one of these violent extremist leftists he shadowbans, right? You're literally going to bat for your own oppressor right now.

Fascists won't consider you one of the "good ones" no matter how much you defend them, just some food for thought.

wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I'm more than OK with weird. I love weird. I'm even ok with strong political opinions that I don't always agree with. I'm fine with Lemmy staying small in the hopes it never ends up becoming an eternal September situation.

Those aren't the issue.The problem is the violent rhetoric combined with the intense and constant bad-jacketing. Constant jumping to bad conclusions about other users and arguing against those straw men instead of trying for good faith.

At least you only jumped to the conclusion that I wanted Lemmy to stop being weird and grow unsustainably popular. I was honestly expecting someone to call me a corporate stooge or that I'm just a butthurt MAGA chud upset that Lemmy leans left-wing, then tell me to kill myself.

sudoer777@lemmy.ml

I'm not a fan of the slur filter but all it does is replace slurs with removed, which is different then hiding entire posts/users/communities.

mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works

they’re so specifically non-toxic lmao

Not my experience with aussie.zone tbh. About half of the bad apples I ran into the past few weeks have been from their instance. It was bad enough I was looking up how to block their entire instance

mirshafie@europe.pub

I call people on reddit stupid all the time, but that's because there are genuinely a lot of stupid people on reddit who appear to be ignorant of their predicament. Unfortunately I only have so much time in a day so the vast majority of stupid redditors carry on blissfully unaware.

guitarfosec@infosec.pub

Don’t forget to advocate for the Balkanization of the United States so that all of our political problems can be magically solved and I get to bring my passport and go through customs to cross the militarized Mississippi River.

atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone

I disagree with the actions of the person discussed, but i am not going to call them fascist because of something that maybe possibly kinda could make them transphobic, but has multiple possible explanations

A transphobic fascist wouldnt mention that they prohibit transphobia, at best "forget" to mention it

Not everything that is bad is fascist

heythisisnttheymca@lemmy.world

And he called it the toxic filter. Like, dudes higher on his own farts than I am on mine. That is hard

sanctus@anarchist.nexus

I finally found myself but I honestly feel like this is a list of frequent users more than anything.

greenknight23@lemmy.world

no no. he "compressed it for efficiency" /s

but really, he said that.

fucking dumbass.
