  • Y’know what, you’re right, but in an ideal federated world, it is probably for the best if people branch out further than just the top 10 as well. The instance I’m on probably is not even within the top 50, but it’s fast, performant, and has all my subscriptions. Not sure about the admins, but I also have alts on lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works in case this instance goes bust.



  • If you don’t like hearing people you disagree with talk about those things, you should be going to do something else rather than rudely trying to make them shut up. Even from the perspective that you just want to challenge this user about the appropriateness of how they are expressing their opinions and frustrations,

    I have nothing against anyone who wants to bring up issues, but the way one brings up the issues should be taken into account. Anyone who tries to get their point across by spamming GitHub issues automatically loses points in my book.

    Is this acceptable in your book? Are you defending this action? It certainly is not acceptable in mine, and the reason why I called the user out on it.

    I understand if you take offense at the way I came across the user in question, but when they repeatedly bring up their pain as a response, it is only logical that I ask them to refrain from actions that cause them pain. It’s one thing to have to go through pain for basic life-sustaining tasks, like eating, drinking, or even physiotherapy, but if your brain hurts typing on a social media forum, which you repeatedly refuse to cease, then you have no sympathy from me. Lemmy, or even Reddit for that matter is not a basic living requirement.

    you are going too far and behaving inappropriately yourself with all the personal attacks.

    What personal attacks?

    Just leave it alone and if they are saying things that you feel need to be addressed just report and move on.

    Likewise, if you have an issue with what I said, go ahead, report and move on. If I broke any instance rules, I’m sure the responsible admins will be swift in delivering the appropriate response.


  • On the Internet, you can search. Instead, you go all “WTF” ranting.

    You’re the one that brought it up, you can’t even be bothered to explain why?

    No, it isn’t logical at all. People have set up Lemmy instances to 'fork" Reddit, and nobody comes. Why set up one more social media site nobody will use because audiences actually seek out what is popular. You seem to think code is all that matters, that quality actually attracts audiences. I suggest teachers like Neil Postman, they really spell this all out. The audience has to develop self-awareness of their compulsive media behaviors. Huxley was far more right than Orwell.

    If your fork maintains the ActivityPub protocol, what’s the issue? Again you keep bringing up more authors without explaining your reasons for doing so. Do you lack the capability to think for yourself, so you have to idolize authors that have long since passed?



  • Neil Postman

    No, why should I know who he is? How is he relevant to how Lemmy is run? How are my replies relevant to whatever Neil Postman wrote? Can you elaborate?

    “Fork it”, “wtf”, you like simplistic answers to difficult problems. Clearly you would not spend hundreds of hours testing fLemmy and watching the developers before posting something like I did this past few days. It’s really sad to see your total faith and blind faith in action.

    Well, your efforts clearly did not achieve your desired results, so forking the project, and starting your own Lemmy-alternative seems like the logical next step no?

    I can see why you might have never read something from Neil Postman and responded as if it was off-topic to social media applications and their cultures.

    Again, why do you keep bringing up American authors?


  • a world where peace, love, and compassion are favored by people and people voluntarily support goodness.

    If you were, you wouldn’t be trying to incite conflict by accusing everyone of being pro-China or pro-CCP, or going off on a rant on America’s social media companies.

    It’s become clear that what bothers you so much, what you are trying to do is drive off conversation

    Well, I’m nice, I don’t want to hurt your brain further by engaging in pointless conversation with you.

    You care about the machines delivering your content. I actually care that people have self-awareness in the audience of the media they use. Not have blind faith that “fork it” actually is all that matters, and ignore teachers like Marshall McLuhan or Neil Postman who think it is important consumers of media are able to see how their own brain works instead of thinking “fork it” is all that matters, code.

    How the flying spaghetti meatball monster fuck is this relevant to your rant over how you were getting sidelined on GitHub?

    I think audiences could use a website like Wikipedia to do news, instead they favor websites like Reddiit, Twitter, Lemmy where the main focus is to sort by NEW and get FRESH “breaking news” without accuracy.

    Okay, get off Lemmy then, why are you helping the Lemmy developers to the point of hurting your brain? You are nothing but full of contradictory statements. Nothing is keeping you here, if you don’t want to be here, leave. It is that simple.
