Where did lemmy.world come from?
Where did lemmy.world come from?
A major instance with thousands of users who are only blocking 1 other instance? And that instance is some weeb instance?
That sounds actually really cool.
Maybe lemmy really does have a shot at over taking reddit this year.
I know Ruud from Mastodon. He seems cool and legit.
I don't care about overtaking reddit, all I want is for the fascistic and discriminatory lemmy.ml to be dwarfed into irrelevance. Or become more notorious, so the number of instances that block them is steadily rising like now.
After seeing one of the reddit refugees describe Lemmy.ml as an communist server that most instances just block, I knew there was hope again.
I think that new user was in Lemmy.world. 😁
I'm not a huge fan of instance blocking especially when community blocking is usually enough but it's good people can identify extremism coming from the left too.
I love to see reddit fall apart because their mod/admin system is a broken mess and I hate having to go there but that is where most forums tend to get set up because it's free and people already have user accounts there.

Me neither, but some times people are quite unreasonable and one should have no realistic hope for coexistance. I know of several lemmy instances that got choked to death by lemmy.ml/lemmygrad and it only reinforced their grip on the lemmyverse. When one half of the lead lemmy devs hardcoded a block against using the Jerboa app with a certain instance, I understood there's no dialogue. No compromise.
Not only no coexistence but active eradication of any dissenting voice with every means reasonably available. I consider it evil.
The lemmyverse is currently in a social "revolution" due to demographic change. This should be the new normal. What happens if lemmy.ml is able to wrestle their way back as the default instance and end up in the same position again?
Irrelevance for them is better for all of us. If some or all instances block them, I don't think I could care less at this point. I would have before a certain lead dev showed how hateful they are and willing to use what they present as a gift to humanity and society as a tool of control.
I hate having to go there but
reddit is worse than Morbius.
It's weird, they're run by mastodon.world but actually seem to be embracing diversity, for now
And they are bringing a diversity of opinions to Exploding Heads which is a big plus.
Agree, Pretty much every lemmy instance has been a echo chamber until now. Which is really bad for society in general. Hope they can keep it up/open.
It's interesting to see the scene grow.
Don't be turned off by us being wild... When it comes down to it, we will sit and dialog.
Exploding-heads is on lemmy.worlds blocked list but I can still see posts from here and interact with them
