It can be bought by a billionaire. I think we need to be careful thinking this risk doesnโ€™t exist.

โ€œWe can just make another instanceโ€ - this wonโ€™t happen like people think it will. If all the content is on Lemmy.world and it gets bought, then people are going to be hesitant to move somewhere else, just like people are hesitant to leave Reddit now.

I have blocked content from lemmy.world altogether and have so much fun. Go try it, leave the bubble.

I'm on lemmy.world through Boost, but have lots of communities from fediverse and other Lemmy's and whatnot (still learning how it all works).

What is wrong with lemmy.world and what do you recommend?

[โ€“] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Similar rules to Reddit. You can get busted for saying โ€œeat the richโ€ because itโ€™s supposedly a call for violence.

Shouldn't this be posted on other socials instead of Lemmy?

Feel free to, but also be ready to see your post removed anc your account banned

[โ€“] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Already got banned for pro Luigi posting.

Also has barely any community, is leaning deep into praising authoritarian countries, is gloryfying violence and has huge moderation issues. You can make everything sound good, but lemmy will never be a true alternative. It will grab a wave of people, lose it till the next controversy pops up and the cycle will repeat. Till there is an actual alternative that becomes available. Same as with Mastodon and Bluesky

leaning deep into praising authoritarian countries,

Like... more than Reddit? Do you have some examples so we can see which countries you think are authoritarian? Some... groups... believe Canada is authoritarian.

Praising Russia, praising China is a norm here. We don't need to point to people who go "no you"

[โ€“] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've never seen anyone praising Russia here. I've seen critical support for the CCP and USSR but that is not the same thing. Critical being the operative word implying that people are recognizing the merits of those governments without offering them full support. Shades of Gray my friend.

[โ€“] Maalus@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Then you haven't been paying attention, plain and simple. Full on Russia praise, full on China praise, with both countries unable to do wrong. Revieionist history. Gaslighting. Plenty of it around.

Can I have links to people saying these things? Just genuinely curious because ive not seen anything like this either

[โ€“] Maalus@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

... Seriously? Links to shit that's happening everywhere? Just go to a random thread about Ukraine, Poland or similar. An example from a week ago:

Fair take there.

will never be

Heyy weโ€™re Lemmy letโ€™s be nice to each other please

[โ€“] Maalus@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

You're saying that as if it means anything. There is no "better" userbase. Reddit had this weird superiority complex too.
