Yes, welcome redditors to .world, which is trying to model itself as reddit 2.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So far, it's quite refreshing. However I miss some of the smaller niche hobby subreddits, as fediverse hasn't gained enough momentum yet. There are "channels" (?) that have like 300 people, and a post every other month, which is too small right now.

Okay, but where is the instance that is trying to model itself after slashdot? (I feel old)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Best I can do is act like a slashdotter:

This general idea has already failed elsewhere. What you want can't work.

The tankie triad

making a bunch of forums seem so dark and mysterious

have you considered that some of us are just silly goofy girls

catgirl-sorry

I will never understand how you would defend an instance that is not only deep in genocide denial and praise of authoritarian regimes.

But also one whose head admin (and main Lemmy dev unfortunately) is a transphobe

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Transphobia is only unacceptable when it's SHITLIBS who can be accused of it.

It's way more fun to pretend hexbear and .ml are super dark and scary than to admit what they mostly actually are: leftist memes and shit posting.

Notice Beehaw's not on the "good" list anymore? Wonder why they're not on there...

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 days ago (12 children)

I think Beehaw isn't on the good list here because the account that shared the meme is on Lemmy World which isn't federated with Beehaw.

So it's a lack of knowledge of the users that left it off not any nefarious intent.

But that's my 2 cents.

I see calling people "tankies" is the "woke" of the Fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Yeah I'm a bit lost on why someone's instance automatically = their entire identity. Wouldn't that means 1) technically we are all tankies on a tankie platform and 2) I need to start learning Finnish?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I randomly picked an instance when I created this account around a year ago, and these days I see people comment things like “lol of course you’re from .ml”.

I don’t even know what’s the difference between instances. And it’s not like we were given a whole lot of explanation when picking one.

Woohoo for tribalism

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (11 children)

Lemmy.ml admins remove content critical of the CCP, and similar things. The admins of most other instances don't do that shit.

Grad is much the same, while Hexbear is just 4chan for Stalinists.

Looks at the lemmy devs on GitHub

All them use lemmy.ml

lemmy.world in shambles
