They'll go back to Reddit in a few weeks. Imagine thinking Redditors can pull off even a slacktivist version of a general strike. These are people whose entire lives revolve around fascile dopamine hits.
Yeah, that's what I'm expecting as well.
yeah, uhh...
It's the neolib central of the fediverse
Can you help me understand how the whole fediverse thing works? It seems more decentralized than reddit.
the hyper-abridged version:
Each "instance" (beehaw, lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, etc) is like its own small self-enclosed Reddit. "Federation" is the process that allows the instances to talk to each other - like for example, users registered at the beehaw instance can go and comment on posts from the lemmy.ml instance. This allows each instance to keep its own culture while granting the breadth of community of having every user able to interact with every other user. Some communities "defederate", which basically means an instance decides that for whatever reason they don't want their users interacting with users from another instance. So the network isn't fully connected, but instead forms a distributed network. Totally down to answer more quetsions despite my account only being like an hour old lol
They're still as bloodthirsty as ever lol
I feel like reddit moved in next door.
Basically, it's a really good reminder of where the mainstream views are in the west right now.
The neighbour from hell.
lemmy.world, lemmygrad, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, lemmygrad, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, beehaw, slrpnk, beehaw, lemmygrad, beehaw, beehaw, ...
I'm beginning to sense a pattern here
I'm new to Lemmy. Is beehaw a right-wing/conservative oriented instance? Or is it just libs being libs?
it's a liberal instance, so right-wing
Good point.
Sounds like Lemmy should do to Beehaw as Beehaw has done to us. For the sake of the space the developers have created.
fortunately, we can't see content from Beehaw on Lemmygrad since they blocked us, but lemmy.ml probably won't blacklist it
Can confirm, I'm in deep pain and suffering everytime i open a politics post
Not surprising. It was inevitable from the moment the floodgates opened
As one of the people who just got here, I do kind of like that lemmygrad seems kind of closed off from the rest. Because lots of "leftist" places back on Reddit would eventually be taken over by SocDems or Libs once they got big enough, so just having a place where they just wont go seems nice. Dunno if brigading by libs is a thing that happens often here though? Haven't been here long enough to know.
Oh they're here. They're to us in our spaces as MAGA is to mainstream neoliberal spaces - they invade to sabotage, they seek to destroy. We could move to Mars and they'd send space drones with propaganda blasting from speakers.
There's a very conscious effort from the radlib cliques to close off lemmygrad
Yeah, I hear talk of a lot of instances wanting to block any instance that federates with lemmygrad.
I've read that too, but they can't possibly ban lemmy.ml
lemmy.world hasn't banned lemmygrad either but I wouldn't place my hopes on that. Still, it'll impossible to stop federating with them, you'd just be cutting off large numbers of people over some comments you can't even see anyway.
I don't see this as being a bad thing. No sure could survive the massive influx of liberals that other sites are. Let these waves swamp over and when it dies down we'll still have a culture here.
Would lemmy.ml ever cut federation with lemmygrad? I feel like your average reddit refugee just joins lemmy.ml and calls it good. Plus the devs seem against segregating lemmygrad.
I doubt it. The lemmy maintainers are MLs themselves. Hell, there are libs spreading FUD because the devs are le redfash tankies.
@yang_wenli @GarbageShootAlt I thought lemmy.ml was also marxist Leninist, isn't what the .ml stands for?
I believe .ml is just the domain name. Apparently Mali?
Back when the ledditor tsunami began, there was one person who wandered into a thread on lemmygrad, started complaining about lemmygrad, then started flinging shit at everyone who responded to them. It was kind of amusing to watch tbh.
Remember that anarchist who got banned because friendly starting the "discussion" from asking "why do you love mass murder"? I talked with him some more on lemmy and of course he doubled down, finally throwing the wiki list of "communist mass murders" which reach like over 150% of Black Book numbers with comment that it was good source.
While constantly asking me why we don't like anarchists, lol.
GreenAndPleasant managed this by creating a breakaway sub, GreenAndExtreme - the idea being that it was a pipeline, get the libs interested in Pleasant and radicalized in Extreme. Didn't really work, then they managed a proper crackdown on libs in the main sub.
It is kind of nice to not encounter so much froth.
I'd assume the verification system helps with that a little bit
indeed
Reddit is suspending third party apps at the end of the month, so there's currently a mass user migration. Makes sense.
