You won’t see this, but… the Lemmy devs are Marxists, not right-wingers. Lemmygrad is definitely Marxist (Leninist). Lemmy.ml is left-wingers of all types.

It’s crazy they politicized emojis 🙄…

Wait until you hear about what they did to language!

Mostly, yes. I don’t have enough other stuff to warrant storing it separately in a garage.

My garage is huge compared to my house. It has 2 cars, a laundry, and all of the stuff I don’t use every day.

…

You get all the stuff into the same size house

Sounds like the problem is all the stuff.

Lemmy.world, you are positively glowing right now :3

It never ceases to amaze me how threatened liberals are by tiny groups of commies. And of course, the fact that a bunch of liberals are busy denigrating the very commies that made their migration away from capitalist Reddit possible in the first place is, unfortunately, very par for the course for liberals.

They need massive amounts of data. There is simply no way to manually curate data on that scale, short of hiring like a million people. It’s very likely that they do use some sort of automated filtering to curate the data though.

If we can throw tens of millions of soldiers into meat grinders for wars, then I think hiring a few million people to curate data is table stakes by comparison.

I’d rather keep the different mediums separate. I have fundamentally different expectations of a medium like Lemmy, which is async, and Matrix, which is synchronous.

You gotta pay for it, but I’ve found it worth paying for so far.

But it just may be a lunatic you’re lookin’ for.

I get what you’re saying, but as of now a lot of people new to the concept of the Fediverse just don’t care. They’re going to join the instances with the most people. Like the Mastodon migration, this will inevitibly result in a “default” instance regardless of how people feel. Not sure if that’ll change, unless something forces people to realize maintaining the decentralized aspect of these servives is very important.

The masses need not understand the importance of decentralization. Only the admins of the instances do. And when admins seek to compulsively accumulate users en masse, rather than close off registration and route to other instances, it’s a pretty obvious tell as to what they’re doing.

I don’t think tinwhiskers has problems with communists. If they had problem with communists, they would surely have said “communists”.

They said “tankies”. I am more inclined to suggest their issue is with tankies, not communists.

“Tankie” is a pejorative for Marxist-Leninist, the most successful approach to building communism in all of history, responsible for improving the material conditions of hundreds of millions of people on a scale never before seen in history. Anyone who unironically uses “tankie” as a pejorative in the 21st century is thoroughly anti-communist, be it intentionally or otherwise.

Don’t sign up to lemmy.ml or you’ll need to sign up again on a new instance when they get defederated. Tankies. I guess a blind eye is being turned right now because numbers are important for survival atm, but I wouldn’t consider it a future-proof instance.

It never ceases to amuse me that throngs of liberals, fleeing from yet another capitalist centralized service doing what capitalist centralized services do, are so quick to denigrate the work of the communists that made their flight to an alternative possible in the first place. We wouldn’t have Lemmy – and the numerous improvements to Groups in the ActivityPub standard – if it weren’t for communists like them.

Also, LemmyGrad.ml has most of the “tankies.” Lemmy.ml is more generically socialist.

I fully expect .world to become the default at some point, it statistically has more active users and is outgrowing .ml at a rapid pace.

The whole point of federation is that there is no such thing as “the default.” As soon as that happens, it becomes Just Another Reddit Clone.
