It also suffers from ridiculous moderation. Get into an argument with a mods alt and youll have all your comments from a whole instance removed and banned outright
This true? Hasn’t been my experience.
Seemed like quite a few comments bashing Lemmy or suggesting that there is no alternative.
Right? The entire point of the fediverse is more moderation, if someone wants to force others to listen to their speech they can join an instance with no rules or go to X.com.
Lemmy.ml being a forced default option (because the devs are tankie authoritarian pieces of shit) gives lemmy as a whole a bad reputation. The entire fediverse needs to defederate from .ml and call it a day.
Honestly, I appreciate that they do not attempt to manipulate the lemmyverse in a way that pushes their agenda. Let them have a default. It’s fine.
People should come into Lemmy with the understanding that it is all about multiple instances and choosing the best one for you. I don’t like who Reddit is run by, but I can do nothing about it from within their ecosystem. Lemmy is built in a way that you can avoid supporting people you don’t want to.
Though the fact they mix pleasure with business. Is a legitimate issue. Tying funding to their political fiefdom rightfully turns many off. Thankfully there are better options these days and no real reason to recommend Lemmy to anyone.
That’s the problem, they do manipulate it. There was a thread a while back that showed how ml basically shows up as one of the random instances to join, like 95% of the time. So it’s not actually random.
This is partly the responsibility of us Lemmy users to make sure it is known which instance to use. If we are letting the newbies go with a random instance, it’s probably not going to work out overall.
Not everyone is going to be informed about everything, they’re joining because they hear it’s good or don’t join because they hear it’s filled with authoritarian tankies. An instance shouldn’t be anything more than a place to have a login and join the fediverse, it shouldn’t be an echo chamber of authoritarian quackery.

This is like complaining about the heat in Arizona whilst living in Saudi Arabia

Yeah, I get this, but this is minor to me.

It depends on the com, I got banned from one of the open source coms for calling an obvious alt an obvious alt.
Which community was that?
opensource@lemmy.ml
It was in a comment about one of the many dramas that Hector Marcan’s vtuber alt was involved in, that’s all I remember.
It was some months ago, it sounds silly but it annoyed me enough that I stopped posting on lemmy for a while. You can probably find it in the mod log.
Lemmy.ml tend to be power trippy
!opensource@programming.dev is usually better
Thanks. I ended up unfollowing the .ml com, I already subscribed to the six or so other open source coms on various instances so it’s no great loss.
Honestly, this is what’s so great about Lemmy. If the Amins are the problem, there’s always another place to go.
