It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.
4 times the same post in 4 different identically named communities…
I want a global feed, communities can federate with in a sort of sub-lemmy.There is a lot of computing and a lot of politics, but not very much else.
I don’t like that it’s basically Reddit. people from Reddit came here and they act like it’s Reddit and it’s basically Reddit
The extremist idiots. Entire lemmy.ml is incredibly disgusting bunch of losers.
That’s not very nice. I came here to say inter-instance drama, haha.
Came here to say “Tankies”, but you seem to have it covered.
The total lack of concern for easy on boarding of newbies. There’s a lot of big talk about taking on social media monopolies but absolutely no interest in coordinating to actually accomplish that goal.
not enough users and content
People complaining about not enough variety when they don’t post in those niche communities they talk about
No particular complaints regarding the people or topics, but I wish we could do more than just up or downvote a post. In other online communities you can 🤣, or ❤️, or even 🤡 a post and that makes the experience much more enjoyable IMO, lol.
I think piefed allows that and you can interact with all lemmy posts.
I’ve been hearing a lot about this piefed business, time to check it out in earnest, maybe. 👍
Anytime any question about age of consent comes up there’s a lot of really creepy responses. Really really creepy.
Tankies
The topics aren’t as varied here, reddit pretty much has a subreddit for any niche community you can imagine.
I like the community more here though. People are generally supportive and there seem to be fewer unrestrained jerks.
there seem to be fewer unrestrained jerks
I wish. I’d say it’s proportionally about the same.
Can’t completely delete a post or comment.
That a lot of people can’t help themselves but read way more into the comment than it’s actually saying. I can’t count the times I’ve had to be so explicit and airtight for those bottom feeders to get it.
I am forced to see posts in communities I am banned from for having an anti-ai stance AKA a working brain. I didn’t block all of them soon enough.
What I am saying is that you should still be able to block communities you are banned from. Seeing them in my feed and being unable to get rid of them is like seeing cockroaches in a kitchen.
You should be able to add them on the Blocks tab of this page. There’s a text box you can fill in with the community name. It’s more annoying than pressing a button but maybe less than continuing to see the content.
You are a genius.
Honestly, they should just automatically be blocked if you are banned from them.
Which is also not good because people are usually banned from channels they like and want to see the posts.
Sounds like it would be a good bug report.
If you get banned from your own instance, all your posts and communities you created are deleted. Lots of posts get deleted because of this.
How would someone get banned from their own instance? Do you really own it if you can get banned from it?
Other meaning: “If you get banned from [the instance where you created your user account]” might clear it up. It’s not their own instance in the sense that they are in control of the system but it is the one they might consider “home”.
Compare this against a case where a lemmy.world user gets an instance-wide ban from the admins on lemmy.ml, for example: user can’t participate in .ml communities but it doesn’t nuke their account.
No way! Why should I get banned? It’s the ai slop communities full of no-talent ass clowns who should be banned.
People keep supporting socialism when it is painfully obvious they don’t know what the word even means.
Not every positive thing the government does is “socialism”
Social programs instituted by the government are not “socialism”
What you’re actually supporting is democratic socialism and has nothing to do with communism or socialism as a philosophy.
Nah comrade, I want to seize the means of production!
Aka the most useless argument that gets repeated on lemmy over and over. It has about as much use as “I’ll join the revolution as soon as some other people start it.”
Without others you’re just a lone gunman fighting for your own opinions and values, like Ted Kaczynski mailing bombs. Some were for his “cause”, some were for personal revenge. If you publish your manifesto ahead of time you’ll probably get caught, if you publish after and it turns out you’re a selfish nut-job there’s no movement (except for maybe a handful of other nut-jobs). Even if you do succeed, realistically your targets are easily replaceable cogs, not the clockmakers. And the clockmakers are a bureaucracy, even the masters are replaceable, the entire factory has to be torn down. Is it that difficult to understand why we’re not yet at the tipping point where people are ready to abandon their jobs, family and social stability, and possibly lives to fight in the streets? It currently risks everything and gains nothing. Some of it is keyboard warrior talk, but I’d wager there’s a steadily increasing populace slowly preparing themselves for drastic action, they just want it to have real purpose and hopefully achieve something if it’s going to potentially cost them everything.
THANK. YOU. You put it more succinctly where I struggle to.
Right now most even-keeled folks can agree we’re all very upset, but it’s the same with trying to start a union and march up to the boss’s office: Oh sure, everybody enjoys a good grumble in the breakroom but are they gonna back you up? Worse, are they gonna rat you out?
Whether out of ignorance, desperation, hopelessness, or all three, we have a large proportion of people that just wanna “keep their head down.” and “stay out of trouble.” Even if it means suffering.
Our culture is also pathetically fractured sometimes. Once we get over the “should we do something” hurdle, the question becomes what, who, and how. And everybody’s seemingly got a morally-superior position to everyone else, and budging is not an option. Unfortunately while we’re all scoring zings on each other, organizing and running roughshod over everyone else comes much more easily for those with an authoritarian bent.
