I have never been an "online community first" person. The internet is how I stay in touch with people I met in real life. I'm not a "tweet comments at celebrities" guy. I was never funny enough to be the funniest person on Twitter. So when Twitter was accidentally purchased

It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

    I really do not understand all the .ml hate. If you have it so much why are you using their technology (Lemmy)? So much bullshit being reposted as fact. Basically echo chamber brigading. I left Reddit to escape this shit…

    Edit: although judging by your post history you lack conviction and joke about everything, so maybe I missed the mark

      From one socialist (me) to another (you, presumably), the lemmy.ml hate comes from:

      • Conservatives who dislike socialism
      • Liberals who dislike socialism
      • Socialists who think Stalin and Mao were anti-democratic fuckheads, and don’t enjoy being around “socialists” who like them.

      I like Lemmy, but can at the same time dislike people who like things I consider to be authoritarian, even if those people created the platform in the first place.

      Viewing lemmy.ml content on ‘All-Top’ is a rather happy medium for me, still get to see some of the best memes

      Of you hate it so much, why are you using their technology?

      Oh boy, this isn’t a question you want being asked of people (yourself included).
