Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors “engagement” driven algorithms seen on other sites. It’s predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of “rage-bait” content that’s pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.

I pitty the poor, volunteer admins facing clueless users dealing with downtime. “You said it’d only be an hour! WHAT’S GOING ON!?!?”

Nah. What’s weird is you thinking everyone should follow your strict rules about national segregation online.

If it’s such a problem for you, instead of begging everyone else to fit your narrow world view, go find an instance that works better for you. Or, when you don’t because that’s ridiculous, make your own and block it off from everyone else not following your rules. Then you might be happy.

I find your hyperbolic outrage over nothing “distasteful” and “disrespectful”. Go to another instance if you feel so strongly instead of trying to rile up some sort of revolt against the admins as if that would accomplish anything.

You’re linking your own post about assuming what the admins in .world have done as if it’s definitive proof. After a definitive statement is made one way or the other, then you can start freaking out. Until then, just stop it with the conspiratorial garbage.

Lol, good troll account. Here’s your downvote.

Turns out there’s this: https://fedipact.online/

Of either Threads instances or instances that defederate Threads, not that I know of, but I expect it’ll be a thing in short time.

Lemmy doesn’t need to compete. Hell, it can’t compete. It’s an open-source platform developed basically as volunteer work. Meta (and Threads) has millions of dollars and massive teams behind it.

Thankfully, we don’t need Meta. We just need to do what we can to resist. The best we can hope for and what we should aim for is to limit the impact/damage Threads will have on our segment of the Fed. How to do that, I’m not sure exactly, but my first instinct is to block off anything corporate. Any interaction at all is basically just asking monied interests to take over.

Right now? Have a Lemmy account on an instance that defederates anything Threads.

Just subscribe to all of them if you’re that worried about missing something. It’s really not that complicated.

Also, stop worrying about reenacting your Reddit experience. Lemmy is not Reddit. Figure out what you like about Lemmy and focus on enhancing that instead of stressing about forcing Lemmy into your preconceived notion of what it should be.

How is that different from how subscriptions work now, other than adding one more thing to click to get to your “list” to add a subscription?

That part does seem to be true, and yeah, it’s not great. As far as I can tell, though, nothing about their ideology can really affect Lemmy. If it wasn’t open source, or was flooded with ads to monetize it, I would probably be in the anti-lemmy camp. But (so far) that’s not the case, and as long as that remains true, I don’t see much of a problem with the platform as a whole.

Ironically, Lemmy being decentralized like it is is pretty antifascist. Not gonna try to parse out how fascist sympathizers justified that in their world view, but I’m not complaining.

Am I missing something? They’re specifically saying the opposite of what you said - that the Holocaust happened and that white genocide isn’t real. The statement “Are you a white genocide denier?” is mockery, not an actual inquiry.

Huh, I hadn’t noticed that before. Definitely gonna be the focus of some unstable people I’m sure.

have been pleasantly surprised to see very little “le narwhal bacons when?” shit so far

You’ve been away from there for a while huh? That’s ancient Reddit stuff at this point.
