Fediverse memes

Top 6 and ALL is where it's at.

I usually sort by new comments. Sometimes you'll see 1 year old post still active in the comments. It's neat

I still wish there was a better sort algorithm. Nothing compares to Reddit’s front page algorithm. I usually cycle between hot and top 12 hours.

Most definitely. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of the constant complaining about those Lemmy instances.

A good rule of politics is if someone or an ideology that you don't like and they have no power or connection to power just ignore them, especially if there on your side for 90% of actual relevant issues. Not theoretical issues that may pop up after the revolution that may never come.

Sounds good, except I believe them to be actively harmful to the reputation of the Lemmy-verse, so it's important to make a clear stand, if total defederation isn't happening.

I'd rather not Lemmy end up as another Voat. I've already seen tons of stories from the original rexit of "I tried Lemmy, but .ml/hex/grad seemed cringy/hostile so I left"

One by one? Dessalines blanket bans you from everything if you break one of their unwritten rules. Relatedly, just write out your rules. Stop trying to be sneaky-deeky. It’s ridiculous, having ultra secret rules like some sort of boy’s club. Be up front about it. It surely doesn’t take long to write “avoid questioning China or Russia” in the sidebar

their admins (the maintainers of the lemmy codebase) are tankies (authoritarian communists who believe the USSR was justified in quashing Hungarian protests against human rights abuses with violence). they take any criticism of the people's republic of china's government as sinophobia and have some weird opinions about the fascist government of the russian federation (effectively their explanation is that moscow achieved communist utopia in 1918 and therefor cannot backslde into a worse form of government despite overwhelming evidence that the potato shaped dickhead who sits atop the throne of skulls in moscow is maybe possibly perhaps a war criminal)

I'd recommend visiting it or joining an instance that federates with it at least. The liberals like to make it out to be a communist propaganda machine but most of the content is memes, oss, and general left wing / anti-US stuff. They will ban you on some communities if you bring up tianemen square or uyghurs though, so that sucks, but otherwise most of the content / users on there are decent.

Also, you can go-to !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works and check out the pinned posts, Nutomic lead dev, Tankie, and .ml head admin is basically a transphobe on top (receipts in the second pinned post)

They'll also remove posts and ban you under their favorite catch-all "Rule 1 Bigotry" for anything critical of China/Russia

If you talk Ill of them, even on other instances comms they'll site-ban you. So basically like how Reddit mods of ol used to ban you for participation in unrelated subs.
