The more read about these bans stuff on Lemmy, the more I just see the similarities between Reddit and Lemmy lol.
Eventually every social media platform becomes the same kind of environment. Unfortunately.
Ah, time for some drama entertainment. I already grabbed the popcorn and some drinks.
I’m fine with not having an algorithm
Then why even mentioning it (in a more negative than neutral tone)?
I just don’t feel the need to see some ladies twat unless I’m looking for that content specifically. I’m not saying the platform is bad, just it needs some work still.
Whether you use the platform or not, does not really matter (to me). You are right the platform needs some work and they’re putting the work while being one of social media platform that’s being targeted by Zionists.
I have written what, I wanted to write. I have shown the text and image the developer wrote. That’s about it. I’ll leave it at that, I guess.
I don’t know what upscrolled is, but if it’s not federated then who cares?
You care enough to write about the specific app that, you don’t know about.
Your account is 4 days old, that says enough. I won’t respond to you after this comment.
That mixed with not having an algorithm
Is not that a part of the advantage? You, the person, deciding what you want to see and follow. I think Mastodon and BlueSky are similar in that regard.
I’ve seen a lot of sexual stuff I was not looking for.
Follow the developer of the app and you’ll understand why;
I have been on UpScrolled for about 23-25 days and have not seen any Nazi stuff. However, I keep my feed and the people I follow mainly about Anime and Palestine.
If there’s indeed Nazi stuff on it, I hope the developer removes it. Zionism and Nazi are both insanely shit ideologies that should have never come to existence.
UpScrolled already having questionable ethics
Which questionable ethics? I’m out of the loop.
EDIT: I’m sorry but I’ll take this post and some of the allegations with a grain of salt. Your account is made in January 2026 and this is your first and only post. Your comments are only in here as well. However, I do hope you can clear up about which ethics are questionable on UpScrolled.
I use(d) Pinterest to collect fan-dom stuff and wallpapers. Each board for a movie, series, anime or game.
Nowadays I just search for a wallpaper and hope it isn’t AI, download it and leave the platform again. There’s no use on actually using the platform for what its intended (pinning, saving and sharing). Almost anything you do gets flagged by their AI bot for “inappropriate, adult or violence”.
I mean, they flagged a plant as “adult” content and smiling Luffy face as “violence”. Oh I forgot, their platform is just one giant advertisement crap now. 3/4 of the screen will be taken up by a video/gif of an advertisement.
I have been searching for one, for a year or two. Ever since they keep removing pins for the most mundane things or literal no actual reason.
For me, personally, it’s more about the focus of votes vs actual discussion. I’m worried it would turn the tides and make people much more focused on the votes than actual discussion. It might make it echo chamber-ish.
I recently disabled showing votes on my side (through Voyager app). Even if I get downvoted a hundred times over, if I just get a respectful discussion with links to (trustable) sources. I’m all alright with that.
I rather not. If it does happen, I’ll just rss Lemmy and stop using my account. I like Lemmy the way it is because there’s not much focus on votes and more on actual discussion.
Quick question regards blocking - how does it work exactly?
When I block someone, I can still see their message. Just won’t get a notification. I thought, it would be blocked entirely - so I’m a bit confused.
Mistyped. Should’ve been “DB0 Piracy”. Which is the exact instance that got blocked by LW.
Come to be the dark side, DB0 zero Piracy!
When I try to follow while being logged in, it says ‘‘Could not find community’’ error.
So FireFish is similar to Tumblr? Because that’s what I’m looking for at the moment.
One question:
If you do not like it here then why are you here?
Content is decent/ good, certainly it is not as much as Reddit but hey - Lemmy is just getting started. While Reddit has been there for what? 7 years? Longer?
Got the same issue with my notebook but not with the desktop.
When I asked somewhere, I got downvoted. Tried different browser, no luck.
So for now, phone apps for Lemmy.
Well, when the first migration to Lemmy happened (when Apollo got shut down because of Spez and such), Lemmy was quite friendly and welcoming. Debates and discussions weren’t as heated, and people debated with a genuine interest in the topic. People claimed Lemmy was better than Reddit, and I remember mentioning that it would change, and a few months later, it did, and I mentioned that too and got heavily downvoted. But behold now; different platform but the same kind of toxic environment.
Though there are still some people who claim Lemmy is better than Reddit, because they don’t like Reddit and/or got banned from Reddit.
