It’s a mixed bag. It scratches the news aggregator chat itch, but until it starts putting up per diem user traffic numbers in the millions rather than hundred thousand, I don’t get the same hit from knowing my posts are getting the same mainstream exposure. On the flipside, I usually get a better quality of response so I’m definitely jazzed about that.
I really do detest these corporate run sites lacking the two brain cells to get that you are allowed to kill in self defense, and discussing it is not the same as “threatening violence.” Bud. Mod. DUDE. When you are fighting malignant societal cancer, there is no valid argument about “dehumanizing them;” They did that to themselves when they started removing our rights to self autonomy, free movement and expression. This goes beyond “philosophical disagreements,” it’s an unbridgeable ideological schism at this point.
I got here because some bot posted political ragebait in r/AskReddit and I got tired of censoring myself, so I noted I was, and the Mods got butthurt about it. It was venting, more than anything, but (boom) permanent account suspension. I even deleted the posts immediately because I still hadn’t reloaded the page. Hasn’t seemed to matter.
Really bites too because 90% of what I was on there for was Mine/Hermitcraft content and engagement.
you hate the liberals. The progressives are pretty done with them too, to be fair. We only hitch our wagons to them because the alternative is ACTUAL fascists. I’m leftist, and I can assure you that all we want is government that actually functions as a public service and money out of politics. Becoming an elected official should be seen like jury duty, not a career move.
this issue is adoption. for 90% of the casuals, they get their fix from Reddit, tiktok, Instagram, Imgur and youtube. Facebook if they are boomers, and linkedin if they are corporate types. They tend to be milquetoast parrots and regurgitators who think they are so clever “observing” a take that has been so well worn it’s its own ship of theseus three times over at this point. Short of the AI bubble bursting and forcing them elsewhere, I don’t see that changing anytime soon, sadly.
Yeah, an Imgur replacement would be awesome. That place is full of triggerinas now-a-days
For some, lighter moderation is the special sauce though. Like, I want my mods to understand the difference between frustrated venting and actual, actionable threats and/or malicious content.
This may be self serving but if someone could maybe contact Mojang and get the Minecraft instance to be an officially recognized Social Media outlet like r/Minecraft is on Reddit, that would be peachy.
Oh and a syncable mobile app
Came here to say exactly this.
I mean they actually have a brain and can use context clues. There’s also a rather high chance that someone you meet is an ACTUAL HUMAN.
while Lemmy scratches my post reddit itch, this is one of the down sides. Everyone goes to Reddit, despite it being an AI Bot filled shit show, so you never get the same visibility. At least around here you get a better quality of poster, and you don’t need to select your words quite as much.
as it should be. breathes the fresh air
