If you go to lemmy.ml it’s just a bunch of fucking redditors with their dogshit memes and like three lemme users. It’s sad. I strongly encourage users of this site who are so inclined to take a break from infighting to bully neoliberals over there.

lemmy is experiencing their lifeboat dilemma rn. the unfortunate fact is that when you signal a sinking vessel, you’re not gonna only have friends on the boat afterwards. in their case, they signaled towards redditors, and now they have too many redditors on their forum, which has made it very reddit, to no one’s surprise. they have, unfortunately, marketed to a non-ideal demographic.

honestly, with federation, I don’t really see the need for lifeboatting onto specific pre-established spaces within the fediverse. I don’t think it’s productive. The point, in my eyes, to carve out a separate space in the network for the lifeboat.

The problem is that space must be created for them to go to, and when someone makes a new space, people then have to choose between a new, empty place, and the place where there are already people.

I think you just need a good mod:newbs ratio and any tools that can support those mods (like quarantining newbs or rate-limiting them, etc).

Not that this is easy, but it is at least a simple and actionable thing.

IMO the way the way the federation should’ve been designed is to use something like blockchain technology an extremely slow and energy intensive append-only database

And then I would :ban-hammer: myself for insulting Stalin by inferring I’m better than him at roflstomping libs

That might be harsh. If we just focus on crushing the clear neoliberal propagandists, many of the remainder who badmouthed “tankies” will enculturate.

They are doing an inter vegan struggle session over witch plant based milk is best using an anime boob template.

What are redditors

They are telling a guy in India to go buy a blender and make their own oat milk :agony-shivering:

Criticise any NATO supporting neoliberal or neoconservative westerner to the point they stop consenting to genocides and foreign interventions. Stop letting westerners be xenophobic racists against China/Russia. The death of western imperialism is the death of capitalism

How is that downvoted?

If I actually went over there and started arguing with those shitlibs I would get banned within the hour. When there’s that many of them and they’re so smug and confident from years of being pandered to on :reddit-logo:, bullying is the only thing that works.

We have struggle sessions, but the party line here forms pretty quickly.

not to start the same struggle session here but are there any opinions on which is best? Not just taste-wise, but also regarding environmental impact, cost, things of that nature
