So I have a vague understanding of this.

I tried going to another server when I read something about a lemmy instance turning down FB. I go there and I’m prompted to make yet another account to use that instance.

Does this mean, that I need to make a new log-in per instance, per server just to use it? If so, that’s entirely exhausting for me to keep track and I already have an abundance of accounts as is, to where I had to make a document that records every account with every password. We need an internet where it’s less of that.

LMAY - Let Me Ask You

LAY - Lemmy Ask You

I am actually okay with this. Now what are all of the gilding farmers going to do? Oh no…anyways.

It’s okay to still use these sites, I’ll admit that right now, I have a reddit account again. But that’s out of spite for the simple fact that I refuse to have my voice be silenced. I may have been banned multiple times on subreddits and reddit itself for petty dumb opinionated reasons (no I’m not a racist, sexist, bigot…). But, I kept coming back because again, I refused to be silenced and let them have the ‘victory’ of snuffing a voice out.

It’s another thing though, to have a Reddit account and going around to people wanting to be done with Reddit, by trying to convince and lure them into coming back on here. People have made up their mind about Reddit and everything that has happened within the past two weeks, cemented those choices. Quite frankly, if you ask me, getting blown up over the porn/NSFW situation is a little silly in comparison to the third party issue.

People have an assortment of reasons to still use these platforms, it’s fine, except the ones who’re Pro-Spez, Pro-Musk .etc Then I say - you have problems.

Loved your community when I was on Reddit. I remembered when it used to be absurd having to wait an entire month just to even post there. r-gaming is some of the most toxic gaming-based subreddits on there. The mods are ban-happy on that subreddit if you’re not regurgitating content in the same vein as the rest do. What I got tired of on there particularly, was the circlejerking outrage porn that happened at any instance whether it’s a game company’s decision or whatever. It was just down to the fact that some fanboy is simply unhappy so they’ve gotta go on a tirade to rile everyone up and go review bomb something.

That’s because it’s all that you have.

I agree, for the most part. But I already have noted a couple instances of the kind of behavior I expected to see on Reddit.

There’s always, always going to be an insufferable group of people who spends their aimless lives just shitting all over everything.

Your safety depends on how curious you are and how far it leads you. You can be considered safe, by being in one solitary place at all times and doing next to nothing. You always risk your safety when you go exploring. There is not a single platform that perfects safety among it’s community, with the exception of implementing tools and features that’d at least provide security so that exposure and exploitation is kept at a strict minimum.

The sad reality is, is that, I wouldn’t put it past Lemmy for it to contain at least a handful of these bored shitposting edgelords with too much time on their hands. Then again, is it really Lemmy’s fault? You’re going to come across a band of these people on all walks of the internet, it’s just a matter of what volume of them that there is and whether or not it can be regulated and enforced by the community on whether or not they’re welcomed.

I’ve gotten pegged by people when I reposted something I knew very well, hadn’t been posted within a year’s timeframe. Like, what’s the problem with that? It hasn’t been seen in so long so yeah it’ll be reposted.

Unlike with your second scenario, I’ve seen posts crop up within the same day and they’re all gratified and praised like as if people hadn’t seen them before when their short attention spans fail to tell them that they did see it before very recently.

That’s the fate of, ironically, a subreddit called UNPOPULARopinions.

“Beyonce is overrated!” - just throw them the lifetime achievement award for “unpopular”. /s

Device.

This was a group that consisted of David Draiman from Disturbed and Geno Lenardo who is a former guitarist from Filter. Only one album was released in the entire discography and the project lasted 2 years. It was a nice breakaway to hear David branch out from Disturbed to see what else he can do and I wished more albums was released. It could’ve been an industrial supergroup.
