Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. in c/[email protected]

Wasn't it spun off/got popular because fatpeoplehate or something got banned? It was just a hole for shit crawl towards to for their freeze peach.

They went to the deep end at some point. Though that sub was always somewhat weird, gave me astroturf vibes or that they've some hidden agenda. I think I've been banned from there as well.

How can users check to see if their instance is defederated with any other instances? in c/[email protected]

Put the ones in charge to the front line.

PSA: Mastodon is NOT Twitter and does not aim to be. in c/[email protected]

I apparently have always used Twitter wrong since I mostly just lurk and people I follow don't get into flamewars or whatever they're called. It's kinda unrecognizable for me how you describe Twitter.

Mastodon on the other hand is just pretty dead for me. I haven't found that much interesting stuff and I don't really know where to look.

From my perspective, they function pretty similarly. I don't see the toxicity you're talking about. Quote tweeting is handy because it's not used to put down others but just, you know, sharing and adding something to the original tweet.

You think those "open or else" threats are taking Reddit closer to that conclusion?

I really don't know where you got that from. And I'm not freaking demanding anything. Just pointing out things that corporates be doing. Can't we fucking have conversation about how corporations can use their power to influence and direct conversation to be more "ad friendly" without people butting in with "aCtUally it'S wElL witHin thEiR righTS". I know that. I think most people do. Doesn't mean we can't talk about it or shit on the company.

You are free to understand me any which way you want but "speech" exists also on non-public or self-owned platforms. That's just dumb to argue otherwise. I'm right here, "speeching" away, on someone else's platform.

No one's saying they aren't. Doesn't mean I have to like it either. Or that their decisions can't be criticized.

Fucking dumb to force them to reopen and then when mods say fuckit ban the sub. This is some bad parenting.
