Jeez, lots of comments to look through! I'll definitely take a peek some more but a pattern that I've noticed from the few comments I've skimmed through is that it seems like a lot of toxic people do show up, it's just that individual instances are good at removing them.
I also haven't been on Lemmy as much as I was on Reddit before I left, and I'm on a fairly small instance, so I guess that explains the lack of bigotry in my feed haha.
Haha, those are the best kinds of arguments.
I don't think it'll really become mainstream because honestly, a lot of people on Reddit and other platforms don't really care about changes to the platforms. It's frustrating but in the end, they're just casual users and it won't affect them that much, and that's ok, we don't need every single person to be an expert, yk. I do like the way the decentralized internet is now.
Also surprisingly haven't come across bigotry yet haha.
Anything GUI-related is just bloat, don't even bother with a tiling window manager, just remove that and your whole desktop and use Arch just in a terminal the way God intended
Y'all I need help there's a scary man that took over my computer screen after I clicked on a Windows link and my speakers broke and started blasting out some cryptic musical beat
Agreed, but it's 48 hours later, and it seems like more and more subreddits have decided to continue protesting indefinitely, which I'm really happy to see. I too have no clue how effective it'll be, but it's showing a much clearer message.
