I was on one of their megathreads, and it had 900 comments to a 100 up voted post. 95 percent was text. They comment always. The pig stuff are probably a fraction of what they post.

This looks good, I just found an old (3 year old post - I didn’t even know Lemmy was around back then!) and commented on it. There were also funnily two other recent comments (one from 2 months ago and another 3 months old).

Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

The lemmydotworld admins are preemptively defederating from far left hexbear. Defederation is supposed to be the last resort. The ironic thing is, only a few weeks ago we had redditors calling Lemmy devs tankies and telling people not to come here lol. And now we’re losing potential users because of paranoia from lemmydotworld admins.

Clowns everywhere.

Yes, I did. Wow, I’m happy to know that it works. The double notifications are wierd and a touch annoying, (something for devs to fix).

I’m happy it’s worked. But so long as I’m replying to you I suppose I don’t need to tag you.

It’s stopping people from subbing to different communities which is probably a bad thing.

@kresten@feddit.dk did it work?

They timed it right so that they fucked up both ways, in the browser and in the low end web-connected phone market. They are clowns.

Didn’t they induce actual improvements to Blender code so that they could create these animations more easily and without having to use ruinously priced industry software?

If you comment on posts you think are under-rated and upvote, you’ll push them up the activity queue and it’ll reach more people.

I like the concept but I need durability.

These were weeks where decades happened.

Because your comment was related to what I had to say, and I also agreed with you. I did see a comment that echoed my criticism of the BBC lower down, but I hadn’t seen it before I posted my comment.

Btw, the West was involved in all of that. The French exported surveillance tech they use to surveil their own marginalised Muslim population. The Brits exported their ‘Prevent system’ that they use to harrass Muslim children and families, calling them terrorists.

China has now stopped the alleged human rights abuses according to the associated press (AP are CIA affiliated back from the Cold War).

3, because he’s a Top Xi.

I’m glad there’s nuance to the discussion, I was worried by the 95+% glazing going on.

I ignore all the politics from the BBC, though general news and entertainment, documentaries are all broadly fine. But they’re *politically *compromised by state-funding and imo are blatantly corrupt.

We see your handle, bear.

The other guy, schmidt-something is pointing out that people will use their instances to have like-minded community whether that’s interests, language or specialism, while you appear to be advocating for the reddit type congregation of people and for some reason also arguing against the other guy’s description of reality, of how things are. I don’t see why you are offended at him…

And I see you have your own anxiety and disagreement about the nature of Lemmy’s federated system. That’s no reason to shoehorn it into every discussion.

I think you are pessimistic about Lemmy’s potential for small communities.

But have you considered that we’re not indexed on Google yet? And we largely don’t have a pervasive culture of promoting niche communities yet like they did on the large subreddits. So this is two other ways small communities aren’t being found in the first place.

The same people fund both the government (through elections) and the news media. I guarantee you Murdoch is friends with many of his fellow billionaires.
