PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

I don't want to represent or speak for you, I want you to speak your own truth, and listen to that of others. I also never said that it's "all women's fault", I'm saying that generalised enmity is counterproductive.

I'm saying that we all have a part of the puzzle and if we all manage to chip in instead of villainising each other in essentialist terms, things would move along a lot faster. I'm an Anarchist, not an incel.

men are hurt to, but NEVER when I asked for fucking help!

Yes, they were. They were absolutely hurt and damaged when they were not able to help you because they internalised a patriarchal narrative: "Men are perpetrators, not victims". It's there to replace camaraderie with hierarchy, a pecking order. It does not serve men a bit, hierarchy never does any good.

These two things -- you not getting help from men, and men being hurt -- are not separate issues. They are not at odds with each other. They're causally connected.

Most of them are political memes or simply are not funny

[ekzepp@lemmy.world]

Try #funny, is not imgur, but at least no politic content.

[kichae@lemmy.ca]

I mean, there's limited content, and Lemmy hasn't attracted the same kind of personality as modern Reddit. It makes total sense that things would be upvoted quickly, but comments would be sparse or short.

People patted themselves on the back when they showed up for being "old reddit" and "power users", but most of us were just cranky phone users who didn't want to use the official app. Lemmy users are not the boistrous, verbose philosophers people wanted to believe they were.

We're scrollers, sitting on the toilet.

[bradd@lemmy.world]

This is a reasonable take but ngl still I'm still a little sus.

[7toed@midwest.social]

Honestly, no arguement here. I can't think of anything better so I'm unqualified regardless

[phlegmy@sh.itjust.works]

An 'ideal' solution might require a complete redesign on how federation works.

Something like a more decentralised network where you don't have a 'home' instance.
An instance would be more like a relay into a 'core' network, and you could swap between them at any time.

It'd probably require your account info to be public though, so passwords wouldn't be possible to implement in a foolproof way.

Instead of signing in, your device could generate a public/private keypair on signup.
The whole network would have your public key, and only content/actions that your device signs would be propagated on the network.

Sorry, you probably don't care about my ideas lol. Just thinking out loud I guess.

fastest reply in tghe west

they tried that and without the centralised moderation it became racist very quickly https://aether.app/

[phlegmy@sh.itjust.works]

Oh wow, those are cool. What a shame.

I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that unmoderated communities attract the degenerates

[haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com]

Tbh I feel a little queasy about the change of tone but thats how it goes with influx of people. I‘ll keep my strict anti tech bro stance and will rapidly block any bigots as I always have. People can of course say and do what they please here and I‘m not gonna stop them. But i also am not forced to listen to it. Thats very incompatible to the outside world so clash is inevitable imho.

[liv@lemmy.nz]

Me too. I can't find you on pixelfed?

[lifeinmultiplechoice@lemmy.world]

I'll have to figure out how to link you, I don't have anything much there yet. Just 2 pictures. My name was lifeinmultiplec there as it chopped the name. I assume I need to give you an instance to find me though

[liv@lemmy.nz]

Thanks, cool! I was able to start following you by searching for [email protected] in my instance. For some reason your pictures aren't showing up for me yet but maybe it will populate soon.

[liv@lemmy.nz]

P.s I'm [email protected]
