There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

You would warn newcomers about the Tankie Triad too if you had repeatedly seen all the stories of "I tried Lemmy, but it just seemed like a bunch of tankies, turns out it was just because I was on .ml when I tried it again"
There's tons more that never came back and go on life thinking Lemmy is Voat 2.0. I know this because there's plenty of comments on Reddit whenever Lemmy comes up about "it's just Tankies over there"
Yes, how dare I try to protect Lemmy's rep, I don't want to see this place become Voat 2.0

Ah I get it now, you're most likely a .ml alt account, so goodbye!
Tankie definition: "authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

If you use an app it may or may not handle it properly or at all, but from the website you should be able to go-to feddit.nl/settings and the block tab and then you'll have the ability to block users, comms or whole instances from there
I say it's more of a mute because those users can still interact with your posts/comments (up/down vote, comment on) you just won't see it. It's been a highly discussed problem
Ohh like that, yeah I don't care as long as I don't see them really. Never use block features anyways, mute is enough for me. Thanks for the info!!

In that particular case I believe it's left wing - echo chambers can function on both sides.
Well not in that case, because it's pressure from the right wing that is enforcing the undue censorship on reddit.

I just really wish there was more active communities for things I like.
I made the Path of Exile community which is currently empty.
There's no Burning Man community yet for SOME UNKNOWN REASON
All the EDM communities are dead including the one I made.

Make sure to promote your new communities at [email protected] and [email protected] - Lemmy doesn't have an algorithm so getting off the ground will take some effort. Beware that we're still at below critical mass for easy sustaining of niche communities, so if you desire for one you will probably have to be the one doing the majority of the posting yourself for a while.

Just randomly found this searching something unrelated, and suddenly I have an account. I've been a reddit user since it took over from digg. Which sort of took over from things like /.
Well now I feel old. Thanks
And judging by your username you found a great instance to call home as well! Welcome, let us know if you need anything. Since there is no recommendation algorithm here I suggest subscribing to [email protected] and [email protected] to help find new communities to subscribe to.

I meant the case for Midwest.Social was left wing.
I thought for Reddit people were also saying that it was left wing, due to calls for Luigi-type violence, but what are you saying about it being due to right wing? To clarify, I genuinely am asking, bc I left Reddit nearly two years ago and except to look something up quickly in specific subs, have not read e.g. r/popular since then, so I don't have any sense of what that culture has been like.

That's a very reddit thing to say

Yeah, there's no such thing as left wing censorship currently because the media ownership is right wing. Maybe the midwest sub tries leaning that way, but restricting discussion is a right wing tactic. Especially when that discussion is about populist actions against large corporations and their toadies.

This post did not contain any content.
I'm locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.
This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.
