There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!
-
We have an entire instance dedicated to popular 1960s television show Star Trek (don't go there)
There are dozens of us!

Is this something that should be really celebrated? I mean, the reason I joined is because it's not reddit. And I feel that this place will turn into reddit 2.0 if we're not careful.
Absolutely it should be celebrated.
Once enough users are here, you can join a niche small instance that doesn't federate with as many mainstream ones to get that small community vibe. (Or better yet, make your own instance to build what you want)
The more people using federated social media instead of single-entity controlled social media the better for society.

This post did not contain any content.
That's really good to see. But it will be far more interesting to see what the numbers are a month and longer are from now. If they don't stick, it's pretty meaningless.

Would just be nice to be able to have open dialogue instead of all this tribalism and rage and arson and violence and assault and whatnot. Seems like a fair ask but everyone has lost their minds lately it seems.
I know I can't fathom it. It honestly frightens me. The lefts behaviour is a big reason I swung right, tolerance and acceptance of difference is important to me and a chunk of left just aren't like that anymore. If r/conservative were openly behaving like many left wingers on reddit they'd rightly be condemned. It's so wrong
-
Ah yes hexbear, don't miss them...
oh they're going to be refederated soon, like by the end of the month
-
What happened around February 12?
hexbear.net defederated due to domain ownership issues, since resolved. sounds like they're aiming to be refederated by the end of the month.

Yep and when you're perma banned you're fucked. They don't look at the reasons, they don't engage with people... it's ridiculous

Just like it was in the early internet.

What does "active" mean in this context? Is giving an upvote or opening the app enough, or do I need to write a comment/post?
A vote is a "mini comment".

If you are here and want lemmy to succeed, please consider donating. The devs used to get by mostly on nlnet foundation grants but are trying to shift to a more sustainable donation based model. You can see how they are doing on the join-lemmy website when you scroll down to the bottom, there are also links to their liberapay (preferred option) paetreon, etc.
I donated monthly for almost 2 years, and they never even added me on the donator page. Petty reason, but at this point I don't even know how much they care.

It's a bizarre thing to go after. I really don't like the pro luigi posts cos he murdered someone and that's not ok... but people are allowed to have their own opinion and most of it IME is tongue in cheek. There's far more important issues they could look at (Russian interference, reddit being used for crime etc) but no... luigi. Ffs.
If you think about it, what would be the punishment for someone that killed thousands of innocent people in the US? I guess it would be a death sentence. So the person that killed that CEO did exactly the job a non compromised US federal estate had to do.

And here comes the fun part: It can't turn into Reddit 2.0.
If you don't like the policy of your Instance, just join an Instance that fits you more, or create one your own. -

Then everyone banned or permabanned should end the complain with something like "and I'm opening an account in Lemmy. Farewell".

hexbear lost its domain and went offline
Hey everybody! This guy KNOWS things! Let's all laugh at the NERD!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
looks around
But seriously, thank you for that knowledge. I learned something today! But, I got this whole comedy bit going here....and the number one rule of comedy is that you have to COMMIT!!!
Hey everybody! Such a mockery this person is within our vicinity! Ha ha ha ha ha! Such comedy to be had at ones expense!

They won't all stick. That's just the nature of things, no site/game/service/what-have-you boasts a 100% retention rate. Hell, not even heroin does. But with every MAU bump, some amount of them do stick around, and with every such increase to the baseline MAUs we get closer to critical mass.
-
They can nazi how bad that is for them either
-
A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I'm in Europe and I don't want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.
Then you'll be happy to know that Lemmy is 100% EU funded.
-
I legit got permabanned for implying that fascists deserve the fate of Mussolini.
-
This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:
- Realized I'm trans
- Procured a Steam Deck
- Started pirating again
- Been on HRT for over a year and counting
- Developed a chronic dependency on Yuri manga
- Lost 50-60 lbs
I hope you have a good time here as well!
If you're not daily driving Arch, btw, did you even join Lemmy?
I know you're not daily driving Arch because you didn't mention it.
(Jokes, obvs. Congrats on the self-discovery!)
