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

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
Insanity. You're telling yourself that the groups which prides itself on hate are more receptive to you than groups which promotes cooperation and understanding? Maybe ask a psychiatrist what that says about you. You're supposed to be tolerant to people who act in good faith, but nobody must be tolerant to hate.
The right is full of infighting too, but it's about who is the most devoted to the dear leader. Challenge their arguments openly and you'll see them act far worse than any leftist you've ever seen.

Is anyone else just enjoying seeing people create actual user names again and not just using the automatically generated ones reddit has done for awhile?
Your name here isn't auto-generated?

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.
Same here: Deleted my 13y Reddit account along with every other US tech account except Google, as I need that for my livelihood.
Censorship wasn't the motivation. Rather; I'm withdrawing my support for the US economy in any way possible, given the shocking geopolitical events of this year and the way they are treating Ukraine.
Besides, the Federverse feels like going back to the internet's roots and I'm here for it!

I hate them.
I run a cryptography forum on reddit (now here too). On reddit it's /r/crypto. Before the random suggested usernames every spam operation had to make up their own random username scheme. They ended up being mostly distinguishable because they used patterns normal people didn't. Now? A ton of users with limited activity are now indistinguishable from bots. So the subreddit has to be in restricted mode so only approved users can post, and for anybody with ambiguous post history I have to send them a request for more detail to be able to keep spammers out while still allowing genuine newbies to join to ask questions. Otherwise the spam volume just ends up being way too intense.
This is smart. I would take that advice, but right now my subs are in maintence mode as a form of slactivism. I don't post I just check in to delete a spam bot every few days.
-
Yep I'm concerned they'll do that too. They'll find some posters in r/conservative that are inappropriate and use that as an excuse to ban. The sad thing is conservative is overall really open to other ideas and open discussion! Say anything not left on reddit and you get torn apart which is horrible.
Reddit admins are insanely biased towards right wingers. They talk about the same free speech bullshit while only allowing one side to speak freely.
They tolerated brigades organized by them for years despite brigades being prohibited, they allowed T_D to absolutely dominate the front page by vote manipulation until a huge majority of the site got too outraged (that's when the 2 post cap/day per sub was set, along with ignoring votes on pinned posts). T_D screamed and screamed and screamed about being censored when that happened (nothing was even removed), and everybody else was happy reddit FINALLY AFTER YEARS did something, anything, to make the site a bit more usable again. Tons of left leaning subs were banned long before they ever touched any far right extremism.
The left wing bias you might have seen comes from moderators who actually have expertise on their subjects (like science subreddits), not from the admins

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.
Right wingers are being taught to believe all pushback against the beliefs fed to them are illegitimate and personal attacks, it's cult like behavior to make it harder for them to learn and change.

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .world account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]

Keep in mind that subscribing to this community means that it'll take over your feed.
/j, but it's also true

thier filters are so haphazardly banning people, not even verify a violation, thats what im seeing. i just deleted all my perma-banned accts, its pretty hard to repeal once they give a permaban that doesnt state where and what the violation was.
What's hilarious is that my perma-ban got lifted on appeal, I can post and shit now, but the message they sent me said it was denied and would stay in place. They are so goddamnned confused over there.

It's a site by and for Communists and a safe space for queer users, it isn't that complicated. I'd also recommend not calling it an insane asylum, as @[email protected] said it has one of the biggest trans userbases on Lemmy and that's frequently used as a transphobic insult, not to mention the ableism.
I've been forced to stay at an insane asylum, I was only going based off my prior experiences is all, had no idea about the trans thing.

Yep we all need to get posting and chatting to encourage others
I'm trying to do my part

Fair enough, but I think you should just take care with that. Do a bit more research before jumping to insults that can be damaging to people's gender identity.

I'd be here more if I didn't need to re-log in every few pages. It's annoying, and I haven't found a solution.
"What?! Logged out again?! Well, screw it, at least Reddit doesn't log me out every time I refresh a page."
I've never had that problem. Not on my instance's web page or using Sync on my phone.

Yesterday was the first day that Lemmy activity tipped over the threshold, and there were too many overnight posts for me to read all of them over breakfast.

Every instance has a "rep," sh.itjust.works is generally seen as right-wing.
Cowbee is a known Tankie, everything to them is right-wing, they think I'm right-wing LMAOOOOO
SJW is not seen as right-wing outside the Tankie Triad, for an actual right-wing instance see hilariouschaos.com

I'm a Marxist-Leninist, sure, whatever you want to call that. SJW is generally seen as right-wing for hosting some of the most pro-US and anti-communist communities, and having an admin that thinks China and Russia are pushing "gender politics" to radicalize western youths against the US, and even doubled down when called out for their transphobia. This is MAGA-tier conspiracy theory nonsense and undermines the real struggles faced by transgender people in order to push their own political agenda.
You yourself essentially just stir up drama and repost content from Lemmy.ml, which is kinda silly. Same with trying to make "Tankie Triad" a thing, Marxists occupy far too much of your time for someone who presumably isn't a Marxist.

Welcome! To the good place
Thank you.

Or one with the broadest possible federation like lemmy.sdf.org, though they are US based if that's a problem for you.
SDF does not defederate. The blocklist is empty. And it's small enough and chill enough that it's unlikely to get blocked by other instances much.
They're a non-profit that's older than the web and offers a variety of network and retrocomputing services including most famously a public access Unix server. They started as a dialup anime BBS.
