Oh what an improvement, they actually mentioned the hate movement this time

By default the open source/decentralized social media movement was galvanized by idealistic and political groups who were unsatisfied with corporate social media — mainly being the libertarian-flavored, pro-free speech free software types that flourished in the early software industry, the right wing activists that proliferated in the mid 00s/early 2010s, and left-wing factions of many types fighting capitalism.

Lemmy in particular was started by developers in the communist space, and has since attracted other segments of the left and center to seed its culture.

Many segments of popular communities here are liberal or even centrist now, but the background, core user base of Lemmy retains at least a socially progressive, anti-or-critical-capitalist lens, if not further left.

I wonder if Lemmy will be any more Normal about dogs than snoosite was

Oh now we’re all in agreement that the notch was awful

Somehow they’ve made their bunny to be even creepier than before. That’s amazing.

I honestly don’t know what the fuck Bidenomics even means at this point.

Well this is Interesting.

Video storage and bandwidth is probably my most pressing concern, but that’s the same as with peertube, no?

Speaking of which, are they going to consult with PeerTube for cross compatibility?

That can’t weigh well on Ukrainian forces fighting in occupied territories.

So I wasn’t the only one thinking it

That’s monumental progress, but of course there’s still work to be done.

Here’s to all the legal big fat gay Greek weddings 🥳🏳️‍🌈

Mmm, hungwy

We need to shut down the stand up venues until we figure what the fuck is going on

Yeah, that second part is concerning.

I like that acronym you made of authlefts.

On Twitch?

Why???

Clearly you haven’t dealt with a Mastodon instance having a major defederation event.

For most users, regardless of the validity of the defed, the user experience is terrible. Their social graph just suddenly, stops working, the people they follow can no longer see their posts, all because of the actions of a few bad actors or administration failures.

This paired with the fact that maybe only Firefish or Misskey lets you (mostly) seamlessly migrate to a new instance with your data intact, and the lack of a standard way to see what followers you will actually keep when you migrate, means that the defederation experience is sucks, and migrating to a different instance to escape that is a pain in the ass.

Meta has already shown it has piss poor moderation in the best of times, and actively boosts incendiary content in the worst of times, all while collecting, profiling, and exploiting your data. It’s literally inevitable that they’re going to break the rules of all but the free-est of free speech Instances, so for the privacy, safety, and headaches of everyone in the fediverse, we might as well save ourselves the trouble.**
