      Is there a reason why you’re promoting !ask@lemm.ee now? Ask Lemmy communities already exist on both .world and .ml, creating another community seems kinda counterproductive to me.

      You could either block a few communities or make your following feed your main one. I prefer the first case as it allow community with less trafic to reach the top of the page.

      There is a lot animal pictures, some fantasy genre conversation and plenty of renewable energie discussion somewhere hidden behind the very detailled and commented biographie of the trump/musk duo.

        For those of us using Firefox there was a post on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world on how you can use uBlock Origin to create word filters.

        To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the ‘My filters’ tab, and add this filter:

        lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)
        

        For example:

        lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)

      I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It’s daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.

        Idk, I came here with no idea about the instance system, I joined one that was near the top of the list, realised it was entirely Tankies, and made an account on the instance this account is on. I think people are likely to have a similar experience.

        Hear about Lemmy -> join one of the first instances they see -> realise how things actually work -> make an account on an instance that’s properly researched and more aligned with the person

            It would take someone being willing to host something like that, and every other instance agreeing with the idea. It’s a nice idea, but I really don’t think that it’d happen, too many moving parts, too many people to convince, and honestly too much risk of ending up a hotbed of unsavoury content, CSAM etc.

      I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to “win” against reddit.

      Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don’t like. I don’t like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.

        I agree with you. It’s short sighted to give in to a separate corporation to “beat” the first. The only way to beat Reddit is to stop using it and forget about it.

        The goal should be to remove the ability for a single entity to control the public flow of discourse.

      Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name “Luigi.”

      Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.

              Well, someone murdered the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and it is alleged that this guy named Luigi Mangione did it. The media went into a frenzy trying to make us hate Luigi, but since most Americans experience what is like to live under a system that treats healthcare as a way to make profits, nobody did. They even tried framing this as a left x right issue instead of a class issue but even many people on the right didn’t think Luigi did anything wrong. Luigi is also a conventionally attractive dude, so it’s hard for the media to play with people’s preexisting prejudices. After many attempts, they seem to have decided the best approach to this was to suppress all speech on the matter. They are trying to frame this murder as an act of terrorrism and seem to be very scared of the public response to this. Reddit is trying to ban any mention to Luigi (even Nintendo related ones), and also has banned many people who did as little as upvote a comment related to him.

              Kind of a lot 😅

      I was just assuming it was all the censorship because any post with Luigi automatically gets deleted for violence even in the Nintendo subreddits talking about Luigi’s Mansion

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
