I’m not worried and don’t care about your instance or what you think about lemmy.ml.

I just think it is funny that the software itself is politically neutral but due to an extreme desire to censor the lemmy devs for “authoritarianism” that libs are developing undocumented authoritarian censorship methods into their forks.

Too funny, liberals freak out about free censorship-proof software created by communists because they are “authoritarian” so in order to censor them develop new software with authoritarian censorship built in.

I think you are having delusions

I am not a fan of Trump and am not like defending him. Would he have enslaved Mexicans? Maybe, I don’t think he actually makes decisions and is instead a puppet of the oligarchy so it is hard to say. I think they would like to have slaves.

But if we’re talking about the facts of what really happened in reality vs what “really” happened in Star Trek there is no way Gul Dukat is more deserving of a peace prize than Donald Trump, he is cartoonishly evil to the maximum level. He is space Hitler and in charge of the Space Nazi’s. He oversaw planet wide labor camps where they worked millions of people to death including the Bajoran equivalent of Auschwitz at Gallitep. He literally made a pact with malevolent spirits to embody the Bajoran antichrist. That is why I made this joke meme comparing Trump to him.

But they’re not more deserving if you really think about it right? Trump is a shitty person but he didn’t enslave an entire planet and kill millions of people (yet)

lol I don’t understand your point, the meme I made was comparing them as equals in shittyness and the guy I replied to said Gul Dukat would be more deserving of the peace prize than Trump. Neither are deserving 🤷

I mean… no? The character oversaw a genocide of millions of Bajorans, raped multiple people, sold Cardassia out to the Dominion and tried to kill his own daughter

I’d much rather Hexbear than people like you who are on a deranged multiple week crusade. Thank god for the blocking feature.

Interestingly each community shows up kind of like a user in Mastodon.

I think hashtags should be communities but I can see from an ActivityPub POV that would be difficult to dynamically create. Worth while though.

It also makes sense that a mastodon user should kind of look like a community or a maybe user in Lemmy but I personally don’t like following people and much rather follow topics.

I think it is kind of a mistake that Lemmy tries to replicate or replace Reddit. If you want your “niche” content (which I can never figure out what people mean but this but I digress), it requires the network effect of Reddit. Reddit still exists and both Lemmy instances and Reddit are websites. You can easily have two tabs or like both apps on your phone so I’m not sure why it has to be all or nothing.

I think a better use of Lemmy is to provide things that don’t work and don’t exist on Reddit. A good example is https://crazypeople.online/c/eternalplaylist where we post whatever we’re listening to and then sometimes comment on what other people are rocking at the time. I started https://crazypeople.online/c/streamingmovies just to post whatever bullshit I’m watching, maybe if you stream something from https://fmhy.net/ post it and we can all watch it.

I think the people using lemmy as a personal blog are more like what the platform excels at like https://lemmygrad.ml/c/spacedogschronicles and https://crazypeople.online/c/bitofarambler which became https://crazypeople.online/c/travel

Lastly I think the real win for Lemmy as a whole would be to figure out how to better interact with other fedi software. Maybe turning mastodon and pixelfed tags into communities and figuring out how to better integrate there would provide more and interesting content but in a scenario i find much easier to follow than subscribe to poster type twitter style microblogging.

TL;DR being Reddit 2 won’t ever happen until Lemmy has a reason to exist that isn’t being Reddit. Some people are building that and this is still early in the game.

They’re websites, one can use two websites. Such a weird take.
