I wish someone would actually invest in competing product, with less censorship and no braindead mods.
If you don't like the mods/censorship you can host your own or go choose a new instance. content will be the same, mods will be different and what they mod will be different
Not saying it's bad for everyone, just my personal experience. It chases me away.
"Check out Reddit. Pick a subreddit: can start with https://reddit.com/r/popular or start your own. It's where everybody flocked to. It's decent, has decent content, decent users.
If you don't like the mods/censorship you can start your own or go choose a new subreddit. content will be the same, mods will be different and what they mod will be different."
So if one community like say, https://lemmy.world/c/linux So .. /c/linux has mods and they're questionable you can go find a server/setup that you might think has better mods or a better mission behind them and their /c/linux will be moderated different from lemmy.world's /c/linux but they will all still have the same posts/comments, upvotes downvotes etc. Lemmy.world's deleted posts wont be the new one's deleted posts.
It's a federated Reddit (decentralized) - It gained millions of users when Reddit users jumped ship. It gains more every day because they're getting sick of the astroturfing, left swinging bias, bot bloat, and terrible mods/reddit policies.
So while you can't oust the mods per se you can just go find a different webserver that hosts a lemmy and it'll have different mods, admins etc
Most people on Lemmy are leftist and left-biased, in fact there're some pretty big and problematic tankie instances, right-wingers are a rarity and they're ostracized. If anything, people moving to Lemmy are sick of all the neoliberal/right-wing bullshit.
Well, if it's like that, where's the _decent_ websites? I don't use reddit. I block X, Facebook, everything. All that's left is HackerNews. I just want to enjoy higher level discussions.
I'm not down with neo-nazis though.
There's also Kbin, which for all practical purposes is Lemmy, and interoperates with Lemmy, but is developed by different people.
I'm not? Are you replying to the wrong comment?
>Go and find a rightist echo chamber Lemmy if that's what you're looking for.
I don't want that, nor am I looking for one.
>This is like going to /r/socialism and complaining Reddit is leftist.
This doesn't make any sense. Again, are you replying to the wrong person?
>There's also Kbin, which for all practical purposes is Lemmy, and interoperates with Lemmy, but is developed by different people.
Never heard of it.
Are you replying to the wrong comment?
>Don't be obtuse. It's against the guidelines.
"Don't be obtuse" is nowhere to be found in the guidelines, where as your shallow dismissal is. Please don't post shallow dismissals. It's against the guidelines.
Why do you always ask this? No, I'm not. And the parent comment was replying correctly to you. The whole thread reads very clearly to anyone but you it seems.
Your response to /u/immibis was very strange and I cannot help but think you're doing it on purpose.
Pretending to misunderstand everything and doing the whole "are you sure you meant to reply to me" bit is cringe. And yes, you wouldn't do this if you followed the spirit of the guidelines.
Because these responses are nonsensical non-sequiturs. They read like if you fed ChatGPT reddit comments.
>No, I'm not. And the parent comment was replying correctly to you.
No they weren't, it's nonsensical.
>The whole thread reads very clearly to anyone but you it seems.
Just because you delusionally believe that doesn't make it true.
>Your response to /u/immibis was very strange and I cannot help but think you're doing it on purpose.
How was it strange? Doing what on purpose?
>Pretending to misunderstand everything and doing the whole "are you sure you meant to reply to me"
It's not pretending, the response is just nonsensical. The last part of the GP I understood and responded to, you clearly missed that.
>bit is cringe.
"No one understands my delusions so I'll call him cringy!"
Cope.
>And yes, you wouldn't do this if you followed the spirit of the guidelines.
And yes, you wouldn't do this if you followed the actual guidelines.
