Hey there! I am a science/technology enthusiast and regular contributor to Wikipedia. Elsewhere you may find me with the @[email protected] handle.

    How are y'all today?

    Jump

  • Doing good! Really happy with where I'm at in life currently.

  • Where do you get your news?

    Jump

  • I don't go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that's it.

  • Americans who believe in Socialism, if you were given the opportunity to immigrate to a country with socialist policies, would you?

    Jump

  • How can we boost Lemmy membership?

    Jump

  • I know they had a word block list but I'm unsure if it's still around.

  • If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

    Jump

  • Now no one will ever see all those super long !remindme bot posts set for 5, 10 or 15 years on Reddit

    Jump

  • @TheDude What is the Deal with Lemmygrad and Are You Going to Block Other Instances for Personal Reasons?

    Jump

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech

    Hate speech is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation".

  • Lemmy exceeds million users (maybe more accurately accounts)

    Jump

  • Sounds like it sorts out the right kind of people? I'm not aware of anyone actually asking you to write an essay, no one would do that. 2 short answer questions does not an essay make.

  • Lemmy exceeds million users (maybe more accurately accounts)

    Jump

  • It'll drop a little, but to a significantly higher level than it was before.

  • Update from Lemmy after the Reddit blackout

    Jump

  • It's so refreshing having a statement written by two people, instead of a board of lawyers.

  • Beehive: an update to defederating from sh.itjust.works

    Jump

  • Which they have been doing. They added a bunch of mods to local communities. But it just wasn't enough, according to them.

    Its surpassing [sic] how much they want to control what other people see.

    Well that's what they've said from the beginning. They wanted a more curated and friendly instance, rather than having the old reddit culture.

  • Beehaw defederating update - sh.itjust.works

    Jump

  • Or go to any of the other non-blocked instances.

  • We want to move away from Reddit, is kbin suitable?

    Jump

  • Either Kbin or Lemmy would work fine.

  • Locked

    Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Week 1

    Jump

  • Makes sense, posts can be (and are) automated via repost bots. Commente and genuine interaction is impossible to fake.

  • Discord vs Matrix - What’s Your Preference?

    Jump

  • Matrix is open source and has the same ethos as other projects like Lemmy.

    Discord is closed source and is similar to Reddit in principles.

  • a megathread for developments on Reddit and with third-party Reddit apps

    Jump

  • They'll appoint new mods. New mods that don't have any experience or any professionalism. New mods that may not even be the age of majority yet. It's a dumpster fire waiting to happen.

  • How will lemmy sustain itself?

    Jump

  • Donations. Click on the heart on the top bar to support Lemmy development and lemmy.ml hosting. Other instances have their own donation boxes

  • Are communities server-specific? i.e, is the "Gaming" community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org?

    Jump

  • That's right. [email protected] is different from [email protected]

    Note that you can use your same account to subscribe to both of them, as one may be more active than the other. Feel free to pick one or both it doesn't really matter. Different websites/servers have slightly different rules and different culture, so the posts and comments will be slightly different community to community.
