If you're still on Earth...

If you're still on Lemmy...

...you're supporting the solution!

I do not see how Lemmy helps with anything other than allowing people another excuse for escapism and scrolling on the internet over actually developing life skills, seeing new sights, socializing with humans, getting better at understanding people, and actually making an effort to communicate with others, doing some small part to make the world better.

I think the 'problem' the meme is referencing is supporting centralized social media run by corporations. I think the 'problem' you are talking about is more along the lines of tech addiction. Something can fix one problem without fixing every problem.

I don't want to be part of a problem. I want to be the whole problem

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Apparently if you want to do that you have to buy Twitter

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (13 children)

There are many communities still on reddit for which there are no alternatives on lemmy as of yet and if you want it to surpass reddit you need to stop with the toxic attitude and the false sense of superiority especially since a lot of the content on this platform is just reposts from 4chan, x, reddit. If curious folk come here and all they see is toxic threads and reposts why would they stay here? This is mostly in response to the comments I've seen on here not the thread itself.

have you ever seen Lemmy

ON WEEEEEEED

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

There's some weird shit going on, man. Beans flying everywhere, dudes who don't want to shit for 3 days. Who's that sending pictures of dead girls to everyone? I don't know! Mod team, go! Mod team, go!

[–] Kecessa 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No shit for 3 days? That's amateur numbers! There was that guy on Reddit that didn't go for a month and a half and had to get unclogged at the hospital!

Bro, I've been high basically every fucking day for the last 5 years for sure but we're getting on a decade here.

There isn't much shit I haven't tried on weed because raw dawgging this timeline is a guaranteed shotgun slurpee.

The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don't really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going "Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!" and anime fans going "Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!" on Bluesky.

Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 5% memes about politics, 5% memes about Lemmy being better than Reddit, and 10% Linux.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It used to be so much more Linux, but replacing that with politically charged statements parading as memes isn't a much better alternative. My two least favorite parts of Lemmy are how every conversation is somehow just one degree of separation from Linux or Nazis. Meme about dogs? Now the conversation is about genocide.

Its true. I have friends still using it and they can't seem to break free. I used Reddit since its inception, but left it immediately during the api-pocolypse and never looked back. I did the same with Proton when the CEO praised the GOP. I have no loyalties to tech companies.

Don't we still have a few years before lemmy somehow enshittifies?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (28 children)

It's impossible by design. If an instance enshittifies people will just leave the instance.

The fact that this is being upvoted so much I think demonstrates a big misunderstanding of how the fediverse works.

Nobody owns Lemmy and if a instance does something shitty it costs hardly anything to change instances. Nobody owns the lemmy software, and other softwares like mbin/piefed exist too with the same content.

You left Reddit because you wanted to tell a message

I left because I was banned site wide cause of an unpopular opinion in a gaming subreddit

We are not the same

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (9 children)

Wait, what's wrong with Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

If you know you know

I mean, I presume... I don't know, so I don't know

Reddit is like CNN, which is Fox-lite, while xitter is ( oan and newsmax)

Just deleted my reddit and joined Lemmy. Do I have to quit already?
