Did you really have to use that stupid “fake news headline” phrase? Gross.
No, come to think of it, you’re right. I was thinking of communities that ban people in droves, but they still have a lot of members.
But the keyword in your comment is “enough.” So, yup, again in theory, if they ban 99% of the whole Fediverse, they won’t be the biggest community in it.
Thanks for the history lesson. I didn’t really know lemmy.ml was the first Lemmy instance.
Wait… is lemmy.ml really the flagship instance? I thought that was lemmy.world.
Here’s how I see it: an instance becomes bullshit, all the rest of the instances defederate from them. It has happened in the past, it will keep happening in the future. Lemmy self-corrects.
And if it doesn’t, welp, it will go the way of Slashdot, Digg and Reddit. I’d be okay with that.
And am I supposed to let other people be subject to that, too? Let people like that drag down Lemmy as a whole? Shouldn’t I have a nice and welcoming place on the internet for me and my friends?
It’s… Lemmy. One instance does not represent all of it. Move to a friendlier instance. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.
And in the end, lemmy.ml, like many other instances, are run by its owners, technically for the fun of it. They’re absorbing the cost. Not us. They can do whatever they want with their little toy server.
Look, I’m not defending them. They suck. I’m just saying that the internet is vast. Why focus of one small corner of it? Again, that’s like trying to change 4chan. Or moving to a tornado area and trying to get rid of the tornadoes.
Silly. The internet is full of echo chambers. Just move on. If an instance is run by people you can’t reason with, why hang out there? Will you try and change 4chan too?
In theory, yes. In practice, not necessarily.
hehe well, you can always edit your comment!
Are you saying that all popular instances are run by “tankies”?
Saying “trees” is like saying “mammals.”
Those trees from back then were different species of trees.
So, sure, mammals will survive, just like they survived the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. But we humans were not those mammals. And we won’t be the mammals that survive our self-inflicted apocalypse.
We will be long gone.
Is Voat still a thing? Let’s check…
Edit: nope. Gone. Good.
The copyleft license link does nothing to prevent what you’re trying to prevent.
People who downvote you don’t get it. That was funny!
The anti-commercial useless link.
You missed the point. The commenter is explaining why the parent commenter was heavily downvoted (hint: they’re doing something similar.)
You’re missing the commenter’s observation through that facebook joke.
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
Good job, but is this something that us common folks can use?
Otherwise, as much as a noble cause that was, helping a for-profit company save money, for the same amount of pay is like, eh… it wouldn’t be worth my time. But that’s just me.
