don’t waste your money EFF this place sucks
Replying to @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone
Have you considered it’s not the space you hate but the people who occupy it? Try as hard as you may, you will not find a place for people to talk without finding people talking.
Replying to @Feathercrown@lemmy.world
err yeah? it’s the people here who I don’t get along with because I have hobbies outside of American politics, I have no issues on reddit or whirlpool or other places

It can improve if you use the block button liberally, especially on mastodon
Replying to @Cleisthenian@lemmy.ml
trust me I definitely use it, however fundamentally this is taking a place that has like 3 hobbies (American politics, Linux and Left Wing Progressive/American politics) and making it even smaller, this was supposed to be an alternative to reddit but it has like 7 active comms that aren’t somehow related to the above 3, even Lemmy Shitpost is filled with American/Left Wing Politics ALL the time
You’re going to say next: be the change you seek and I am however I am a drop in the American ocean
You might find that Piefed makes it easier to curate your feed. It has keyword filters which for me makes all the difference.

Yeah it looked great until the creator of it went on a mad dash banning everyone he didn’t like for wrongthink, not quite sure how your message came through to me I’m pretty sure I was banned for every ism under the sun
It’s especially ironic when I get called a right wing American when I detest America, the level of thought here is the most primitive I’ve ever seen on an internet forum “agree with me or you are nazi”
So here I sit, Lemmy has chased away all the normal people and left people like the above who say things like “why don’t you bring all your rightwing friends” when I don’t have rightwing friends, I have friends with hobbies outside of American politics, Linux and Left Wing Progressive/American politics, and if I dare complain about the lack of interesting content here it’s because I am lazy and not doing enough :\
What happened with the creator of piefed?
Replying to @atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone
If you search for rimu you’ll quickly find all sorts of interesting threads and comments, that said I thought he banned me but it looks like I mixed up rimu mass banning from piefed.social and teseract mass shadowbanning users
it’s funny because I thought coming from reddit there would be less moderation but instead it looks like the opposite has happened
Shout out to piefed for promoting this thread though:
