Fediverse is Continuing, Growing, and Strong

It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again. Line go up is probably good!

Total users are huge now.

There are many websites out there that pull data from the fediverse. So take that with a grain of salt. But anecdotally I am seeing a small rise in people using the various platforms as each get more mature and servers somewhat stabilize.

Reddit is an AI dumpster fire. There are still decent communities, but the glory days are behind it (the 20teens). Reddit circa 2012-15’ was peak. Now it’s an AI slop infested milquetoast facebook alternative. Damn shame. Hopefully the user base will finally realize the ship has sailed straight up it’s own corporate butthole, and seek alternatives, such as this one.

You couldn’t have certain reddit subreddits here. For example, I follow r/Sverige which is the political right’s Sweden channel. And they talk about immigration as a major problem. How open would Lemmy be to discussions like that? It can’t even handle different opinions without defederation and downvoting.

No, i think Lemmy is good for memes and stuff but it can’t handle discussions that adults wants to have.

I don’t think there would be anything stopping them spinning up instances. It would be up to others whether they want to see their posts though.

I’m a leftie but I can handle having a conversation about immigration, as long as it’s mature, lucid and respectful.

mature, lucid and respectful.

fuck u, u got cooties

(just trying to hit all three points :) )

on lemmy it’s more the lefties who call you names than the righties.

should be fun when it’s both… but by then you will start getting banned because both will report you to mods/admins for ‘harassment’

already had a couple of incidents the past few months where someone told me to kill myself, I reported i, and my comments were removed as the ‘harassing’ ones. blows my mind, but that’s how reddit became a few years ago.

disagreement is seen as assault, and legit threats and violence are seen as an appropriate response

I’ve got you tagged as “aggressive responder” so maybe the mods had a point?
