I hope lemmy.ml is ready for the influx, particularly as this post linked them directly.
Hopefully NOT so it breaks and people go-to more sane instances
Think of your average redditor. They’ll just think it’s broken and go back to reddit.
Better than them going back to Reddit and thinking “Lemmy is just Tankies”
Like I’ve seen many times before
I honestly think those are bots and children. I was confused only very briefly by the least accessible explanations known to man, before figuring it out for myself. I just wish more people knew how to link !communities and @profiles.
Your username gave me a mini heart attack.
I always hope people get a little giggle at the joke after the initial shock.
!communities federation is busted. sometimes the final link is federated which makes it functionally useless for anyone outside the original instance. I haven’t been able to figure out why, just don’t down vote bomb anyone replying with a working link because it works for you, thanks.
I thought it was just my instance doing it! And everyone downvotes links no matter what. I think it’s something to do with apps opening them in the browser? I dunno
They probably don’t want the annoying people commenting “R slash funny” or “r slash clevercomebacks” on every post.
I didnt even hear the word tankie til I got here, its just other lemmy users keeping ppl away
I think it’s just that they are more obvious here, so it led to a popular use term. Bigger issue is that they can be kinda annoying and I suspect it might only grow their numbers if they are the default community that potential redditors have as their first experience in lemmy.
Another reddexit?
There have been multiple, i left at the second, but reddit is filled to the brim with AI accounts and people who have no idea. Even if its all fake, reddit has enough traffic Tongo on for a while.
True. But Reddit has already lost users. I 100% noticed a reduction after they banned 3rd party apps. Daily top posts don’t have as many upvotes as they used to. Less total comments.
A small win, but a win nonetheless. I mean, we’re here.
You lost me at the tankie instance link.
.ml is not the tankie instance. It just has some tankies, maybe more than others. I do agree that .ml should not be advertised as the default
ITT: reddit 2.0 normies (read .world) crying about .ml again
Yeah, us “normies” prefer to go to places that don’t ban you for not passing their purity test.
Lemmy mods delete posts and threads too. Interesting choice to use the Lemmy.ml instance in this message. Coincidentally they just deleted one of my threads in asklemmy recently.
Xit
here we go bois
They should really include the no ads thing. I think it’s a great selling point, and it would be useful to leverage.
While this is true some instances do need donations it’s very probable that some instances could include ads in the future.
Totally fair, but at the moment, there are none. And even if instances will start using 3rd party ads, there will also be instances that will never run ads. The power of federation at work.
It’s a little bit dramatic, it’s a little bit wordy.
Yup, it probably is a genuine thing from the source: certainly, it was written by a redditor.“Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
lemmy . ml sucks too, btw… this little flyer leads people straight into the worst instance… one that’s essentially only chinese communist propaganda
Yeah, this is a terminally online manifesto that I couldn’t even get through. It’s roleplay and storytelling, which is what our species is great at, but it doesn’t connect with reality beyond that.
Look guys, if you want to engage in some kind of organized social action that will actually make a difference, turn off social media entirely. You moving from reddit to lemmy feels good in a micro-narrative, but nobody cares, it won’t change anything for anyone. It’s not bad, but it’s not some heroic action either.
You can do so, so much more for the causes you care about by GOING THE FUCK OUTSIDE.
I think that you can leave reddit and do other meaningful things as well. In fact it might even help you do so. And being a little dramatic might just be what some people need as a push to do it. I didn’t get through all of this either, but then I have already left there.
You can do so, so much more for the causes you care about by GOING THE FUCK OUTSIDE.
I mean…it all starts with communication, right?
This platform is a source for communication. One that isn’t affected by corporate goons and Nazis the way Reddit is. The internet is literally the most effective form of communication if used properly. Yeah, you eventually have to go outside and get dirty, but it starts places like this.
We shouldn’t be putting this post down. It’s not productive.
So nice that radical activism only requires I switch apps 🥳
Plot twist: it’s a ploy by reddit to get extremists off their platform and on to Lemmy
It’s a plot twist to overload the servers of single instances.
Yeah this thing is worded so strong for what it is
I don’t know how the French are able to rally in real life and put everything on the line to push back fascism. I know I should do something real to fight back, but like, I’ve got a lot going on ya know? Maybe I’ll be rallied by the time atrocities have already happened, but I hope not.
We have unions, a variety of political parties and many organisations who have decades, even a century of experience on how to organise rallyes. The only thing common people have to do it show up. And still, most French won’t go even if they sympathise with the message (I almost never do it).
The main difference being that France is 248,573 mi² (643,801 km2)
The contiguous United States is 3,119,000 mi² (8,080,464.3 km²)
France also has a 3.5x higher population density
Inhabitants/km²
-
France: 124.4
-
United States: 35.2
The country’s population density doesn’t change anything to protest, it’s a cultural thing. People only live in cities anyway why would having huge empty fields affect protests ?
And there are plenty of denser countries which fight way less.

I saw a post on here the other day where someone was complaining that their coworkers “don’t care” about the current political climate and after they elaborated, they were describing people who do care but weren’t actively spearheading a demonstration. I don’t know if they expect them to go stand in traffic or what.
I give monthly donations to nonprofits that I like and email my state representatives when EFF or Fight for the Future tells me to but I’ve also got a life to live. Just stay informed, vote/petition, donate if you can, but live your life. You can only do so much.
I appreciate reminding me that taking the most extreme action is not the only way to respond here. It’s hard to not see Luigi and immediately think ‘that’s actually doing something right there!’ being engaged counts
Technically correct, but I wonder how people are gonna handle the really serious dictator shit, like friends and relatives disappearing instead of tweets.
We need a place to communicate, coordinate, and share what’s happening. Control of the narrative and the ability to prevent coordinated responses are essential for their plans.
Should’ve point to .world
Isn’t that one the most popular of the lemmy instances?
EDIT: this is mostly so the newcomer finds plenty content to not leave after a few minutes of browsing.
https://lemm.ee/ defaults to All, second most active instance
Oh, for fucks sake.
.ml? hope they know.
what’s wrong with my instance? its a real question, i dont use lemmy that often
Extremely sensitive admins who ban people from all communities for any criticism of China, Cuba and North Korea.
It’s a running joke on Lemmy at this point.
Jokes are funny. the Triad is barely amusing.
oops, i should migrate
So these socialist admins banned some people from all socialist communities. Then the liberal admins from the largest instances banned all socialists from all instances as collective punishment. Because… authoritarianism?
I mean that explanation doesn’t explain why the socialist instances are all pre-banned and pre-censored on the mainstream instances. Which makes the poster perfect irony.
They banned people from all communities on their instance, not just political ones.
I assume you’re talking about Lemmy world? They didn’t ban all socialists from all instances as that’s impossible. They defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad because they say how toxic their userbase was. They’re still federated with lemmy.ml because their users behave normally.
They do, look at their unbelievably purple prose. This person thinks they’re the modern day Lenin or something.
Fortunately it seems a number of us steered people towards other servers like BlahajZone, LemmyWorld, and SlrPnk.
Could we get a brief explanation for why those are bad too? I left a different instance because they removed down votes, but I just picked world because I saw more posts and comments from them at the time. It’s been more mixed lately
why those are bad too?
You mean BlahajZone, LemmyWorld, and SlrPnk? I think they’re generally pretty good. LemmyWorld has some problems due to its size and older versions of Lemmy.
That’s some grade A fine vintage gourmet cringe.
It’s quite bombastic. I just wanted a place that wasn’t run by a corporation.
I skimmed it the first time and didn’t notice how bad it was. I don’t like using the word cringe but this is quite the composition, lmao
What a hero
