The chronically online weirdos on world don't like the chronically online weirdos on ml. They are both chronically online weirdos and I try to view these really active communities or names I recognize like a zoo. These people are throwing shit at eachother for our amusement. Keep it separate.

Just chiming to throw some light hearted shade at lemmy.world for defederating from the piracy communities. My time on lemmy.world was really poor, and I came away not thinking too highly of Lemmy as a whole. My experience in different instances has been a world of difference, and I finally get fantastic content in my feeds and am fully on board with Lemmy

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 minutes ago

Yep, their defederation from piracy comms and moderation of Luigi-related politics are my two biggest gripes with the instance administration itself.

[–] NaturalViber@lemmy.world 2 points 8 minutes ago

Which instance are you using? I've been using world since start, but open to others. Never really looked into it too much.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

my man has no idea on the motivation behind federation

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Or... And here me out... when can go descentralised ;-)

Don't take it wrong. I dislike to check multiples communities just like you but then I remember how centralised my life is and I'm fine with it.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 minutes ago

yeah, I thought the whole point of lemmy was not to centralize everything ... it's nice when things are spread across separate instances, as long as the instances federate

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, but on which instance? Lemmy.ml is not controversy free and Lemmy.world already hosts like 50% of Lemmy alone. I think the only viable option that everyone could agree on would be another instance, but that would just leave us with 3 communities.

Relevant XKCD:

Exactly. Instead why don't let grow MORE NICHE communities with specific kind of memes on smaller instances?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That happens on active but themed instances like Hexbear, the problem is the drive to replicate a "generalist" instance. The fewer "general" instances the better the niches grow.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

An entire meme instance with no users attatched to it with multiple specific meme communities

I created dullsters.net just for just one community, it could be more if there were demand for dull content or another dull community wanted to come over, but I don't have any plans to make it some big thing.

Memes under lemmy.ml glorified stalin just shortly ago. My first post calling Stalin a Monster and explaining a little, was just deleted. Afterwards they tried to tell me that all his crimes and crulties were fake news or necessary evils.

Prett fucked up imho

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

How much libs whine about fuckin everything except the anglosphere is exactly why I'm glad there's an ml instance

[–] NahMarcas@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

I agree, theres no need to fight
