After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I'm honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology....
If they are banned, it reduces their voice, which reduces the number of people they can influence. You might not change their mind, but you might stop them corrupting others.
I don’t think bot link posts are good for this platform. I think original content is useful, but links back to Reddit just makes this the shittiest possible Reddit client. Best case scenario it clogs the feed, worst case it actively pushes people back towards Reddit. If anyone disagrees, please let me know why.
I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived....
I recently started using Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit and there is one major inconvenience that makes it difficult to use. Specifically, there are no iPhone apps that support it (yet?). So instead, I am using it as a web app by adding it to my Home Screen. It works well for the most part, but there are no navigation buttons...
What is this type of picture? I see this type of thing as I watch a number of history oriented video channels. Is this an actual old photograph, or a painting, or ??? What's it called?
Mine happened when i first made a reddit account, i got banned from a subreddit with a tankie moderator because i questioned the logic of having lenin as the subreddits profile, for a subreddit devoted to anti conservative memes.
I am currently subscribed to 692 channels which sounds like the most adhd thing ever haha. I was curious if i was the only one with such a high number of channels subscribed too or if others are too.
Thank You Everyone For Rejecting The Fascists/Bigots At The Door
