I used this tool myself. It deleted thousands of posts & comments automatically. It's pretty simple to use.

He shared a plan of attack. Is there anything that could be worse to share?

This guy's completely deranged, and he got elected president. There were probably ~165 million Americans eligible to run for US President in 20202016, and this is the guy that was selected. This is the one we came together and said, "Yep, he's the guy we trust. Let's put him in charge. He's the best we've got."

edit: wrong election year

yeah, this is the kind of outcome that would cause everyone at a family game night to enthusiastically review and amend the rules.

And thank you! I'm happy you like it and am proud to have founded it.

I'm 100% committed to the idea of going to a local protest with a sign that reads "End Small Talk". I don't really care what the protest is about, just waiting for things to pop off.

Then, there's this

Are you like me and have tons of lists that you ignore throughout the day until bedtime, then review to convince yourself you'll start on them first thing in the morning?

Hi, friend! Thanks for posting. I'm happy you are here and look forward to your contributions 😀

Me too! I'm excited to help the formative process so that it can turn into something fruitful.

I'm predicting that the app will probably be a bit buggy until this site gets the momentum it needs to receive more attention. Maybe one of the app developers that dropped reddit will get on it. Meanwhile, the app is good enough to interact. If I need to make any major changes, I can still use a desktop.

That just means we need more people to start more instances. The federated system distributes the load, so not one entity is responsible for carrying all of the weight.

Based on this comment alone, you've already caught up to your reddit commenting engagement! Congrats lol

So I'm no expert. I've just been learning about this for the past 2 days and am not a STEM. I did some vocational training and OTJ experience when I worked as a computer net admin back from 2001-2004. That's all my computer admin experience.

Instances are like servers. Anyone with a Linux machine can set one up as the system is FOSS and the documentation and program is helpfully laid out here. Someone setups an instance and joins the federated network following the instructions. The instances then all communicate to each other and share what is going on in their instances. The person running the instance can make rules that block other instances based on each admin's preferences. That means that as long as the instance you are on is communicating with the other instances, then you guys can see each other's posts and comments. Not only that, but the federated network includes other interfaces that aren't just Lemmy because the instances communicate using the same language. That means that kbin, Mastodon, and Pixelfed can also interact with Lemmy. You can see their stuff too! Another analogy would by like email, except emails were all posted on reddit-, twitter-, and photo- like forums instead of between two parties.

So from my layperson's understanding, this is like if anyone can host a full "reddit" with it's own "subreddits". And if they don't like a particular reddit's layout, they can try another reddit that looks and interacts somewhat differently. Yet, all the separate reddits can communicate with each other, share info, and not one entity can control the system. Ultimately, if you don't like your instance, you can leave and create the exact same community in another one. That means there could be hundreds of the same "subreddits" throughout the federation. Or, if you want to run your very own Lemmy/kbin/Mastodon/Pixelfed, go for it. Be your own admin.

Personally, I think it's a pretty interesting and progressive approach to power distribution of the social media. As a political anarchist, I find it quite interesting and appealing.
