Essentially blaming people expressing support for trans people for the right wing culture war focus on trans people is definitely a bit more than just saying you’re fine with trans people doing what they want. Stop being so dishonest about what people were pissed at you for. You know it wasn’t a “blatantly pro trans comment”
Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.
One of the instance that is promoted on join-lemmy.org is burggit.moe that is defined as "NSFW & Loli/Shota/Cub friendly". Loli is legally considered as paedophilia in europe and the US, so even if it's legal in the country that host the instance, I would suggest to not promote it as an instance to join
Yeah they can, so my guess would be they just don't check everything that shows up (at least if it's not at the top) and hopefully once this comes to their attention it'll be promptly removed
Even with solid moderation I feel like it'd be harder than for other subs just because you really need to have a decent population of people who really know what they're talking about
Similarly I wouldn't mind seeing something like r/trouduction show up here (bad translation errors but in French), although I suppose first we'd probably have to have any French-speaking communities at all, which for the moment it seems don't really exist
My experience with the Fediverse has only been through Mastodon, through which I struggled to find a community I really gelled with. Either it was supper overwhelming with meme posts or NSFW, or it was too chill to the point of nothing. Or, it was hyperfocused like FOSS/Linux and became uninteresting after awhile. May try again,...
Strongly agree. Mastodon is alright and I use it a little, but the twitter-type format never really worked for me. I feel like when I have to follow individual people I usually end up either following no one or being forced to follow people who post things that interest me sometimes but a lot of the time post things that really don't. Following particular topics or threads just seems much more natural to me; I can look at exactly what interests me and nothing more.
Wouldn't say it was stupid in that it was the result of me doing anything stupid, but it definitely felt pretty stupid when I managed to get myself a 4 inch splinter from a wooden guardrail fully embedded in my leg in a hospital parking lot of all places. The best part was, because I was just a kid, and the hospital didn't treat children, we had to drive to an entirely different hospital because of it.

Does that really make it totally apolitical though?. Like obviously it's not inherently attached to a wide reaching political ideology, but it still is political in the same way that any free software is kind of political.
Like they're objectively pretty useful but I find the experience of using one to just kinda suck and I avoid it as much as I can. I'd much much rather use a laptop or ideally my desktop if that's at all possible. No idea how some people manage so much time using their phones
I know it had its issues but I was pretty sad that the LG G5 sort of compromise where you got the removable battery while still not "looking cheap" never really went anyway.
Don't listen to anything on my phone but definitely agreed, I much prefer having the songs on my computer and using ncmpcpp to play them (and with a cool visualiser too).
Cephalids! Don't even know where it came from but at some point I got the idea to make a deck around Aboshan so I ended up going full cephalid tribal and while it's not very good I love it anyway.
I only joined the main Lemmy instance a couple of days ago, but browing by new, there's a pretty consistent stream of new posts now, even compared to the first day I was on here. I'm excited for this community.
It's really nice to see. I've kinda been following Lemmy from afar since I learnt about it in 2020 but I could never really get into using it because the activity just wasn't there, but things are feeling completely different now
Yeah it'd definitely be nice to get a bit more diversity in leftist viewpoints on here. For all my disagreements with them I don't generally mind anarchists or even some of the more traditional MLs or Maoists, but I do have kind of a hard time with all the Deng fans.
What format do y'all enjoy playing the most? I love the deckbuilding freedom in Commander and I'm kinda addicted to optimizing my decks. Some week I put more cantrips in all of my decks, another time I'm thinking I need more graveyard hate and slot more Scavenger Grounds in my decks.
Pioneer is my favourite but I don't play it because I don't have the money for a deck right now. Commander is fine but it doesn't satisfy that 1v1 60 card competitive craving within me, while standard is dead and Modern and Legacy are just way too expensive for me to ever have any hope of playing them.
When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, thean have a look at the Lemmy.world status
Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.
What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows?

join-lemmy.org is promoting an instance with paedophilia

People who think Lemmy is too political and refuse to join is good.
