  • I don’t think it helps that politics absolutely dominates Lemmy, where Reddit has enough diverse subreddits that you could probably just avoid politics all together.

    I think that’s the problem with all “alternative” social media… both ones that I like and stand behind like lemmy… and the opposite end, the Parlors, MeWe’s, Truth Social etc…

    The point is… mainstream people talking about shows, video games etc… rarely hit any kind of limitations in the public spaces. I myself still go on reddit to see communities of specific shows, games etc… and… it’s fine for that. If I were to try and make the suggestion for a show or movie subreddit to move to lemmy, it would be a tough case.

    The ones who see the flaws and limits of the corporate platform… are the ones either teetering at the edge of socially acceptable, or over it.

    Whether that’s say us lefties that believe All Cops are Bastards, or right wing guys that think america was better in Jim Crow era. Bottom line is… people looking for alternatives, are doing so because the existing platforms are likely to censor them… which means the alternatives will be disproportionately more extreme.




  • Guessing he made a pretty solid decision that he wouldn’t even think about helping anyone for at least a year.

    Hence why he’s record rushing executive orders.

    “Don’t lower prescription costs”

    “Kick out immigrants”

    “No due process”

    “Rename gulf of mexico”

    Hell only one I can even see that’s pretending to help people is “lower inflation by cutting regulations”. (Obviously it’s bullshit, but, it’s kind of pretending to believe that corporations are in a big hurry to pass the savings onto the consumers".
