  • Sure. You complained about that opinion, but it doesn't mean I can't hold that opinion. I don't agree with your observations or conclusions. We don't need more dimwit asshole conservatives here, if that's what you mean by 'wider audience'. That group already whines that Reddit is too leftist for them. I don't really agree that Lemmy is more extreme in that regard, other than specific instances like .ml or grad. The politics I see here are not more extreme and I don't find the user base 'repellant' at all, and I hold fairly typical US left views (would like more socialism, believe in human rights, universal healthcare, oppose racism, etc).

  • I don’t really get that either. New users are immediately presented with posts and communities they can interact with, and all of the functions are familiar to anyone who has used reddit or forums. The interface is straightforward and uncluttered, as far as what that contributes to the user experience. Also I have never found federation confusing.

    I guess OP is talking about the attitude of personality of lemmy members and I don’t agree with that, either. The 2-3 people on reddit quoted in the post are clueless and there’s no indication they represent a significant and amount of people’s perceptions. “Endless wars about federation” - what? There was controversy for like 1 week several months ago.

  • So Lemmy is filtering out people who can’t take 5 minutes to understand a simple concept and make a decision?

  • Um… okay, if the fairly mainstream for our demographic politics here repels certain people, good.

  • Maybe I’m more tech oriented than many, but I don’t find federation confusing at all. I’ve never understood why it’s described that way.

  • Those comments are fairly meaningless. Federation wars? Where? There was some controversy like a year ago from why I recall and everyone has moved way on. I wouldn’t even consider that UX either.

  • An improved version of old reddit with a good mobile view, which old reddit lacks.

  • How would you completely erase your current life and start over?

  • Do I start out in the same conditions or take a whole new roll of the dice?

  • Experts alarmed by Trumps’ crypto meme coins: ‘America voted for corruption’

  • Melania coin? Absurd.

  • Are the 'doors' on the ISS locked?

    Jump

  • They’re mechanically secured, of course. I don’t see why they’d need locks though.

  • Dream technology is weird

    Jump

  • I just had a dream where I used a laptop. I was on the phone with someone and had AirPods, but don’t remember seeing the phone.

  • What do you think have we taken for granted before it was enshittified?

  • Windows 95, 98 and ME were all DOS based.

  • Pretty sure they were being sarcastic, but your point makes sense (in conservative world where socialism is Bad) without the clown.

  • Wow, I recalled AltaVista, Lucia and Excite but have not thought of HotBot in forever.

  • What’s your personal health ranking for cooking oils?

    Jump

  • I was in a post on reddit sometime when we all got lectured about how every vegetable oil sucks and it's better to eat lard or duck fat or tallow. "You clearly don't know about lipids". Haven't figured out of that's true or not but I'd definitely rather use butter than margarine.

  • Locked

    When someone becomes banned from Lemmy, do all their posts and comments automatically disappear, or does the username just come up as invalid?

    Jump

  • No. You can still see profiles and posts of banned users unless they’re otherwise removed. The profiles say “banned” in red at the top.

  • Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky.

    Jump

  • Maybe they should have done this about a year ago.
