They are cringe.
And I know cringe (source: I am cringe)
Anyway, Lemmy turning into Reddit would be bad.
That’s what .world is for - it’s a containment instance that is slowly defederating from everyone else. Soon the ledditors will have their own little walled garden where they can narwal the bacon at midnight or whatever the fuck 😒
I actually just defedded myself from Lemmy.world after being reminded they’re doing some shit with Facebook andthe got rid of their largest piracy community. They can keep .world, most of the shittiest takes came from there (but don’t worry i haven’t forgotten about you guys .dbzer0 and .reddthat, you’re cesspits too) The absolute last straw was somebody from .world replying to me unironically with “who hurt you?”
dbzer0
To be fair, while there’s a clique including the owner that is remarkably shitty (“Stalin not giving enough support to the disorganized leftists in Spain is the same as him sending the Red Army to kill them, QED marxism is evil”), the majority of users from this instance are pretty cool.
I basically only interact with hexbear posts I just don’t feel like making another account plz let me live
that the one with the pretty active piracy instance? because the pirate people are cool
I certainly have nothing against piracy and, like I said, I think most of the userbase is cool

I read this on another post? What are they doing with Fb? Are we an ActivityPub protocol? I legitimately think we should federate and sabotage Meta. It’d be hilarious.
while specifically being defederated by meta would be peak, i don’t think it’s worth the risk of having facebook users coming into spaces that are meant for trans people.
It’d be hilarious if we got a news article on CNN about us or something over bullying zuck
Oh thank god
Literally everyone on this site is a Redditor and it’s funny how y’all try so desperately to claim otherwise. “no, no I’M NOT A REDDITOR”
I used to be a redditor, but I got better. exactly the same as how I was a dirty channer, but I got better. 💅
i’m not. tried to be, but they kept banning me for being too cool.
Kill the redditor, save the man.
Shhh you’ll ruin the bit
I think lemmy having libs is beneficial to us, because they are systemically in an uphill position in an instance mainly moderated by communists. The real engine of bad takes are from the “mutuals” we have with lemmy like .world and co. I think strategically the best option is to go after instances that aren’t federated with us rather than those that are. I don’t think there’s any benefit to letting red scare instances fester, and r/cth demonstrated how easy it is to cow rightists.
What I think is fascinating is the handful of people posting leftist memes to .world. Feels like lemmy has a critical mass of leftists that even when you try to make an extremely liberal space it still spills in
The question then, I suppose, is how many of those leftists are like us and how many are “Compatible Leftists” that are fundamentally non-threatening to liberals. Liberals typically love Chomsky types that let them feel like they engage in radical discourse while fundamentally failing to challenge power.
Preemptively posting this for when this gets screenshotted by some
“They think they’re an OWL!!!”
But dirt owl! You’re a redditor too!
Hexbear would drop to 0 users
First they came
Then they came
Then they came
Then
oh shit oh fuck
Yes I agree. Only us true hexbears should be allowed here.
I miss the 2 or 3 actually good subs on reddit. r/tipofmytongue was a great community, as was r/Stunfisk. But like, the handful of other good subs went private and then the company pushed more of the fasc subs, even though I blocked those multiple times over.
Oh look, an unpopular group is jealously trying to pretend it’s any different from the more popular group!
jealously?
Imagine being jealous of a fedora tipping nerd from reddit
Hey everyone! This nerd doesn’t pirate Nintendo games!
feeling particularly scratched, are we?
Cringe, prepare for purge
@reddthat.com users are so eager to be purged. Look at this one right now
That you have no idea how to get under our skin is probably the most unintentionally funny thing about this comment.
That you think I’m attempting to is what gives me a chuckle
So then what exactly was your point if it wasn’t to start some weird high school ass drama about not being the popular kids?
OP suggested purging redditors…but it’s the replies starting the drama?
You’re the only one getting upset about it.
lol…yes you got me. I’m upset about what random faceless idiots on the internet think… You don’t seem too bright so I’ll go ahead and tell ya that was sarcasm…
You care so little that you’re still replying to this thread two days later.
How very compelling.
I’m so jealous of Reddit you have no idea.
I really want to say the bacon narwhals at midnight
I want to spend my money giving digital gold medals to NATO feds
Gosh I wish I was popular. Everyone knows popular equals good, that’s why everyone loves Facebook and
Twitter𝕏 and never complains about them ever.That’s like saying reddit was the same before and after the digg exodus, though.
