It’s an incoherent mess, I was just compelled to share my misfortune with lemmygrad when I found it (sorry lol). And I briefly thought of refuting all the shit he spewed, but honestly my time is better spent doing anything else!

And I have no shame in saying it’s I Can See You by Taylor Swift!

Genmai Cha is a staple for me, I’ll always have that around. Other than that I usually have two or three oolongs (Formosa and Jade right now), a black or two, and a few other greens. Really love the Jasmine Pearls I have right now too

This shit happens all the damn time where I live. By the end of the day it’s a trash pile as high as the container

For sure, people definitely should be educated on what data is open (posts/comments), closed (voting on Lemmy as kbin seems to show them publically), “private” (DMs which are explicitly described as not private and to use Matrix etc. for actual encryption), or secure (Matrix). I feel like a lot of us on Lemmygrad are aware of privacy more than the average netizen, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a primer for new users.

I think for social media the best thing would just be compartmentalization of identities, so the usual advice of don’t give away too much of who you are and keep usernames separate unless you want them to be connected/known.

I’ll disagree on Mastodon being unique given it’s an animal and a band - for a long time in its history it was always under those. It’s been helped on the search results front though given it’s increasing popularity (and I’m guessing yet another new surge due Twitter’s rate-limiting). In time once Lemmy continues to grow, I’m sure it’ll get pushed up in search rankings as well.

I pretty much only post news on Lemmygrad communities so I don’t have to deal with reactionaries, which I’m also not online enough take the time to interact with. I do agree that we should build our communities and then crosspost to others to help spread info, but I’ll rely on others for that 😅

There’s a lot of info and discussion on this post that explains why. Pretty much that voting has never been private on other platforms as votes must be tied to users, otherwise users could add more than one vote per post. And this data must also be federated so that other instances’ posts are also safeguarded.

Lemmy isn’t designed as a privacy platform, it’s a socia media type link aggregator powered by ActivityPub. And with this federation brings decentralization, where it’s possible to not share data with other instances, but it will have to be shared in some way with any linked instances. There are pros/cons to each style: the current issues with Reddit show the problems with centralization, and there’s going to be an adjustment period as more people join Lemmy who don’t already know about the Fedi.

Don’t make yourself feel like you’re a “bad communist” if you’re not spending every available hour of your life organizing. You could eventually come to resent your work or comrades and burn yourself out, none of which is healthy for you or your org. A rested, focused, energized, and optimistic you is going to be a lot more productive in organization, and you’re going to be mentally in a better place.

I’ve been down the route of using all my time for organizing, and it’s just not sustainable. Yes we’re dedicated communists and this is a sacrifice, but we’re not all Che. Each of us is not going to be a super-human organizer, which is why we build together as comrades and not individuals.

We joined around the same time, and I definitely remember those days. And as Lemmy grows, we’ll always have Lemmygrad as our own space 🥰

Infinity will also be able to be compiled with a personal API key. That means though that it’ll be limited to 10 calls per minute and no NSFW posts, and allegedly Reddit won’t like it, but I’ve been testing it out and it seems to work fine.

I’ve seen far too many people pasting those raddle links as “proof” that lemmy is bad and to fear the scary tankies, yet they never compare anything to how reddit operates or the fact that lemmy is FOSS.

The absolute hypocrisy of sh.itjust.works banning lemmygrad, a communist instance dedicated to the working people of the world and the antithesis of fascism, yet allowing the potential for fascists to find a community on their server.

Focusing on it is definitely unhealthy; you let that resentment build and you’re down a path of pessimism and a view that the working class cannot be saved. We just have to remember that there are reasons why people flock to things like mutual aid and uphold them as exemplary actions: it’s personal, (relatively) easy to accomplish compared to base-building, and given it’s limited scope satisfying to see you do something that directly helps a handful of those most stricken by capitalist hegemony.

Trying to work with them can be frustrating, but unless they’re actively hostile towards communists or deviations that counter the true needs of the working class, let them be. Use your energy to do what you know is right: organizing & agitating for socialism in a communist party.

Plus their sidebar gives away what kind of people they are.

We currently have a Mastodon account you can follow for major updates: @beehaw at fosstodon.org.

From what I’ve gathered on Mastodon, a lot of instances have blocked fosstodon.org for being full of libertarian techbro takes. It’s always a waste of time interacting with them. Plus I’d rather not lemmygrad be a shitposters instance, leave that to the chapos on hexbear.

helix is incredible, completely replaced neovim for me. Granted I never used many plugins outside of language servers, so it was fairly easy to not worry about a lack of features.

This is really the only general video game community I followed on reddit given how young/toxic a lot of the other subs would be, so I’m glad for the community growing here on lemmy!
