  • I wish I could. It’s hard to get a community started on any new site where people have to make accounts and get in the habit of going there. The network effect is tough to overcome, too… people go where other people are, and then those places have content, and most people consume content, not create it. Also Reddit will ban you for promoting Lemmy, even through DMs.












  • “The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards, once again, prioritising speech.”

    Reminds me of how Elron is saying they’re going to censor or punish “negative” speech, as decided by Elron. Just in reverse. I can imagine the type of opinions Zucker is planning to enable on FB etc due to the “recent elections”.

    More political discussion sounds completely awful as having a constant stream of irritating or provocative political topics shoved in my face is why I left Twitter. Currently threads is surprisingly good about that, so makes sense they’re planning to ruin it.

    As far as making their systems work better for not censoring things that don’t need to be censored, that would be nice as it’s been a legitimate problem. I don’t have a huge amount of confidence though as they’ve always been terrible about that, like Twitter.
