The lemmy-network is (for now) full of tankies. Just look at this: https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/T...

You're egging and reducing a website because it has leftists on it while the paragons of personal responsibility, efficient markets, and the banking system are having a meltdown and getting a bailout.

Remind me again what government handouts and interventions are?

I don't understand the point of a comment like "there are leftists that use this website".

I'll take occasional bank failures over communism any day. The death toll of the SVB meltdown is zero.

Government handouts and interventions are social democracy, the system we all live in.

Reposting my comment from 2 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28453627):

FediTips, a Mastodon account, recently shared some concerns about the Uyghur-related content in the largest Lemmy instance, which is run by Lemmy's developers:

https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

This created a firestorm on Lemmy, on which it was noted that Lemmy removes conservative and libertarian communities with the reason "No conservative communities":

> Removed Community conservatives reason: No conservative communities

> Removed Community Libertarian, in the pursuit of a free society reason: No conservative communities allowed

Perhaps the underlying software is fine, but the largest Lemmy instance is not exactly the friendliest to anyone who wants to express themselves more freely than they are allowed to on mainstream social networks.

nice reddit clone

What's interesting about this is not that it's a reddit clone, of which there is no shortage, but that it's a federated reddit clone. It speaks ActivityPub, the protocol used by Mastodon.

Why is that interesting?

Honestly the current content is not doing the platform any favors. Who wants another social media option that ranges from the inane to the toxic?

Reddit like forums, open source self-hosting, federation, these are all good points but people need to see how they make a difference in practice.

Mastodon somehow managed to be seen as a less toxic version of twitter, though it might be mostly peoples wish than anything intrinsic to the platform.

But all new entrants in the fediverse party will have to think how to convince people that social media are actually worth the hassle

We don't have social democracy for regular people, only the rich and corporations

Well you can start your own instance.

But if the federation is largely people you won't want to interact with (or who refuse to interact with you), that just puts you on a version of Reddit with no other users.
