Yeah, and "wherever the community happens to be" will be Reddit. Mods have zero control over this.

What? 1: You didn't quote what I said, you quoted what you felt like I said. 2: Your wording is ambiguous. It could read as either reddit has already won and there is no use fighting it (which is some malarkey) or that wherever the people gather to have the conversations that they used to have on reddit.com will become reddit (which is weird but ok) Which one do you mean? Malarkey or Weird?

People are really going to miss attitudes like yours on Reddit, because that is the critical part of what makes the community great...

This isn't Reddit, we can both do better. I'm sorry.

While it's far from over, the Facebook-Twitter-Reddit consensus does seem a lot shakier right now. I'm excited to see what the more fractured/federated social space of tomorrow will look like but I also feel like we'll come to miss some of the more contentious features of the current megaplatforms (e.g. centralized moderation).

I agree, particularly because I think smaller communities are a solution to the moderation problems that have plagued traditional megaplatforms. That or developing better NLP tools that are able to better understand human nuance in a comment. The latter could be a dangerous tool...

> smaller communities are a solution to the moderation problems

Once I started to consider (because it's been pointed out) that Reddit outsourced their moderation to community volunteers this "fediverse" thing started to make more sense in principle. To use analogy phrasing I learned in school: "federations" is to "subreddits" as "fediverse" is to "reddit".

I've heard of, e.g., Mastodon having performance issues, even in a way that could be maliciously exploited, but that's in the implementation details. The theory seems rather sound for future internet communities. It's exciting in a certain way; it feels like the birth of a new internet.

Once you've built a community and a "library" though, as we see, it's hard to up and move it. At least, until the guy who owns the library threatens to burn it all down.

The whole damn point of the internet is that the "library" never ever ever actually MUST be "owned."

That may be the intent of some of the early founders, and it may be your and my preference, but it definitely isn't what has ever existed.

are there any popular apollo-like clients for aggregating lemmys?

i'm hoping all of my favorite subs move over and I can restrict my reddit usage to searching through archives for stuff.

So what do you call white supremacists who adorn themselves with swastikas?

“Clowns” or “Dumbasses who want to get attention.” That is maybe 5% of the people who that N-word gets applied to. Mostly it is an attempt at dehumanization that follows very much the playbook of Herr Hitler himself. If the antics of the occasional Nazi cosplayer get blocked that is not collateral damage, it is a very good thing even if it off target. That stuff gets amplified so much that somebody else is likely to…

you can be a clown and a nazi at the same time https://cbs12.com/news/local/orlando-nazi-demonstration-flor...

No, the members of /r/startrek are vowing to not use Reddit anymore. /r/startrek will be considered abandoned and given to anyone who asks for it. Reddit will take it away from these mods and I don't blame them. Maybe nobody will use it, but some people probably will, people who don't give a shit about stupid Internet wars and just want to read about and discuss things Star Trek. ...which, believe it or not, is most…

This is not solely about "mod wars" as you say. It's about being unable to use third party apps which are way better than the official Reddit app.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. 3rd party apps is the primary way I consume reddit. I'll probably stop consuming them after the shutoff date (or lightly consume their data since It'll only happen when I'm at a desktop).

I'm not going to install reddit's official app.

What are the current solutions for discoverability in Lemmy? Having a tombstone on Reddit pointing people towards a specific instance is good but it’s still hard to be the definitive community when the namespace isn’t as restricted any more. Maybe that’s better?

There's a third-party indexer here: https://lemmyverse.net/communities Much like any true decentralized system, there can be as many star trek communities as there are trekkies. But this is not a technical problem, it's a social problem: when wanting to discuss, they will naturally converge towards the same space(s). If there are multiple, that's not a problem, just like it's not a problem to have multiple linux dist…

What's the intended workflow, once I see a community I want to subscribe to? I've created an account on lemmy.world, but I see a community from lemmy.ml..... what do I do?
